Privacy & cookies

I value your privacy. This page explains what happens to the details you share with me through this website, in plain words.

Who I am

This website is run by Yana Lohokha, a wedding photographer based in Marbella, Spain. I am responsible for the personal data you send through it. You can reach me at yanalohokha.ph@gmail.com or on WhatsApp at +34 685 051 126.

What I collect

When you send an enquiry I receive what you type into the form: your names, email address, phone number, wedding date, venue or area, how you found me and your message.

Together with it, the website records a few technical details: the page you sent it from, how you arrived (for example the name of an ad campaign or a click ID from Google or Meta), your browser language and time zone, your IP address and browser type. I use these to keep the form free of spam and to understand which of my ads actually bring couples to me.

Why I use it

  • To reply to you and prepare a quote, because you asked me to. The legal basis is taking steps at your request before a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
  • To protect the form from spam and abuse, based on my legitimate interest in a secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
  • To measure my advertising, only if you accept advertising cookies (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw that consent at any time.
  • If you book, to carry out our contract and to meet my legal obligations, for example tax and accounting rules.

Who receives it

I never sell your data or share it with anyone for their own marketing. To run this website I use a few service providers that handle data on my behalf:

  • my web hosting, on a server in the Netherlands (EU);
  • Cloudflare, which delivers the website quickly and protects it from attacks;
  • Resend, which delivers the enquiry to my email inbox, and Google (Gmail), where I receive it;
  • Telegram, which notifies me on my phone so I can reply quickly.

Only if you accept advertising cookies: Google (Google Ads) and Meta (Facebook and Instagram) receive information about your visit to measure my ads.

Some of these companies are based outside the European Union. Where that is the case, your data is protected by the safeguards the GDPR requires, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

How long I keep it

I keep your enquiry for as long as we are in touch about your wedding. If you don’t book, it is deleted automatically after two years, or sooner if you ask me. If you book, I keep what our contract and Spanish tax law require, and only for as long as they require it.

Your rights

You can ask me to see the data I hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to limit how I use it, or to send it to you in a common format. You can also object to how I use it and withdraw any consent you gave. Just write to me at yanalohokha.ph@gmail.com. If you think I haven’t handled your data properly, you can complain to the Spanish data protection authority, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos.

Cookies and similar technologies

Necessary (always on). This website remembers your cookie choice, and if your enquiry can’t be sent straight away (for example when you lose your connection), it keeps it on your device until it is delivered, for up to 30 days. It also remembers for the current visit how you arrived, so it can be sent along with your enquiry. All of this stays in your own browser.

Advertising (only if you accept). Google Ads and the Meta Pixel set cookies (such as _gcl_au and _fbp) that let me see which ads lead to enquiries. Nothing from Google or Meta is loaded before you agree.

Changes

I may update this policy from time to time. The latest version is always on this page.
