Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 September 2026

Paul Binnion Photography respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when you use this website, contact me, subscribe to email updates or place an order.

This policy explains what information I collect, why I use it, who I may share it with and the choices and rights you have in relation to your personal information.

Who I am

Paul Binnion Photography is a photography business based in Nottinghamshire.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how your information is used, you can contact me at:

Email: paulbinnionphoto@icloud.com

Information I may collect

Depending on how you use the website, I may collect:

• your name

• email address

• telephone number

• billing and delivery address

• information you provide when contacting me

• information relating to an order or enquiry

• information you provide when booking photography tuition

• information you provide when discussing a photography commission

• your preferences if you subscribe to my email updates

• technical information about how you use the website, such as pages visited and general website usage information.

I do not ask for or intentionally collect sensitive personal information through this website.

How I use your information

I use personal information only where it is necessary for purposes such as:

• processing and delivering orders

• communicating with you about an order or enquiry

• arranging photography tuition

• discussing and carrying out photography commissions

• responding to requests for information

• providing customer service

• sending email updates where you have chosen to subscribe

• maintaining and improving the website

• keeping appropriate business and financial records

• complying with legal and accounting requirements.

I will not sell your personal information to third parties.

Orders and payments

When you place an order through the website, I receive the information necessary to process and fulfil that order, such as your name, contact details and delivery address.

Payments are processed through the payment services made available through the website, which currently include PayPal, Stripe, Apple Pay and Klarna. Your payment details are processed by the relevant payment provider rather than being stored by Paul Binnion Photography.

The payment provider you use may have its own privacy policy and terms explaining how it handles your information.

Photographic prints

Photographic prints sold through this website are produced to order by a professional print supplier.

Information necessary to fulfil an order may therefore be passed to the relevant printing and fulfilment provider, including your name, delivery address and details needed to produce and send the order.

I only provide information that is necessary to fulfil the order.

Email updates

If you choose to subscribe to my occasional email updates, I use Mailchimp to manage the mailing list and send emails.

These updates may include information about new photographs and prints, exhibitions, photography tuition, markets, workshops, books, calendars and other news relating to Paul Binnion Photography.

You can unsubscribe from these emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in every marketing email.

Mailchimp processes personal information in accordance with its own privacy policy and terms.

Contact forms, email and WhatsApp

If you contact me through the website, by email or through WhatsApp, I will use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry.

Depending on the nature of your enquiry, I may retain correspondence so that I can deal with your request, provide customer service or maintain an appropriate record of an enquiry or booking.

I do not use information from ordinary enquiries to send marketing emails unless you have separately chosen to subscribe to my email updates.

Photography tuition and commissions

If you enquire about photography tuition or a commissioned photography project, I may need to keep information such as your name, contact details, requirements, booking information and correspondence.

This information is used to arrange and provide the service you have requested and to maintain appropriate business records.

Website analytics and cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies for essential website functions and, where enabled, analytics and other services.

I use Google Analytics to help understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited and how people interact with the site. This information helps me understand how the website is being used and improve it.

Some cookies are necessary for the website or shop to function. Other cookies may be used by third-party services such as payment providers, embedded content or analytics services.

Where consent is required for non-essential cookies, the relevant consent options should be provided when you visit the website.

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Third-party services

The website uses a number of third-party services to provide particular functions. These may include:

• Hostinger, which provides website hosting and website/shop functionality

• PayPal, Stripe, Apple Pay and Klarna, where used to process payments

• Mailchimp, for email marketing

• Google Analytics, for website analytics

• printing and fulfilment providers used to produce and deliver photographic prints

• other service providers where necessary to operate the website or fulfil an order.

These services may process personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.

How long I keep your information

I keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Information relating to orders, payments and business transactions may need to be retained for longer periods to meet legal, accounting and tax requirements.

Correspondence and enquiry information may be retained for as long as necessary to deal with the enquiry, provide appropriate customer service or maintain a record of a business relationship.

If you subscribe to email updates, your information will remain on the mailing list until you unsubscribe or the mailing list record is otherwise removed.

Keeping your information secure

I take reasonable steps to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you have rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to:

• ask what personal information I hold about you

• ask for inaccurate information to be corrected

• ask for your information to be deleted where there is no good reason for me to continue holding it

• object to certain uses of your information

• ask for processing to be restricted in certain circumstances

• withdraw consent where I am relying on consent to process your information

• receive certain information in a portable format where applicable.

You can also unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email.

If you want to exercise one of these rights, contact me at paulbinnionphoto@icloud.com.

Complaints

If you have concerns about how I have handled your personal information, please contact me first so that I have an opportunity to address the issue.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your personal information has been handled unlawfully or your data protection rights have not been respected.

Changes to this policy

I may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the services I use or relevant legal requirements.

The latest version will always be published on this page.

Returns, Refunds and Cancellations

Your right to cancel

When you buy goods online, you normally have a legal right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving the goods, without having to give a reason. You then normally have a further 14 days to return the goods.

If you wish to cancel an order, please contact me as soon as possible at:

paulbinnionphoto@icloud.com

Once you have told me that you wish to cancel, I will provide instructions for returning the item where a return is required.

Where the statutory cancellation right applies, I will refund the relevant payment within the period required by law. Refunds normally include the cost of standard delivery where applicable.

You are responsible for taking reasonable care of goods while they are in your possession.

Photographic prints

All photographic prints sold through this website are produced to order.

A print being produced to order does not by itself mean that you lose your statutory consumer rights. Where a legal right to cancel applies, it will continue to apply.

If a print arrives damaged, faulty or is not as described, please contact me as soon as possible and I will work with you to resolve the problem.

Faulty or damaged goods

Your statutory rights are not affected by anything in this policy.

If an item arrives damaged, is faulty or does not match its description, please contact me with details of the problem. Where appropriate, I may ask for photographs of the damage or fault so that I can investigate it with the relevant supplier.

Nothing in these terms limits your legal rights in relation to faulty, damaged or misdescribed goods. UK consumer law does not allow businesses to exclude responsibility for faulty goods or goods that are not as described.

Greeting cards, books and calendars

Standard greeting cards, books and calendars purchased online are subject to the same applicable consumer cancellation and refund rights as other goods sold online.

If an item arrives damaged or faulty, please contact me and I will arrange an appropriate solution.

Terms and Conditions

Orders

By placing an order through the website, you are making an offer to purchase the selected products.

I will confirm your order and provide the relevant order information electronically.

I reserve the right to contact you if there is a problem with an order, including an error in pricing, availability or delivery information.

Prices

All prices are shown in UK pounds sterling (£).

The price displayed for a product is the price payable for that product at the time of ordering, subject to any clearly stated promotional offer.

Postage and packaging are included in the price of photographic prints unless otherwise stated.

Delivery

Photographic prints are produced to order, so please allow up to seven days for delivery.

Delivery times can vary depending on the product, print size, supplier and destination.

If you need a print by a particular date, please contact me before ordering and I will let you know what is possible.

For other products, the relevant delivery information will be shown on the product page or during checkout.

Orders will normally be delivered within the period agreed at the time of purchase and, where no different period has been agreed, within the period required by applicable consumer law.

Intellectual property and copyright

All photographs, images, written content and other original material on this website are the copyright of Paul Binnion Photography unless otherwise stated.

You may not reproduce, copy, download, modify, distribute or use my photographs for commercial purposes without prior written permission.

Purchasing a photographic print does not transfer copyright or reproduction rights.

Website content

I make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information on this website is accurate and up to date, but information such as event dates, product availability and delivery times may change.

Photographs shown on screen may also appear slightly different from physical prints because of differences between screens and printing processes.

Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.

In particular, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
