Privacy Policy

• The only personal information we collect is what you send us through the contact form, plus the basic technical details any website receives.
• We use it to reply to you and to do the work you ask about. We never sell it, rent it or use it for advertising.
• There are no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies on this site.
• You can ask to see or delete what we hold about you at any time: contact@lensedbyjb.com.

When you use the contact form (on the homepage or the contact page), we receive:

• your name and email address;
• your Instagram and TikTok handles, if you add them;
• your message;
• the link to a photo, if you came from “License this photo”.

If you email us or message us on Instagram instead, we receive whatever you include there.

Like every website, ours receives technical details with each request: your IP address, your browser and device type, the page you asked for and when. Our hosting provider uses them to deliver pages and to protect the site from abuse, and keeps them only briefly.

Cookies. The public site sets no cookies, and runs no analytics, advertising or social media trackers. It keeps one small note in your browser’s session storage so the welcome screen appears only once per visit; it never leaves your device and disappears when you close the tab. Sign-in cookies are used only on the private editor that the photographer uses to manage the site.

• to reply to your message;
• to discuss, arrange and deliver a booking, or a license to use a photo;
• to keep ordinary records of our business;
• to keep the site working and secure, including filtering out spam sent through the form;
• to meet our legal obligations.

We don’t sell or rent personal information, or share it for advertising. A few service providers handle it on our behalf, only to run the site and deliver your messages:

• Vercel, which hosts the website;
• Supabase, which stores messages sent through the contact form, so none are lost;
• Resend, which delivers each message to our inbox;
• Google, whose Gmail service is our email.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights or someone’s safety. Links to Instagram and other sites lead to services with their own privacy policies.

We keep your messages for as long as we need them to reply to you, to arrange and deliver any work, and to keep reasonable business records. You can ask us to delete them sooner, and we will, unless we have to keep something by law.

You can ask us to tell you what we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, or to stop using it. Email contact@lensedbyjb.com and we’ll respond within 30 days. We may need to confirm that a request comes from you.

Depending on where you live (for example California, the European Union or the United Kingdom), local law may give you further rights; we honor these requests wherever you are, and you won’t be treated differently for making one. Because we don’t track visitors, there is nothing to opt out of for browser signals such as Global Privacy Control.

This site isn’t directed to children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email contact@lensedbyjb.com and we’ll delete it.

The site is served only over encrypted connections, contact form messages are stored with access limited to the photographer, and our service providers protect their systems with industry-standard safeguards. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your information safe.

We are based in the United States, and our service providers process information in the United States. By contacting us from elsewhere, you understand that your information will be handled there.

If we change how we handle information, we’ll update this page and the date at the top. Significant changes will be noted here.
