SECURITY & PRIVACY
Your session, kept private.
A booking holds personal details — your name, your address, when you are away from home. This page explains exactly what we keep, who can see it, and how it is protected. Written plainly, without the usual fog.
What we collect
Only what a session or a commission actually needs: your name, email, phone, the address where we are shooting, your date and time, any notes or reference images you choose to send, and the record of what you have paid.
How your booking is protected
Your booking and invoice records are sealed at the database level. A request for them is checked against your identity before a single field is returned: your records open only for the email on the booking, or for the studio owner. Everyone else, including anyone who guesses a link, sees nothing. This protection is applied on the server, so it holds even if someone bypasses the site entirely.
Inquiries and messages
Contact messages, film and brand inquiries, and reschedule requests are write-only from the outside. Anyone can send one; only the studio can read, change or delete them. Nothing you send through a form is visible to another visitor.
Payments
Card payments are handled entirely by Stripe. Your card number never reaches our servers and is never stored by us. We keep only the confirmation that a payment succeeded, its amount and its date, so your portal and receipts stay accurate. Card payment is the only method offered — no pay-later, no installment plans.
Who else touches your information
Three services, each doing one job: Stripe for card payments, Google Calendar so your session appears on the studio schedule, and our SMS provider for appointment texts. They receive only the details needed for that job, and your records are never sold, rented or shared for advertising.
YOUR PRIVATE PORTAL LINK
Your portal link contains a long random code rather than a password. Treat it the way you would treat a house key: anyone holding it can open your booking. Save it, and ask us for a fresh one if you ever lose it or believe it has been seen. No one at MARE needs it from you, and we will never ask for it over the phone.
Your choices
You can ask us what we hold about you, ask for a correction, or ask us to delete anything we are not required to keep for tax or accounting purposes. Write to us and we will action it.
