This privacy policy explains how First Light Birth Photography collects, uses, and protects your personal information. We take your privacy seriously and handle your data in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.
What We Collect
First Light collects very little personal information. Here is what we may hold and why:
Contact form submissions: If you email us or use a contact form, we receive your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to your enquiry.
Analytics data: We use basic website analytics to understand how people find and use this site. This may include your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This data is aggregated and not used to identify individual visitors.
Cookies: This site uses a small number of cookies for basic functionality and analytics. These are standard technical cookies -- we do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.
How We Use Your Information
Any personal information we collect is used only for the purpose it was provided. Specifically:
- Email addresses are used to respond to your message and are not added to any mailing list unless you specifically subscribe
- Analytics data helps us understand which content is useful and where readers come from, so we can improve the site
- We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties
Data Storage and Security
Contact form data is stored securely on our hosting servers. We retain enquiry emails for a reasonable period to allow for follow-up, after which they are deleted. Analytics data is processed by our analytics provider and retained according to their standard policies.
Your Rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to:
- Request access to any personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct any inaccurate information
- Request that we delete your personal information
To make any of these requests, contact us at hello@firstlightbirthphotography.co.nz.
Third-Party Services
This site uses third-party services for hosting, analytics, and font delivery. These services may process limited technical data (such as IP addresses) as part of their normal operation. We choose providers with reasonable privacy practices, but we encourage you to review their individual privacy policies if you have concerns.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. If you have questions about our privacy practices, please get in touch.
