Information Protection

All purchases available through this website are managed via third-party providers that use SSL encryption to protect your payment information. This website is also hosted on a frequently updated server with the latest security patches. Industry-standard firewalls are also in place.

How Cookies Are Used

Cookies are files that a website or service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive. When your browser is configured to allow cookies, this website can recognize your browser and remember certain information.

For instance, cookies are used to remember your preferences and which pages you have visited, allowing for an improved visitor experience. Cookies may also be used to help compile aggregate data about website traffic and site interaction so that better website experiences and tools can be offered in the future. Trusted third-party services also use cookies to track information on our behalf.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can modify browser settings to decline cookies. However, modifying that setting may prevent you from taking full advantage of all features found on this website.

Information Sharing With Third Parties

Michael Anthony Studios LLC does not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. This exclusion does not extend to website hosting partners and other parties that assist in operating this website or serving users.

All third-party operators have agreed to keep collected information confidential. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Michael Anthony Studios LLC reserves the right to release information to enforce website policies, when required by law, and when needed to protect the rights, property, or safety of others.

Third-Party Tracking

This website uses several third-party tools that track visitor behavior, including Google (Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Google Ads) and the Meta (Facebook) Pixel. These tools use cookies and similar technologies to measure and compile data regarding visitor interactions, ad impressions, and other functions as they relate to our website. This information cannot be used to identify individual visitors, and we will not combine information gathered through these tools with personally identifiable information.

If you do not wish to participate in advertising tracking, you can opt out using the Google Ad Settings page, the Digital Advertising Alliance Consumer Choice page, the Network Advertising Initiative Opt Out page, or the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser add-on. You can also browse using your browser's private/incognito mode to remove most tracking.

Facebook and Instagram Data

When you comment on our Facebook Page or Instagram posts and ads, or message us on Facebook Messenger or Instagram Direct, we receive your public profile name or username, your profile ID, the content of your comments and messages, and any contact details you choose to share, such as your name, email address, or phone number.

We use this information to reply to comments and questions, to send a private reply when you comment asking about pricing, availability, or location, and to moderate comments on our Page and ads, including hiding comments. When you share contact information and ask to book or learn more, we add you to our customer relationship management (CRM) system so our team can follow up. We use an internal tool connected to Meta's APIs for this work. That tool only accesses our own Facebook Page and Instagram account.

We do not sell this information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate, such as our CRM provider, under confidentiality obligations, or when required by law. We follow the Meta Platform Terms.

We keep this information only as long as needed for the purposes described above, or as required by law.

How to Request Deletion of Your Data

To request deletion of data we received from your Facebook or Instagram interactions, email info@michaelanthonyphotography.com with the subject line “Data Deletion Request.” Include your Facebook name and/or Instagram username, and the email address or phone number you shared with us, if any.

We will confirm your request and delete the data we hold from those Facebook and Instagram interactions, and from our CRM, within 30 days, except where we must keep records as required by law.

You can also delete your own comments and messages on Facebook and Instagram, and you can remove app connections in your Facebook settings.

Text Messaging (SMS) & Mobile Information

If you provide your phone number and opt in through our inquiry form, we may send you appointment and marketing text messages. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies. You can reply STOP at any time to opt out, or HELP for help.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
