Privacy Policy — Three Strands Photo
Effective date: November 2, 2026
Three Strands Photo ("we," "us," or "our") is a husband-and-wife wedding photography business operated by Dallas and Valentina Collins in Austin, Texas (formerly Dallas Gannon Photography). This policy explains what information we collect through our website and advertising, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our website or submitting an inquiry, you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
Information you give us
• Contact details you submit through our inquiry forms, lead forms, email, or direct messages — such as your name, email address, phone number, and Instagram handle
• Details about your event or session — such as your wedding or session date, venue or location, and the services you're interested in
• Anything else you choose to share with us in messages or during a consultation
• If you become a client, booking and payment details handled through our booking platform (ShootProof) and its payment processors — we do not receive or store your full card number
Information collected automatically
• Device, browser, and usage data about how you interact with our website (pages viewed, time on page, referring source), collected through cookies and similar technologies
• Analytics data via Google Analytics, and advertising measurement data via tools such as the Meta Pixel, which help us understand which ads and pages lead to inquiries
Information from third parties
• If you contact us through a platform such as Meta (Facebook/Instagram lead forms or messages), Thumbtack, The Knot, WeddingWire, or Zola, we receive the information you submitted there
How we use your information
• To respond to inquiries and communicate with you about your date, session, or booking
• To provide photography services and deliver your gallery
• To operate, secure, and improve our website
• To measure and improve our advertising (for example, understanding which ads produce inquiries)
• To send occasional updates or offers — only where you have asked for or agreed to them, and you can opt out at any time
• To comply with legal obligations
Cookies and tracking
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for basic functionality, analytics (Google Analytics), and advertising measurement (such as the Meta Pixel). You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect how parts of the site work. Advertising platforms may use this data to show or measure ads in line with their own policies.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information.
We share information only with the service providers we use to run the business, and only as needed for them to do their work — for example: website hosting (Showit and WordPress), booking and payments (ShootProof and its payment processors), analytics and advertising (Google and Meta), and email and communication tools. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.
Data retention
We keep inquiry and client information for as long as needed to provide our services, maintain business records, and meet legal and tax obligations. You may ask us to delete your information at any time (see below), and we will do so unless we are required to keep it.
Your choices and rights
• Access, correction, deletion: email us to ask what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted
• Marketing opt-out: unsubscribe using the link in any marketing email, or contact us directly
• Do not sell or share: we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising beyond the measurement tools described above; you may still contact us to opt out of any sharing you believe applies to you
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local privacy law; we will honor valid requests in line with applicable law.
Children's privacy
Our website and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page with its effective date.
