4. Client Galleries Hosted by Pixieset

SegnaStudio uses Pixieset to host and deliver client galleries.

Pixieset may process certain personal information on behalf of SegnaStudio, including names, email addresses, gallery access details, image selections, downloads and order information.

Pixieset acts as a third-party service provider and has its own privacy and data processing terms. You can view Pixieset’s own privacy information on the Pixieset website.

SegnaStudio uses Pixieset to provide a secure, professional and practical way for clients to receive, view and download their images.

5. Gallery Access and Passwords

Some client galleries may be private, password-protected or restricted to specific users.

If you are given access to a private gallery, you are responsible for keeping any password or access link secure. Please do not share private gallery links or passwords without permission from the client or SegnaStudio.

SegnaStudio is not responsible for unauthorised access caused by clients or gallery users sharing private links or passwords publicly.

6. Image Use and Sharing

Images delivered through client galleries are intended for the agreed client use.

Depending on the service booked, images may be used for personal, business, marketing, website, social media, print or internal purposes. Usage rights will depend on the agreement between SegnaStudio and the client.

SegnaStudio may request permission to use selected images for portfolio, website, social media, marketing, case study or promotional purposes.

Where consent is required, SegnaStudio will seek permission before using images in this way. If you would prefer not to have your image used publicly, please contact SegnaStudio.

7. How Long We Keep Your Information

SegnaStudio will only keep personal information for as long as necessary.

Client galleries may be available for a limited time. Gallery expiry dates may vary depending on the type of shoot, project or package booked.

SegnaStudio may keep image files, project records and client communication for business, legal, tax, insurance, portfolio or archive purposes.

Typical retention periods may include:

  • Client galleries: [insert period, for example 3–12 months]

  • Final edited images: [insert period]

  • Client communication and invoices: kept as required for business and tax records

  • Marketing consent records: kept until consent is withdrawn or no longer needed

Clients are encouraged to download and back up their images before a gallery expires.

8. Who We Share Information With

SegnaStudio may share personal information with trusted third-party providers where necessary to deliver services.

This may include:

  • Pixieset, for client gallery hosting and image delivery

  • Payment processors, if purchases are made through the gallery

  • Print labs or fulfilment partners, if prints or products are ordered

  • Cloud storage or backup providers

  • Accountants, insurers, legal advisers or professional service providers where required

SegnaStudio does not sell personal information.

9. Security

SegnaStudio takes reasonable steps to protect personal information and client images from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

This includes using secure platforms, password-protected galleries where appropriate, careful file management and limited access to client information.

However, no online platform or digital storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Children and Vulnerable Individuals

Where galleries include children or vulnerable individuals, SegnaStudio will take extra care when handling, storing and sharing images.

Where appropriate, permission should be provided by a parent, guardian, responsible adult, school, organisation or authorised client contact.

If you have concerns about an image of a child or vulnerable person appearing in a gallery, please contact SegnaStudio as soon as possible.

12. Downloads and Client Responsibility

Once images are downloaded from a Pixieset gallery, the client or gallery user is responsible for how those files are stored, shared and used.

SegnaStudio recommends keeping downloaded images secure and only sharing them in line with the agreed usage rights and permissions.
