We will not intentionally share your information with any unaffiliated third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to respond to your emails or questions. We use third parties to maintain and store your information and to process any payment you make to us.

  • Generally, these third parties are required not to use your information other than to provide the services requested by Lana Ortiz Photography.

We also may include clear GIFs in some of our email messages in order to learn whether the messages are delivered and opened.

    Certain third party Third Party Sites may also collect similar data. Please consult their privacy policies regarding their use of your information. Certain of these services collect data from you as part of the registration process, through your volunteering information when you interact with their services and by combining data with other information you have provided to such services at other times. These sites have privacy policies which are in addition to this privacy statement.

  • Certain of these third party Third Party Sites permit you to adjust your user settings to permit certain choices by you about your Personal Information. These choices may be limited by the third party provider and the third party provider will typically not guarantee that once your information has been disclosed to them or posted to their website it can be removed from all locations where it may be stored. PLEASE USE THIRD PARTY SERVICES CAREFULLY. In addition, please be aware that third parties, including advertising servers, advertising networks, may set cookies or use other means of passively collecting information about your use of their services. We do not have access to, or control over, these cookies or other means of passive data collection.

This Privacy Statement does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or websites or Third Party Third Party Sites.

    If our organization or our assets are acquired by another organization, that organization will possess the information collected by us and we will endeavor to have it assume the rights and obligations regarding your information as described in this Privacy Statement.

    SECURITY

    We have secured Personal Information only to the extent of the security systems provided by our third party hosting service. We have required that our third party hosting service use reasonable security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of Personal Information. We take certain precautions to protect the information of registered users. Wherever we collect information that we deem is sensitive (such as account information and credit card information), we will deploy a secure sockets link (SSL) or other encryption technologies to transmit that data from a user’s computer to the servers of our third party hosting service providers’ servers in a more secure way. You can verify whether we are using SSL or other data security by looking for a closed lock icon on your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page. We may not use SSL or other encryption to collect your name, address, phone number or email address for routine information requests about our activities. Although we make good faith efforts to maintain the security of such Personal Information, we cannot guarantee that it will remain free from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or alteration.

  • Further, while we work hard to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent “hackers” or other unauthorized persons from illegally accessing or obtaining this information. We do not assume any liability to third parties for your use of our website or for information about others you include in your profile or contacts. Please keep your password and login credentials secure.

    If we learn of a security breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the Lana Ortiz Photography Website or providing Personal Information to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of our website. If a security systems breach occurs, Lana Ortiz Photography may post a notice on our homepage or elsewhere on our website and may send email to you at the email address you have provided to us.
