Why and how we use your personal information

When you purchase or sign up for emails about products, so we can tell you about the products, provide you with customised offers, and keep you informed about food photography resources

If you sign up through opt-in forms on Lauren Caris Food Photographer, or purchase a product, we may collect information such as your name, email address, IP address, where and when on our websites you signed up, and when you were last seen on our services, in order to let you know more by email about products, and provide you with customised offers to purchase products.

When you subscribe to our newsletter, we keep track of how you engage with our emails, such as which of our emails you open and what links you visit from those emails, so that we can send you information that you're most interested in.

We are lawfully able to use this information due to our legitimate interest to provide you with information related to the topics you have expressed an interest in, by signing up or purchasing a product.

When you interact with embedded content from other websites

Pages on the Lauren Caris Food Photographer website, our affiliated site That's Sage, or any other affiliated sites operated by Short Media Enterprises, may include embedded content (e.g. videos or images, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. Please refer to these sites' privacy policies and terms of use for further information on how they process your personal data.

E.g. our online courses contain videos hosted on a partner platform. By watching these videos, the platform may track you having watched the video, to increase the video's "view count".
