Privacy / Plain language
What this site collects—and what it does not.
This notice covers visits to ardaniphotography.com and the website inquiry path. It does not replace the terms provided for a booked photography project.
Last updated August 19, 2026
Current status
The inquiry form is not connected.
The form remains a local brief preview. It does not transmit or store what you type, and no message can be sent from this site yet.
Before collection starts, Ardani will verify the secure delivery path and publish the retention and request details that apply.
When you visit
Amazon Web Services hosts and delivers this site. Like any web host, AWS processes the network request needed to return a page, including an IP address, the requested address, and browser or device headers. Ardani's current source-controlled setup does not enable CloudFront viewer access logs.
The public site does not set analytics or advertising cookies, load advertising pixels, or use a visitor analytics service. There are no public visitor accounts and no visitor uploads.
When inquiry sending is enabled
Submitting once enabled will send the information you choose to provide: your name, email address, selected service, optional target date, and message. Please do not include payment-card details, government ID numbers, health information, or other sensitive information; the form will not need it.
Ardani will use the inquiry to reply, understand the requested work, prepare a quote or schedule, prevent duplicate submissions, and protect the service from abuse. Inquiry information will not be sold or used for third-party behavioral advertising.
- The browser will send the inquiry over HTTPS to an AWS API.
- An AWS queue encrypted at rest will hold it while the delivery worker processes it.
- Amazon SES will send an email notice to one fixed business mailbox so David can reply.
AWS WAF will use the source IP for a rolling five-minute abuse check. The application will not write that IP into its logs. WAF request logging and sampled-request capture will remain disabled; only aggregate request and blocked-request counts will be enabled.
Retention and deletion
- Once sending is enabled, inquiry content will normally be removed from the delivery queue after successful processing. An unsuccessful or undeliverable queue copy will expire within 14 days.
- Duplicate-prevention records will contain one-way hashes derived from the submission, workflow IDs, timestamps, and status—not readable copies of the inquiry message or email address. They will be marked to expire after 24 hours. AWS normally deletes expired records asynchronously within a few days, and table recovery points may remain available for up to 35 days.
- Operational API and function logs will be kept for 30 days. Their planned format contains request or message IDs, timing, status, and error classes, but excludes inquiry fields, email addresses, and request bodies.
- Delivered email will be kept only while reasonably needed for the requested work, security, disputes, or legal obligations. Ardani will adopt a written mailbox retention schedule before inquiry sending is enabled.
Your choices
Once inquiry sending is enabled, you may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information Ardani holds about your website inquiry. Ardani may need to verify the request and may retain limited information when reasonably necessary for an existing transaction, security, or a legal obligation. Applicable rights and exceptions vary by law.
Before collection starts
Ardani will adopt a written business-mailbox retention schedule before inquiry sending is enabled. Until then, the form does not transmit what you type.
Service providers and disclosures
AWS provides site hosting and will provide abuse protection, queueing, and email-delivery services when inquiry sending is enabled. Its own handling of customer content is described in the AWS Data Privacy FAQ.
When inquiry sending is enabled, Ardani may disclose inquiry information to the cloud and business-email providers needed to deliver and store it. Ardani may also disclose limited information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect legal rights, or address fraud or security. It will not sell inquiry information.
This notice may change when the inquiry service or its handling changes. The updated date will change with it.
