This privacy policy sets out how Bracket Photography handles your personal information. We do our best to comply with Australian privacy legislation.

We collect, hold, use, and disclose personal information for the purpose of letting you know about our products and services. You may receive updates from us from time to time. We do not sell or give away access to the personal information you provide to us.

Staying Anonymous

You can browse this website anonymously. If you identify yourself to us, at that point we will collect your personal information.

Collecting Personal Information

At all times we try to only collect the information we need to keep you updated about our progress.

The main way we collect personal information about you is when you give it to us, for example:

• when you contact us
• when you submit information to our website
• when you ask for access to information we hold about you

You agree that we may retain any of your personal information indefinitely, although we are not obliged to do so.

If you provide us with a testimonial, you give us your consent for the use of your name and the date to be displayed on our website or in our other marketing material, together with the content of the testimonial that you provide.

Indirect Collection

We only collect information directly from you.

Social Networking Services and Links to Other Websites

We may provide links to other websites or use social networking services such as Twitter and Facebook to communicate with the public about our work. These sites have their own privacy policies. When you communicate with us using these services we may collect your personal information. We will only use it to help us to communicate with you and the public. The social networking service will also handle your personal information for its own purposes.

Collecting Sensitive Information

We do not actively collect sensitive information about you, including information about your health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or criminal history. We will take steps to appropriately protect any sensitive information we do receive.
