Privacy Policy

Hevesi Journal is a wedding photography and film studio based in Atlanta, Georgia, operated by Hevesico LLC. This policy explains what information we collect through hevesijournal.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We collect only what we need to respond to you and to understand how the site is used.

Information we collect

When you submit an inquiry, you share the details you choose to enter — typically your name, email address, wedding or event date, location, and anything you tell us about your day. Inquiries are handled through our booking partner, HoneyBook, which processes and stores them on our behalf.

As you browse, we also collect limited, standard analytics — pages visited, referring links, approximate location, device and browser type, and similar usage data. This is gathered through Vercel Analytics and PostHog and is used in aggregate.

How we use information

• To reply to your inquiry and plan your coverage.
• To send information you have asked for about our work.
• To understand how the site is used and improve its content and performance.
• To meet legal, tax, and contractual obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it except with the service providers described below or where required by law.

Cookies and analytics

The site uses cookies and similar technologies for basic functionality and analytics. You can refuse or remove cookies through your browser settings; some parts of the site may be less convenient as a result.

Third-party services

We rely on a small set of trusted providers, each with its own privacy practices: HoneyBook (inquiries and booking), Vercel (hosting and analytics), PostHog (product analytics), Sanity (content management), and embedded media such as YouTube. When you interact with an embed or follow a link to one of our social profiles, that service’s own policy applies.

Advertising

We run ads on Google and on Meta platforms, which include Facebook and Instagram. If you reach this site by clicking one of those ads, the platform that showed it may record that visit under its own privacy policy. We do not place advertising or remarketing trackers on this site, so we do not build advertising profiles of you from your activity here.

Data retention

We keep inquiry and client information for as long as needed to provide our services and to meet our legal and business obligations, then delete or anonymize it.

International visitors

We operate from the United States, and our providers store and process data on US servers. If you visit from outside the US, your information is transferred to and handled in the US under this policy.

Your rights

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop contacting you. Email us and we will respond within a reasonable time.

If you live in California, the CCPA gives you the right to know what personal information we hold, to have it deleted or corrected, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell or share your personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of.

If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, the GDPR gives you the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. We rely on your consent when you inquire and on our legitimate interest in running and improving the site. You can withdraw consent at any time, and you can complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top reflects the most recent revision.

Governing law

This policy is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States.
