8. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, or misuse.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

The Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act provides certain privacy rights to qualifying Indiana consumers, subject to statutory requirements, thresholds, exemptions, and exceptions.

Where applicable, we will honor rights provided under Indiana law.

11. Residents of Other States

Because our website may be accessible to customers throughout the United States, privacy laws of other states may apply depending on factors such as your state of residence, our activities, the volume of personal information we process, and applicable statutory thresholds.

Where applicable, we will provide rights and disclosures required by the privacy laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside.

13. Authorized Agents

Where permitted by applicable law, you may authorize another person to submit a privacy request on your behalf.

We may require appropriate verification that the person submitting the request is authorized to act on your behalf.

14. Do Not Track

Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting.

Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to browser-based Do Not Track signals, our website may not respond to such signals unless required by applicable law.

15. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, social-media platforms, payment providers, or other services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites or services.

Privacy protections in those jurisdictions may differ from those in your country or region.

17. Photographs and Image Files

Photography is the primary business purpose of our website.

Images displayed on our website are generally owned or licensed by us and may be protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws.

When you purchase a print or other photographic product, your purchase does not transfer copyright or ownership of the underlying photograph unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing.

If you provide an image to us for an order, inquiry, or other business purpose, we will use that image only as reasonably necessary to provide the requested service, subject to our agreements with you and applicable law.

Where an image contains identifiable individuals or other personal information, we may process that image as necessary to provide the requested product or service.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our business, website, services, technology, legal requirements, or privacy practices.
