Privacy & Cookies.

Who this notice covers

MadairyOriginals Photography is a Maryland-based photography and visual-media business. We provide information about services and examples of our work, and we direct visitors to ways to make inquiries or book services.

This notice relates to information we handle in operating the website and responding to prospective and existing clients. Where you use an external provider's website or service, its own privacy notice also applies.

Information we may collect

Information you provide voluntarily

• Contact details such as your name, email address, telephone number and business name when you reach out.
• Project details, requested services, property location or address, appointment preferences and other information you include in an inquiry.
• Photos, files and related materials that you choose to send in connection with a potential or active assignment.
• Order and transaction details made available to us by a booking or payment provider, such as service purchased, billing details and transaction status.

Technical information

Like most websites, this site and its hosting infrastructure may process technical data needed to serve and protect the site, such as IP address, browser or device details, requested pages, request timestamps and error or security logs. Such data may be processed by our hosting and network providers.

We do not ask visitors to enter payment-card numbers directly into the main website. If payment is offered through Square, information entered into Square's checkout is handled through Square's service.

How information is used

We may use information to answer inquiries, prepare quotes, schedule and deliver photography or media services, communicate about projects, provide customer support, manage orders, maintain business records, meet legal obligations and operate and protect the website.

We may also use contact information to follow up about an inquiry or existing client relationship. Unrelated promotional messages, if offered, will be subject to applicable marketing and unsubscribe requirements.

Service providers and external links

To operate the business and fulfill client requests, relevant information may be handled by service providers in categories such as website hosting, email, file delivery, invoicing, scheduling and payment processing. These providers process information according to their respective services and agreements.

Square ordering and payment

Some booking and payment links take you to Square's buyer privacy notice and associated Square-hosted experiences. Square may collect payment, device, transaction and other information and may use cookies or similar technologies on its own pages. Those activities are governed in part by Square's notices and controls.

Google Fonts

Website typography may be delivered through the Google Fonts service. Loading fonts can cause your browser to contact Google servers, which receive technical request information such as an IP address. Google's Google Fonts materials describe that service.

Other destinations

Links to external websites, including Lumen Edit Labs and any social platforms, are provided for convenience. We do not control their independent collection or use of information. We may disclose information if reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, defend legal rights or protect the safety and security of our services.

Cookies & similar technologies

Cookies are small files that a website may store in your browser. Other technologies, such as browser storage and tracking pixels, can serve related purposes.

What we observed on the main website

In a November 2026 browser review of the main site's public pages, no cookies were listed for the site domain, and the captured network requests did not show Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or conventional advertising trackers. This is a point-in-time observation, not a guarantee that every page or future feature will behave identically.

Necessary technical requests and server-side operational logging can occur even when the browser shows no cookies. Google Fonts also makes requests to an external service.

Ordering and other outside services

If you open Square or another external service, that provider may set its own necessary, analytics or other cookies. Please review that provider's cookie choices and privacy information before submitting information.

Your controls

You can inspect, block or remove cookies using your browser's privacy settings. Blocking some necessary cookies on external booking or payment pages may prevent those pages from working properly.

The main website has not been configured to make different tracking choices based on browser “Do Not Track” signals; no cross-site behavioral advertising technology was identified in the pages reviewed. If nonessential tracking is introduced in the future, we will reassess applicable notice, opt-out and consent requirements before deployment.

Your privacy choices

Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, or to object to certain uses. Not every right applies in every circumstance, and business or legal retention requirements may limit some requests.

To ask what information we have about you, request a correction or ask for deletion, contact us using the email address below. We may need to verify your identity before responding. We will handle valid requests in accordance with applicable law.

You may also choose not to send us an inquiry, or contact us directly rather than through a third-party platform. Choices regarding a Square account or Square-hosted payment activity should also be directed to Square when appropriate.

Retention & security

Information is kept for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this notice, including communicating with you, completing agreed work, maintaining appropriate business and tax records, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations. Retention periods depend on the record and the circumstances.

We take reasonable steps appropriate to a small professional services business to safeguard information. No website, electronic communication or storage system can promise absolute security. Please avoid transmitting highly sensitive information unless it is needed and an appropriate secure method has been agreed.

Changes to this policy

We may revise this notice if our website, service providers or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. When a material change requires additional notification or consent, we will provide it as required by applicable law.
