Where a booking is made, relevant personal information provided by the client will be stored for a period of 10 years after the date of the event.

Images
GDPR legislation states that a photograph may contain some form of personal data where they can be processed to allow “the unique identification or authentication of a natural person”. Jordan Chung Photography will never photograph an individual as a means of unique identification or authentication unless contracted to do so. Guests at events, where Jordan Chung Photography has been contracted to capture images, appear in photos taken by Jordan Chung Photography as a part of the documentation of the event. Guests captured in portraits or in group photos do so as part of the event and their rights are protected by Jordan Chung Photography as detailed in this Privacy Policy.
In terms of explicit GDPR compliance, clients and guests are photographed within the parameters of GDPR legislation on the basis of ‘legitimate interests’. The taking of photographs of guests when viewed as a form of processing personal data is necessary for the legitimate interests of Jordan Chung Photography as a photography business unless there is a good reason to protect a given individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests.
Although Jordan Chung Photography aims to operate within the parameters of legitimate interests as laid out in GDPR legislation, there is a disproportionate effort involved in providing Privacy Policy information to all guests at the event. As a result it would distract us from performing our job, rendering it infeasible to do. Booking clients are therefore requested in their contract to direct their guests to read this Privacy Policy in advance of the event and to advise them to contact us in advance with any concerns around the processing of their personal data, namely being photographed.
We may display any photographs to promote Jordan Chung Photography on our website, blog, on social media, on photography related websites, in exhibitions, in advertising, brochures, magazine articles and other such material, providing that the images used are used lawfully and without damage to Jordan Chung Photography’s client(s). The rights of the people captured in these photographs are protected by Jordan Chung Photography as detailed in this Privacy Policy.
Jordan Chung Photography retains the full copyright of any photographs produced. Images captured at events will be retained for a minimum of two (2) years after the date of the event.
Your Right to Access information or Withdraw your Data
Anyone photographed by Jordan Chung Photography, whether a client or guest, and whether past or current may withdraw consent for a photograph in which they appear to be displayed. To do this, email us specifying the exact photograph in question. After the request has been made, Jordan Chung Photography will take the necessary step to remove the image online.
You have the right to contact Jordan Chung Photography at anytime and ask to view the personal information that the business has stored in regards to you. You have the right to ask to have such information to be deleted or removed. If you would like access to your stored data please contact Jordan on our Contact Page
