Aggregated and Analytical Information
We use standard analytics tools. The privacy practices of these tools are subject to their own privacy policies, and they use their own cookies to provide their service (for further information about cookies, please see our Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies Policy).
We use the standard analytics tools of Mixpanel, and we will use additional or other analytics tools, from time to time, to learn about how you and other visitors use the Services, in support of the Services-related activities and operations.
The privacy practices of these tools are subject to their own privacy policies. See Mixpanel Privacy Statement at: https://mixpanel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
We use anonymous, statistical, or aggregated information and will share it with our affiliates for legitimate business purposes. It has no effect on your privacy, because there is no reasonable way to extract data from the aggregated information that we or others can associate specifically to you.
Your Choice
We will give you choices about the ways we use and share personal data related to you, and we will respect the choices you make.
We may send newsletters or promotional communications to our users. To unsubscribe to these communications, you will be required to click an “Unsubscribe” link in these emails and confirm the email address for which you would like to unsubscribe.
We collect and receive personal data related to you that we need for the purposes described in this policy. You can stop using the Service at any time, thereafter we will stop collecting personal data related to you. However, we will store and continue to use or make available certain personal data related to you as detailed herein, e.g., due to the automated nature of our photography systems (more on that specifically, see below).
You can request that your account with us be terminated, and that personal data related to you be deleted by contacting us. Any termination of your account will involve deletion of your account information from our live databases and all the information and data (including the digital media) stored for the account in the service. When we process personal data related to an individual who is our customer’s customer, we handle the deletion request in collaboration and discussions with our customer.
You can request a copy of the personal data related to you that we store about you by contacting us.
When we delete personal data related to you that we have collected from or about you, it will be deleted from our active databases, but we will keep a reasonable number of copies in our archives. Although we will deactivate your account, we will continue to retain the personal data related to you for legitimate business purposes as set forth above.
We understand that some individuals can not wish for us to process personal data related to them in any form. Due to the automated nature of our photography systems, it is not possible for us to offer to not capture the likeness of the individual. In these circumstances, where an image has been captured but you do not wish for us to retain your photograph, you can speak to any member of our staff, and we will remove your images from our system. You can still purchase a physical print prior to enacting this feature. Once an image is removed, the deletion is permanent and the image cannot be recovered, even by us.
Post capture, your image will be uploaded to our cloud platform where the initial stages of processing will be applied, which include compositing and image adjustment. Your media will be automatically deleted up to 90 days of capture, and as of September 1st, 2024, for venues located in the United Kingdom and Europe. However, starting from September 1st, 2024, for venues in the United Kingdom and Europe, and from October 1st, 2024, for venues in the USA, the retention period will be reduced to 45 days. If you visit Paultons Park, your media will be deleted after 45 days, effective January 1st, 2025 (and prior to that date, within 90 days).
Some venues may have shorter retention periods due to agreements with our customers, applicable laws, or technical issues, resulting in earlier deletion of digital media.
To ensure you retain access to your desired media, we strongly recommend purchasing and downloading any media promptly after completing your purchase.
