What personally identifiable information is collected by be photography?
The types of personal information that we collect from you will depend on the circumstances of collection and on the type of service you request from us. These purposes could include registering to receive e-mail newsletters, requesting further information about our products or services, placing an order or simply asking a question. As we are required by law to obtain your consent to the collection of "sensitive information" we will assume that you have consented to the collection of all information that is provided to us for use in accordance with this Statement, unless you tell us otherwise. There may be occasions when we collect information about you from a third party, for example from people placing an order on your behalf.
