At Bossfotos (www.bossfotos.com), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our services.
1. Information We Collect
- Event photographs: Our photographers capture images at events. These photos may be available for download or purchase via our platform.
- Facial recognition indexing: We use Amazon Web Services (AWS) technology to index faces within event galleries, so participants can later find their photos.
- Selfies for search: Participants may upload a selfie to locate their event photos. This selfie is processed transiently and deleted immediately after matching.
- Service-related communications: If you contact us with a query, we may use your email address to respond.
- Technical data: We may collect information about your device (e.g., browser type, IP address, referral URL, site usage statistics) for analytics and security.
- Payments: Payment details are processed securely through third-party payment providers; we do not store full credit card numbers.
2. How We Use Information
- To enable participants to find and access their event photos.
- To process transactions and deliver purchased or downloaded images.
- To provide customer support and respond to enquiries.
- To improve our website and services through analytics.
- To provide organisers with aggregated, non-identifiable statistics (e.g., total photo downloads or sales). .
3. Facial Recognition & Photo Indexing
- All faces in event galleries are automatically indexed by AWS Rekognition to allow search.
- Selfies are not stored; they are used only to create a temporary “face signature” for matching.
- No names, contact details, or other identifiers are linked to face data.
- Indexed event data is retained only for the life of the gallery (or as agreed with the organiser) and then securely deleted.
4. Third-Party Services
We use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide facial recognition. AWS processes images on our behalf and does not own or use the data for unrelated purposes. We also use secure payment providers to handle transactions.
5. International Standards
Our privacy practices are designed in line with leading international standards, such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This means we prioritise transparency, data minimisation, and respect for participant rights, even if local law does not require it.
6. Cookies & Tracking
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve performance, understand usage patterns, and enhance the participant experience. You may adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, though this may limit site functionality.
7. Your Rights
- By uploading a selfie, you consent to the processing described in this Policy.
- You may request deletion of your personal data (including photos you purchased) by contacting us at info@bossfotos.com.
- You may request access to information we hold about you.
8. Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date of the most recent revision will appear at the top of this page.
