21. DATA RETENTION

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against:
- unauthorized access;

No online service can guarantee absolute security.
If we become aware of a personal-data breach requiring notification under applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to investigate, contain, remediate and notify affected parties and authorities where required.

30. BUSINESS TRANSFERS
If Book A Shoot or its business operations are involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, investment, financing, sale of assets or similar transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law and appropriate privacy protections.
Where required by law, we will provide notice or obtain consent for such transfer.
31. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Depending on the service providers and infrastructure used by Book A Shoot, personal information may be processed or stored in India or other countries.
Where personal information is transferred outside India, we will take steps required under applicable law concerning such processing or transfer.
Third-party providers may operate infrastructure in multiple countries.
Applicable contractual, technical and organizational safeguards may be used to protect personal information during such processing.
32. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Book A Shoot is intended for users who are legally capable of entering into the relevant service relationship.
Users under the applicable age for independent account creation should not create an account or provide personal information without appropriate parental or guardian involvement where required by law.
Because photography services may include:
- baby shoots;
- children's photography;
- family photography;
- school or event photography; and
- other events involving minors,
personal information or photographs of children may be provided by an adult customer for the purpose of arranging a photography service.
The person providing such information is responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary authority and consent to provide and use the child's information.
We do not knowingly use children's personal information for unrelated purposes.
Where applicable law requires verifiable parental consent or additional safeguards for processing children's data, we will apply those requirements.
33. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SERVICES
Book A Shoot may contain links to websites, applications or services operated by third parties.
Examples may include:
- payment services;
- map services;
- social-media platforms;
- service-provider websites;
- communication services; or
- other external services.
This Privacy Policy does not govern the privacy practices of third-party websites or services that we do not control.
You should review the privacy policy of any third-party service before providing personal information to it.
34. APP PERMISSIONS
Depending on the features you use, the Book A Shoot mobile application may request access to certain device capabilities.
These may include:
Camera
Used where necessary to capture photographs or other media for profile, booking, communication or service-related functionality.
Photos / Media
Used where you choose to upload photographs, videos or other media.
Location
Used where necessary for location selection, event location, address functionality or related services.
Notifications
Used to send booking, payment, account and service notifications.
Internet / Network Access
Used to connect the application to Book A Shoot's servers and service providers.
You can manage many permissions through your Android or iOS device settings.
If a permission is not required for a feature you are using, we do not intend to request that permission solely for unrelated purposes.
35. ADVERTISING AND TRACKING
Book A Shoot may use advertising, analytics or marketing technologies where applicable.
If we introduce technologies that involve tracking users across third-party apps or websites, we will implement the permissions, disclosures and controls required by applicable law and platform rules.
On iOS, where Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework applies, we will request the required permission before engaging in tracking covered by Apple's rules.
You may control certain advertising or tracking permissions through your device settings.
36. DO NOT TRACK
Some web browsers provide "Do Not Track" signals.
Because there is currently no universally consistent industry standard for responding to all such signals, Book A Shoot may not respond to every browser-level Do Not Track signal.
Where required by applicable law, we will comply with applicable privacy-choice requirements.
37. DATA ACCURACY
We aim to keep personal information accurate and reasonably up to date.
You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide to Book A Shoot is accurate, complete and current.
You may request correction of inaccurate information through the available account settings or by contacting:
privacy@bookashoot.online
38. USER RESPONSIBILITY FOR SHARED INFORMATION
Book A Shoot is a marketplace platform.
When you voluntarily provide information directly to another user or service provider, including through chat, booking information, phone communication or other interactions, that information may be processed by the recipient independently.
You should therefore avoid sharing information that is unnecessary for the service.
You are responsible for considering what information you choose to disclose directly to another user or service provider.
39. AUTOMATED MATCHING AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Book A Shoot may use technology to help match customer requirements with service providers.
Matching may consider information such as:
- event date;
- event time;
- location;
- event category;
- selected services;
- budget;
- availability;
- service categories;
- service preferences; and
- other booking-related requirements.
Automated matching is intended to assist discovery and does not guarantee that a service provider will accept a booking or that a particular service provider will be available.
40. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect:
- changes to our services;
- new features;
- changes in technology;
- changes in data-processing practices;
- changes in applicable law;
- regulatory requirements; or
- improvements to our privacy practices.
When we update this Privacy Policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date.
Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent before implementing material changes.
