PLEASE REVIEW THIS POLICY CAREFULLY
The following describes how Alana Lynn Photography, LLC Ohio Limited Liability Company (“Alana Lynn
Photography, LLC,” “I,” “me” or “my”) uses and disseminates information you provide through
alanalynnphotography.com and its sub-domains and affiliated sites, as well as Alana Lynn Photography, LLC pages
and accounts on Instagram® and Facebook® (the “Sites"). If you ever have questions about this Privacy Policy,
please contact me at the information below. Please also review my full Terms and Conditions of Use, which also
govern your use of the Sites. By using this Site, you are consenting to this Privacy Policy.
COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.
Unless I expressly note otherwise, I do not collect personally identifiable information from users of my Sites. When
you visit my Sites, some information about your computer hardware and software is inherently automatically
collected, such as your IP address, domain name, browser type, access time and referring website addresses. I
typically do not use this information for any purpose, but an example of when I may use this information is in
implementing improvements and analyzing the Sites and for troubleshooting purposes. I also utilize this information
to monitor and improve services and to ensure that your use of the Sites is in compliance with my Terms of Use.
Most of my services do not require any form of registration, allowing you to visit the Sites without telling me who
you are. However, some services, such as email opt-ins may require you to provide me with Personal Data. In such a
case, you may choose to withhold any Personal Data requested by me, but it may not be possible for you to gain
access to certain parts of the site or content. I require only the information that is reasonably required to enter into a
contract with you. I will not require you to provide consent for any unnecessary processing as a condition of
entering into a contract with me.
INTERNATIONAL PRIVACY LAWS AND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE GDPR
If you are visiting the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that you are sending information to the
United States where my servers are located. Information you submit may then be transferred within the United
States or back out of the United States to other countries outside of your country of residence, depending on the type
of information and how it is stored by me. These countries (including the United States) may not necessarily have
data protection laws as comprehensively protective as your country of residence; however, my collection, storage,
and use of your data will at all times continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy.
If you are a member of the European Union (EU), you have special rights under the GDPR. Those include: You
have the right to object to the processing of your data and the right to portability of your data. All complaints must
be sent to alanalynnphotography@gmail.com. You also have the right to erasure, rectification, access, or to seek
restrictions to the processing of your personal data in my system. To the extent you provide consent to my
processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Any withdrawal of
consent does not apply to data collected lawfully prior to such consent. You have the right to lodge a complaint with
a supervisory authority containing jurisdiction over GDPR related issues.

deleted.
I do not give away, sell, rent or lease any users’ personally identifiable information to any merchant, advertiser or

computer) may be shared with third party businesses or advertisers with which I have a business or contractual
relationship. I reserve the right to disclose personal information when needed to comply with the law or a legal
process, cooperate with investigations of purported unlawful activities, to identify persons violating the law, in
connection with the sale of part or all of Alana Lynn Photography, LLC’s or its affiliates' assets, or to enforce my

information may be collected and used by others accessing those portions of the Sites. I do not monitor information
you disclose on the Sites nor do I accept any liability associated with your voluntary disclosure of the same.
You are responsible for reviewing the privacy statements and policies of other websites you choose to link to or
from the Sites, so that you may understand how those sites collect, use and store your information. I am not
responsible for the privacy statements, policies or content of any other websites. Websites containing co-branding
(referencing my name and a third party’s name) contain content delivered by the third party and not me.
In addition to the uses described above, we may use information collected from cookies or analytics tools to track how visitors interact with our Sites (for example, which buttons or galleries are clicked). This information helps us improve the Site and our services.
We do not combine this information with personal data in a way that identifies individual visitors without your consent. All other uses of your personal information remain as described in this Privacy Policy.
USE OF INFORMATION WITH AI
I will take all possible technical, administrative, and organizational precautions necessary to keep your data safe
including but not limited to taking all actions within my control to keep this GPT private, barring OpenAI from
scraping information from this custom GPT, and only requesting necessary information from you. However, no
Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free, and I cannot guarantee that OpenAI does not utilize
information for its own purposes. Thus, I strongly encourage you to take special care in what information you send
to me through this app or the use of any GPT on my site. Additionally, I strongly recommend you do not input any
information into the GPT provided that would be deemed private or unnecessary including identifying information
of yourself or another person. You should take special care in deciding what information to input into this GPT, and
only input information into the GPT that is minimally necessary for your desired output. I will continue to research
and review current security law, and review my security measures and privacy policies specifically in relation to AI
and custom GPTs. By using this site, and any GPT capability provided therein, you expressly agree and
acknowledge that you are doing so by your own volition and assume all risks associated with such action.
LIMITATIONS.

you to a third party through your use of the Sites; (ii) any disclosure of your personal information obtained illegally
from me; or (iii) any accidental disclosure of your personal information made by me.
POLICY CHANGES.
I may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any modifications will be effective immediately when I post
them. I will take steps to notify users of any modifications, however, you are responsible for reviewing any modified
terms. When I update my Policy, I will note the date of revisions at the top of the Policy. Your continued use of a
Site following any changes means you accept and agree to any changes. For your convenience and future reference,
the date of the Privacy Policy is included so that you can compare any different versions of the Privacy Policy to
determine any changes made to the Privacy Policy.

Notice under California Consumer Privacy Act
Last modified January 26, 2026
This Privacy Notice explains, in general, the procedures behind my collection, storage, and process of the

Policy, for the sole purpose of defining rights that California consumers may have with respect to my Sites under the
California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”).
Terms such as “personal information” and “processing” that are defined in the CCPA will have the same definitions
in this Notice as I understand them to have under the CCPA. This includes exceptions to certain terms under the
CCPA. For example, “personal information” under the CCPA does not include publicly available, aggregate
consumer information, or de-identified information.
Personal Information Collected and Purpose:
1. Name, email address, phone number, location/project details, referral information, social media account (optional), and email subscription preference

● Shared With: Third-party service providers as necessary to administer, facilitate, and enhance the provision of my Sites, under agreements that these providers maintain the information confidential.
2. Anonymous website analytics (via Squarespace, Google Analytics, or other tools)

Please note that I reserve the right to request additional information to verify the above, including a form of
government-issued identification. I additionally reserve the right to decline to process requests if you fail to provide
either of the above, if I believe the request will violate any other law or legal requirement, cause the information to
be incorrect, or jeopardize the privacy of others.
Written responses to information requested under this section will be delivered by electronically. I will respond
within 45 calendar days from the day the request is received. If there are extenuating circumstances preventing the
fulfillment of your request, I reserve the right to extend my response due date, if reasonably necessary, and will
notify you of such extension by electronically. If a request is declined, I will provide an explanation as to why. You
have the right to appeal a denial. I will not discriminate against you for exercising any rights available to you under
applicable law.
I additionally reserve the right to modify, or delete some or all of your information collected. In such a case, I will
retain data as reasonably necessary to comply with any legal obligations, including regulatory, security, or dispute
requirements, law enforcement requirements, to prevent fraud or abuse, or to enforce obligations, including any
other requests from you.
To make a request, you’re welcome to contact me at the information provided in my Privacy Policy. You can
designate an agent to make a request on your behalf in one of two ways: (1) having your agent send me a letter,
signed by you, certifying that the agent is acting on your behalf and showing proof that they are registered with the
