Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
This website is operated for Zone 5 Photo Studios, Inc. ("Zone 5", "we", "us"), a photo studio located at 31 Hereford St, Project 8, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), Zone 5 is the personal information controller for personal data it collects directly.
2. Information this website collects
This is a simple informational website. It has no user accounts, no online payments and no server-side form processing.
- Booking request page. The booking request page asks for your session type, preferred dates, name and mobile number, and optional details such as your school or occasion and notes. This information is processed only inside your browser to build a message. The website does not send it to us, does not save it, and it is gone when you close or reload the page. It reaches Zone 5 only if you choose to copy the message and send it to us yourself, for example through Facebook Messenger (see section 4).
- Device storage for your embed choices. If you tick "Remember my choice on this device" before loading
the Facebook feed or the map, the website saves a small value in your browser's local storage
(
z5-embed-facebookorz5-embed-map). It stays on your device and is not sent to us. You can clear it at any time using "Reset embed choices" in the site footer. - Server and hosting logs. Like most websites, the hosting provider may automatically record technical information such as IP address, browser type, pages requested and time of access for security and reliability. [Hosting provider name and log retention period to be confirmed]
- Analytics. This website does not currently use analytics or advertising trackers. If that changes, this policy and the Cookie Policy will be updated first.
3. Third-party services and embedded content
Some features rely on other companies. Each one has its own privacy policy, and we do not control how they process data.
- Google Fonts (Google LLC): fonts are loaded from Google's servers when you open the site, which shares your IP address and browser details with Google. Google Privacy Policy.
- Facebook Page feed and gallery videos (Meta Platforms): loaded only after you click "Load feed" or "Load videos". Gallery photos are hosted on this website and do not load anything from Facebook. Once loaded, Meta may set cookies, recognise you if you are logged in to Facebook, and collect usage data. Meta Privacy Policy.
- Google Maps (Google LLC): loaded only after you click "Load map". Google may set cookies and collect location and usage data.
- Outbound links to Facebook, Messenger and Google Maps take you to those services, where their own terms and privacy policies apply.
4. When you contact us
If you call us or message us on Facebook Messenger, including by sending a message prepared on our booking request page, we will receive the information you choose to share, such as your name, mobile number, Facebook profile, and details about the session you want to book. Messages sent through Messenger are also processed by Meta under its own policies.
[Zone 5 to describe how inquiry and booking information, client photographs and any identification are collected, stored and shared in the studio's day-to-day operations.]
5. How information is used
Information you share with us is used to respond to inquiries, schedule and deliver photo sessions, and keep records required by law. We do not sell personal information. [Confirm and list any other purposes, e.g. using client photos in marketing only with written consent.]
6. Retention and protection
We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law. [Insert retention periods and the organisational, physical and technical safeguards actually in place.] No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
7. Your rights
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to:
- be informed about how your personal data is processed;
- access your personal data;
