Your trust matters to us. This policy explains what information Arrcor Studio collects, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Last Updated: October 30, 2026

1. Who We Are

Arrcor Studio is a creative photography and media studio serving the DMV area (Maryland, Washington DC and Virginia) and clients worldwide for digital projects. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect personal information when you visit arrcor.studio, contact us, book our services, use our client gallery services, subscribe to updates, or receive SMS notifications from us.

By using our website or services, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide to us

  • Contact and booking details such as your name, company, email address, phone number, event details and the content of your messages.
  • Client gallery information such as your name, event date, event location and gallery access code when you use our Find My Album service.
  • Mobile number and SMS consent if you choose to receive text message notifications.
  • Newsletter sign-ups, including your email address.

Information collected automatically

  • Technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and the date and time of your visit.
  • Security and anti-spam signals used to protect our forms and gallery access system from abuse.

Model program applications
If you apply to our model program, we collect the details you submit, including your name, contact information, city, social media or portfolio link, availability, the photos you upload and your answers about photo use. We use this information only to review your application and to contact you about possible shoots. Applications are kept private, shared only with Arrcor Studio photographers involved in planning a shoot, and applications that are not selected are deleted within 6 months. You can ask us to delete your application at any time by emailing hello@arrcor.studio. If you are selected, how your photos may be used is set out in the model release you sign before the shoot.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your enquiries and provide quotes, bookings and our photography, video and creative services.
  • Create, manage and provide secure access to your client gallery.
  • Send service-related communications, including gallery notifications if you have opted in.
  • Send newsletters and updates if you have subscribed. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • Maintain the security of our website, prevent fraud and spam, and troubleshoot technical issues.
  • Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it.
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

4. Cookies & Analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working properly, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used.

  • Analytics: we use Google Analytics to see, in aggregate, which pages are visited and how people find our site.
  • Spam and security protection: our forms use services such as Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile to tell real visitors apart from automated abuse. These services are subject to their providers’ own privacy policies.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the website work.

5. SMS Communications

If you provide your mobile phone number and voluntarily opt in to SMS communications, Arrcor Studio may send you service-related text messages. These may include notifications that your photo gallery is ready, gallery access has been approved, your gallery has been updated, or gallery access is approaching expiration.

SMS consent is optional and is not a condition of purchasing goods or services. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP to opt out of SMS messages or HELP for assistance.

SMS Privacy: Mobile information, including phone numbers and SMS consent information, will not be sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. We may share information with service providers only as necessary to operate our communications and provide requested services. SMS opt-in consent will not be shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers that help us run our business, such as website hosting, email delivery, SMS delivery, analytics, security, and gallery hosting or file delivery platforms. They may use your information only to provide services to us.
  • Legal requirements, when required by law or to protect the rights, safety and property of Arrcor Studio, our clients or others.
  • Business changes, in connection with a merger, sale or transfer of our business, subject to this policy.
  • With your consent, or at your direction.

7. Your Photos & Images

Images we create for you are stored securely and delivered through private, access-controlled galleries or secure download links. Gallery links and access codes are intended only for you and the people you choose to share them with.

Any use of client images on our website, portfolio or social media is handled in line with your client agreement. If you have questions or would like an image removed from our portfolio, please contact us.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access-controlled galleries and spam protection on our forms. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain business and tax records, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. Client galleries may be available for a limited time, as communicated to you, after which access may expire.

10. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
  • Ask us to delete your personal information, subject to legal and business requirements.
  • Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in our emails.
  • Stop SMS messages at any time by replying STOP.

To make a request, please contact us. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

Our website and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through our website. Images of minors are created only at the request of, and in coordination with, a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites and services, including externally hosted client galleries and social media platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those services, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
