Effective and last updated: October 22, 2026
Darel Roa Photography ("we," "us," or "our") explains below how we handle personal information when you visit our website, contact us, or use our photography services.
Information we collect and use
You may provide your name, email address, phone number, inquiry, appointment or booking details, order and photo-delivery information, photographs, and correspondence. If you choose SMS, we also collect your messaging preferences and consent records. Our website hosting providers may process technical information, such as IP addresses and request logs, to operate and protect the website.
We use this information to answer inquiries, arrange photography services and appointments, manage orders, provide photographs and galleries, communicate service updates, maintain business records, and protect our services.
How the website inquiry form works
Our inquiry form prepares an email draft or copies your inquiry so you can send it. The form does not send your inquiry to our server or save form responses in browser storage. We receive your inquiry only if you send the email. If you select the optional SMS checkbox, its consent wording is included in the prepared inquiry. Creating a draft or copying an inquiry does not itself deliver that consent to us.
Service providers and sharing
We use service providers for website hosting, email, messaging, and photography galleries or delivery. They may process information needed to provide those services. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect legal rights. The SMS restrictions below apply to our handling of mobile information and messaging consent.
We do not sell or share your phone number with other businesses for marketing or promotional purposes. No mobile opt-in or text message consent will be shared with third parties or affiliates.
External Zenfolio galleries and map services have their own privacy practices. When you follow an external link or use one of those services, review its privacy policy. This policy describes Darel Roa Photography's practices.
Retention, security, and your choices
We keep personal information for as long as reasonably needed to provide services, maintain consent and communication records, meet legal or accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our business. Retention depends on the information and purpose. We use reasonable safeguards, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
You can contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information. We may verify your identity and retain information needed for legal obligations or legitimate business records. You can choose not to provide optional information or receive SMS.
SMS Terms
If you opt in, Darel Roa Photography may send customer-service messages, appointment confirmations and reminders, and updates about your orders, photographs, or galleries. This SMS program is limited to these service communications.
- Consent: SMS consent is optional and is not a condition of purchasing services. Providing a phone number alone does not authorize texts. We obtain consent for the relevant message types and keep records of consent and opt-out requests.
- Frequency and charges: Message frequency varies with your inquiries, appointments, and orders. Message and data rates may apply.
- Opt out: Reply STOP to stop SMS messages. We honor opt-out requests. You may also contact us to withdraw consent.
