HOW DO I KNOW MY PERSONAL INFORMATION IS SECURE?

The security of your personal information is important to us.

While we implement the above security measures on this site, you should be aware that 100% security is not always possible. We do our best to provide you with a safe experience. Photoshots restricts employee access to the databases that contain personal data, and employees are advised of the importance of confidentiality.

When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers) on our website, Photoshots does not store any Credit Card details.

The processing of all card payments via the Fine Art Print Gallery and School / Event Purchase & Download sections are handled by Queensberry Ltd.  You can find their privacy policy here: https://www.queensberry.com/online-privacy-policy.

Queensberry does not store credit card details either and uses Stripe for credit card processing. You can find the Stripe privacy policy here: https://stripe.com/en-nz/privacy

PHOTOGRAPHS & DISPLAY GALLERIES

Where we are asked to photograph at schools, kindergartens, sports clubs or other organisations with minors, it will be standard practise to provide proofing photos online with password protection. Any related online web gallery will be provided as part of www.photoshots.co.nz, with IT and print lab operations supported by Queensberry Ltd, based in Auckland, New Zealand.

Password details may be provided at the time of photography to known associates of the organisation being photographed (ie teachers, coaches, parents etc). Post event, password & access details will only ever be provided to a sole representative of the organisation who has asked for photographs. This will be disseminated at their discretion within their respective community. Photoshots will not provide gallery passwords by email or phone to unverified enquiries. In the event an enquiry is made directly to Photoshots, details may be provided where that enquirer is already known to Photoshots, or has an established sales history.

Photoshots will work with all client organisations to respect any known protection order or privacy concern, as it may relate to any individual or group. Any privacy concern is best established prior to photography. If not known prior, ideally this is made known to Photoshots before any gallery details are shared with the respective community. Options can be explored to facilitate separate access for such content where a genuine need has been established.

In the event any individual may request the removal of an individual photo, this will be accommodated. In the event any individual may request the removal of a group photo, this will be accommodated where practical based on general consideration to all others, after consultation with the organisation / group concerned. There are various levels of password & gallery protection available. The best approach will be determined in conjunction with each organisation. The outcome will be a balance of privacy, administration workload (either by Photoshots and/or the oganisation in question), which may also have some affect on the cost of goods sold.

NZIPP / AIPA Standard Photographic Terms and Conditions of Engagement will apply for all photographic jobs. These terms can be referenced at the footer at www.photoshots.co.nz. This covers the ability by Tony Stewart or Photoshots to use imagery for the purpose of self promotion, and to provide imagery to each organisation for archival use. In the event images are used for self promotion by Tony Stewart or Photoshots, there will be an honest attempt to minimise any associated identifying details such as names.

Photoshots and Tony Stewart use the NZIPP / AIPA Standard Photographic Terms and Conditions of Engagement for all photographic undertakings. Subsequently Photoshots and Tony Stewart both elect to contract out the 1994 Copyright Act, and neither accepts photographic commissions. Image files are provided to all clients under license. License terms can be viewed within the metadata embedded with all files.
