Cookies do not automatically provide us with sensitive personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, event details, private messages, or photography inquiry information.

You provide that type of information only when you choose to submit a form, send an inquiry, subscribe to updates, schedule a call, or communicate with us directly.

For more information about how personal information is collected, used, stored, and protected, please review the website’s Privacy Policy.

Most browsers allow you to:

7Montana Privacy Rights

If you are a Montana resident, you may have certain privacy rights under Montana privacy law, depending on how your personal data is collected, used, and processed.

These rights may include the right to:

• confirm whether personal data is being processed
• access personal data
• correct inaccurate personal data
• request deletion of personal data
• obtain a copy of personal data in a portable format
• opt out of the sale of personal data
• opt out of targeted advertising
• opt out of certain profiling activities

We do not knowingly sell personal information in the traditional sense of exchanging personal information for money.

8Opting Out of Sale, Sharing, or Targeted Advertising

You may opt out of cookies and tracking used for targeted advertising by:

• using the cookie preference tools available on this website, if shown

Aundrea Marie Photography
Email: hello@aundreamarie.photography
Subject Line: Privacy Request

We may need to verify your request before acting on it.

9Global Privacy Control and Opt-Out Preference Signals

Some browsers or browser extensions allow you to send an automatic privacy signal, such as Global Privacy Control, that communicates your choice to opt out of certain tracking, sale, sharing, or targeted advertising.

Where required by applicable law and where technically feasible, this website will honor valid opt-out preference signals.

Because website platforms, browsers, third-party tools, and privacy technologies continue to change, some signals may not work perfectly across every embedded service or third-party platform.

You may still contact us directly to submit a privacy request.

10Children and Minors

This website is intended for adults researching photography services.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children or minors for targeted advertising, sale, or profiling.

If you believe a child or minor has provided personal information through this website without proper consent, please contact us so we can review and delete the information when appropriate.

11Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” settings.

There is currently no single industry-wide standard for how websites must respond to Do Not Track signals. Because of that, this website may not respond to every Do Not Track request automatically.

You can still control cookies through your browser settings, cookie preference tools, opt-out preference signals, and direct privacy requests.

12Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

You can usually manage cookies through your browser’s privacy or security settings.

Common browsers with cookie controls include:

• Google Chrome
• Safari
• Firefox
• Microsoft Edge
• Brave
• DuckDuckGo browser
• other privacy-focused browsers

Because browser settings change over time, please refer to your browser’s official instructions for current cookie management options.
