Who We Are
Please refer to the legal mentions on our website.
Use of Collected Personal Data
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer or mobile device and retrieved during subsequent visits. We use these cookies to make your browsing experience simpler and more enjoyable. We do not use cookies to store personal information about you or to share information with third parties.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may be offered the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to enter this information again when leaving another comment later. These cookies expire after one year.
When editing or publishing a post, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data; it simply indicates the ID of the post you just edited. It expires after one day.
You can easily delete cookies from your computer or mobile device using your browser. For instructions on managing and deleting cookies, please refer to your browser’s help section. According to your preferences, you can disable cookies or request to be notified each time a new cookie is sent to your computer or device. Please note that disabling cookies may prevent you from using all features of our site.
Comments
When you leave a comment on our website, the data entered in the comment form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent, are collected to help detect spam comments.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible publicly next to your comment.
Media
If you are a registered user and upload images to the website, we recommend avoiding images containing GPS EXIF data. Visitors to your site may download and extract location data from these images.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited that other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with that embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Statistics and Audience Measurement
To track our audience, we use third-party cookies to collect aggregate statistics in analytics tools such as Google Analytics.
Use and Sharing of Your Personal Data

Data Retention Periods
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows automatic recognition and approval of follow-up comments instead of holding them in moderation.
For users who register on our site (if available), we also store the personal information provided in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Site administrators can also see and edit this information. Your data will be retained as long as legally allowed.
Your Rights Regarding Your Data
You have the right to request information about the personal data we hold about you at any time (free of charge, once per year). If your data is inaccurate, incomplete, or irrelevant, you can request corrections or deletion. We may not be able to delete your data if retention is legally required (e.g., accounting rules) or for other legitimate reasons (e.g., unpaid debts). You can withdraw your consent for us to use your personal data for commercial purposes at any time. Please contact us by sending a letter to EI Marie Calfopoulos Photography, 575 rue de l’étang, 84100 ORANGE, France, or by email at contact@mariecalfopoulos.com.
Verification of Personal Data
Visitor comments may be checked using an automated spam detection service.
Contact Information
When contacting us via email or through a contact form on our website, we collect personal data (name, first name, email, phone number, address, information about your relatives, and other miscellaneous information). This data is used to respond to quote requests and answer your questions. It is also used to provide services according to your requests during the photography session.
Access to Your Personal Data
We do not share, sell, or exchange your personal data with third parties for commercial purposes outside our own company. Data provided to third parties—for example, shipping agents such as La Poste for delivery, media agencies for newsletter distribution (MailChimp), and debt collection agencies for identity verification or credit checks—is used solely to provide the requested services.
Security
How We Protect Your Data
We are committed to protecting your data. We have implemented technical and organizational measures to prevent loss, tampering, and unauthorized access. We continuously update these security measures to keep up with technological developments.
We secure all card payments by transmitting information in encrypted form. This ensures that information is sent over a secure connection and your personal data cannot be read by third parties. For card payments, we work with an authorized payment processor to verify your card’s validity directly with your bank. Your financial information is handled with the highest security standards. We reserve the right to verify your identity when you pay by card.
Procedures in Case of Data Breach
In the event of a data breach caused by website hacking or theft of files in our possession, we commit to filing a complaint with the police and enhancing the security of our website and files to stop the breach and prevent recurrence.
