2 How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information strictly for legitimate business and artistic delivery purposes, including:

• Confirming event bookings, scheduling crew assignments, and organizing equipment logistics.
• Editing, color-grading, retouching, and assembling photographs, cinematic teasers, and wedding albums.
• Communicating schedule updates, quotation breakdowns, delivery links, and customer support.
• Sending event proofs for client selection, album feedback, and final delivery notifications.
• Complying with statutory accounting and tax regulations in India (GST/invoicing).

3 Photography & Media Rights

Photography is an expressive, visual art form. As a standard industry practice:

• Copyright Ownership: In accordance with the Indian Copyright Act, 1957, Ram Photography retains original authorship and artistic copyright of photographs and cinematography produced by our team.
• Client Usage License: Clients receive a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free personal usage license allowing you and your family to print, share, upload to personal social media accounts, and cherish your moments without restriction.
• Portfolio Highlights: Selected cinematic shots or wedding highlights may be featured on our official website gallery, Instagram (@ramphotography91), and YouTube channel to demonstrate our artistic craftsmanship to prospective couples.

4 Client Consent & Privacy Discretion

We deeply respect that some celebrations and intimate ceremonies are deeply private. We offer complete discretion for our clients:

If you have previously consented but later wish to have a specific image or clip removed from our website or social media channels, please email us at ram@photography.com with the image reference, and our team will promptly take it down.

5 Data Storage & Retention

We follow structured workflows for handling, delivering, and archiving client media:

• Online Preview Galleries: Digital preview and selection galleries are hosted on private, password-protected cloud drives for an agreed period (typically 60 to 90 days after delivery).
• Raw Footage Archival: Due to heavy data volume (several terabytes per multi-day wedding), raw camera files and unedited footage are preserved for a minimum of 60 days after final delivery. We strongly advise clients to download and keep duplicate offline backups on external hard drives upon receiving their files.
• Customer Records: Booking agreements, payment receipts, and contact records are retained for auditing and legal accounting compliance under Indian laws.

6 Third-Party Sharing

We only share client information with trusted partners necessary to fulfill our photography services:

• Professional Album Printers: Premium photo album printing labs in Hyderabad to print physical photo books and flush-mount albums.
• Cloud Infrastructure Providers: Secure cloud storage solutions (Google Drive, Dropbox, AWS) to facilitate digital file transfers and gallery links.
• Government or Legal Authorities: Disclosed only if strictly required by Indian statutory authorities or court orders.
