Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 10, 2026

Adam Martin Photography LLC (“Adam Martin Photography”, “we”, “us”) collects only the information needed to fulfill orders and answer messages. We do not sell personal information or share it for marketing.

This site runs no analytics of its own and sets no tracking cookies. The map on the Explore page is provided by Mapbox. When the map loads, Mapbox collects its own usage data, such as IP address and map interactions, under Mapbox's privacy policy.

Information we collect

Orders: name, email address, phone number and shipping address, entered on Stripe's secure checkout page. Card details are handled by Stripe and never reach our servers.
Contact form: name, email address and message, plus company and phone number if provided. Messages are sent by email and are not stored in the site's database.

How we use information

To make and ship orders
To send order confirmations and shipping updates
To keep tax and business records
To reply to messages

Service providers

Each provider receives only the information needed for its service:

Stripe processes payments and calculates sales tax.
Bay Photo Lab, our printing lab, receives the buyer's name, shipping address and phone number to print and ship the order.
Amazon SES sends the site's email, including order confirmations and contact form messages.
Google Workspace (Gmail) hosts our email. Contact form messages and order notifications arrive there, and shipping updates and replies are sent from it.
Cloudinary hosts and delivers the site's photographs.
Amazon Web Services hosts the site, its order records and their backups.
Mapbox provides the map on the Explore page.

Cookies

The site sets only the cookies it needs to work. None are used for tracking or advertising.

amp_cart stores the prints in the cart. It is set only when a print is added, and expires 30 days after the cart was last viewed or changed.
An antiforgery cookie protects the site's forms (cart, checkout and contact) against cross-site request forgery. It is a session cookie with no expiry date.
A temporary notice cookie carries a one-time message, such as a confirmation that a print was added to the cart, to the next page. It is removed once the message is shown.

The site encrypts the contents of all three cookies. The Explore map, provided by Mapbox, may store its own data in the browser.

Information retention

Order records: kept as long as required for tax records.
Edition register: for each numbered print, we permanently record the buyer's name and edition number.
Contact form messages: not stored by the site. They remain in our email until deleted.
Database backups: made nightly and deleted automatically after 30 days.
Server snapshots: made daily and kept for 7 days.

Your requests

To request access to, correction of or deletion of your information, email adam@adammartinphotography.com from the address used with us, so the request can be confirmed.
Contact form messages are deleted on request.
Order details are removed once they are no longer needed for tax records. The edition register keeps the buyer's name and edition number for each numbered print.
Backups are not edited. Deleted information leaves them as they expire, within 30 days.

If this policy changes, this page and its date will be updated.
