Privacy policy
Last updated: 3 October 2026. This page explains what we do with your personal data when you contact us, book a photoshoot, or simply read this site.
Who we are
This site is run by Amsterdam Photographer, part of the tripotographer team of city photographers. We are the data controller for everything described here.
You can reach us through the enquiry form on any page or on Instagram at @tripotographer.amsterdam.
What we collect
When you send an enquiry through the form, on WhatsApp or on Instagram, we collect what you give us: your name, email address, phone or WhatsApp number, your dates in Amsterdam, the session you want, and anything you write in the message.
When you book, we also process what is needed to run the session and take payment: a meeting point and time, and the payment reference for the deposit. Card numbers never reach us; payments are handled by the payment provider.
When you simply read the site, we collect analytics data only if you accept analytics cookies. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, including IP addresses, for security and troubleshooting.
Why we use it, and on what legal basis
- To answer your enquiry and run your session, because it is necessary to take steps at your request and to perform our agreement with you.
- To send you your gallery and talk to you about your booking, on the same basis.
- To keep accounting records, because we have a legal obligation to.
- To measure how the site is used, only with your consent, which you give or refuse in the cookie banner and can change at any time.
- To show our work, as described in the section on photographs below.
Photographs from your session
Your photographs are personal data, and we treat them that way. We never publish client names.
We sometimes share favourite frames from sessions on this site and on Instagram. If you prefer your photographs never to appear anywhere, choose the privacy option when you book. If you change your mind later, write to us and we will take them down; we cannot recall copies other people have already saved or reshared.
Proposal and surprise sessions are never published before the surprise has happened.
Who else sees your data
- our web host, who runs this site;
- Google, for analytics if you have accepted analytics cookies;
- Meta, if you choose to write to us on WhatsApp or Instagram, under their own terms;
- the provider of our online client galleries;
- our payment provider, for the deposit and any balance paid in advance;
- our accountant, for the records we are legally required to keep.
We do not sell your data, and we do not pass it to anyone for their own marketing.
Where your data goes
Some of the providers above are based outside the European Economic Area, so data you send us may be processed outside the EEA. Where EU law requires a safeguard for that transfer, we rely on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision, depending on the provider.
How long we keep it
- Enquiries that do not become bookings: up to 12 months, then deleted.
- Booking correspondence: up to 24 months after the session.
- Your online gallery: two months after delivery, so please download your photographs.
- Accounting records: as long as tax law requires.
- Analytics data: retained by Google for 14 months.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask us for a copy of the data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, restrict what we do with it, object to processing based on our legitimate interests, and ask for your data in a portable form. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
Write to us through the enquiry form and we will answer within one month. You can also complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl), or to the authority in the country you live in.
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies. Analytics cookies only run if you accept them, and you can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings.
Changes to this page
If we change how we handle your data, we will update this page and the date at the top.
