Plain-language notice

Privacy Notice

Effective draft: September 9, 2026

Information collected

LENS collects the information you submit, including name, email, festival date, photograph reference, electronic signature, consent choices, guardian information, ratings, stories, and coverage requests.

How it is used

Information is used to locate festival images, manage gallery alerts, document permissions, fulfill requests and purchases, moderate stories, improve the experience, and send optional marketing only when selected.

Website visits

We use a random, short-lived identifier in your browser tab to measure website visits, pages opened and Carrier Pigeon registrations. A visit lasts up to 30 minutes. If you register during that visit, its activity can be linked to the customer information you provide. Anonymous visits do not reveal your name. We do not use device fingerprinting, and this measurement respects your browser’s Do Not Track setting.

Choice and separation

A gallery-ready alert is separate from ongoing marketing. Promotional image permission is also separate. Optional boxes are not required to locate or purchase photographs.

Children

Children should not submit information directly. A parent or legal guardian must complete the form for a minor.

Retention and protection

LENS keeps consent records as needed to document permissions and keeps other information only as reasonably necessary for the stated purpose, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and security. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no online system can promise absolute security.

Adult boudoir and intimate sessions

When a session includes boudoir, lingerie, implied nudity, or nudity, LENS requires a government-issued photo ID to verify identity and adult status. The identification copy is stored separately in restricted, owner-only records, is not placed in the client gallery, and is used only to document identity, age, consent, and related legal records. Access is limited and the record is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes.

Your requests

You may ask to correct contact information, stop optional marketing, or withdraw future optional promotional use. Requests will be verified before changes are made.
