We may collect information you voluntarily provide through our website, including your name, organization name, email address, telephone number, city, state, approximate enrollment or congregation size, photography interests and the contents of your message.

Our web server and security tools may also collect limited technical information such as an IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, date and time of access, and information used to detect spam, fraud or misuse.

• Provide customer service and assist with portrait orders.
• Send a confirmation or follow-up related to your request.
• Protect the website, prevent spam and troubleshoot technical issues.
• Understand and improve website performance and visitor experience.

We do not sell or rent personal information submitted through this website.

Photography, Ordering and Digital Downloads

Portrait ordering, digital downloads, online directories or other customer services may be provided through separate websites or platforms. Those services may collect information under their own privacy notices and terms. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party service before providing information.

Cookies and Analytics

If enabled, this website may use cookies and Google Analytics to understand general website activity, such as pages visited, approximate location, device information and traffic sources.

Children’s Privacy

The Portrait Cafe provides photography services that may include children; however, this website is intended for parents, guardians, daycare and preschool representatives, church representatives and other adults. We do not knowingly request or collect personal information directly from children under 13 through this website. A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information may contact us to request its review or deletion.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information submitted through the website. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to requests, provide services, meet business and legal obligations, resolve disputes and protect our systems.
