Picture Perfect Events LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at pictureperfectevents.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using our website or booking our services, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly
When you submit a booking or contact form, we collect:
- Full name

- Event type, date, and venue/location
- Electronic signature (contract acceptance)

Payment information
Deposit and invoice payments are processed by Stripe. We do not collect or store your credit card number or banking details on our servers. Payment data is handled entirely by Stripe under their own privacy and security policies.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, basic browser and device information may be collected by us or by third-party services embedded on the site (see Section 3). We do not run our own analytics tracking.
2. How We Use Your Information

- Process your $50 deposit and any remaining balance
- Respond to questions or support requests
- Schedule a planning consultation call with you
- Send occasional promotional updates (you may opt out at any time)
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes.
3. Third-Party Services
Our website uses the following third-party services, each of which may collect data independently under their own privacy policies:
Stripe (Payment Processing)
We use Stripe to handle deposit payments and invoice payments. Stripe may collect your name, email, and payment details. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
HoneyBook (Contact Form)
Our contact/booking inquiry form is embedded via HoneyBook. Information you submit through that form is received by HoneyBook and forwarded to us. See HoneyBook's Privacy Policy.
fotoshare.co (Gallery)
Event photo galleries are embedded from fotoshare.co. Viewing galleries may be subject to fotoshare.co's own data practices.
Google Fonts
Our site loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com), which may log your IP address as part of that request. See Google's Privacy Policy.
Nodemailer / Email Provider
Booking confirmation and notification emails are sent via a configured email provider (e.g., Gmail or SendGrid). Your email address is used solely to send booking-related communications.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
What we store
Our website uses your browser's local storage (not traditional cookies) to save your shopping cart contents so your selections are preserved if you navigate away or refresh the page. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
We also store your cookie consent preference in local storage so we don't show you the consent banner on every visit.
Third-party cookies
The third-party services listed above (HoneyBook, Google Fonts, fotoshare.co) may set their own cookies in your browser. We do not control these cookies.
Cookie categories used on this site
- Strictly necessary: Local storage for your cart and consent preference. These are required for the site to function.
- Functional / third-party: Cookies from HoneyBook, Google Fonts, and fotoshare.co embeds. These are only active when those services load on the page.
5. Data Storage & Security
Booking records (name, email, phone, event details, booking ID) are stored on our web server in a secure file. We take reasonable precautions to protect this data, including:
- Serving our site over HTTPS
- Keeping server software and dependencies up to date
- Limiting access to booking records to authorized personnel only
Payment card data is never stored on our servers — Stripe handles all payment processing and is PCI-DSS compliant.
We retain booking records for a period necessary to fulfill our services and meet legal obligations. If you would like your data removed, please contact us (see Section 8).
6. Photo & Marketing Use
As noted in our service contract, photos and content captured at your event may be used by Picture Perfect Events LLC for marketing, advertising, and promotional purposes — including on social media, our website, and printed materials.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction: Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
- Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data, subject to any legal obligations we have to retain it.
- Opt out of marketing emails: Use the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or contact us directly.
- Opt out of photo marketing: Submit a written request before your event date (see Section 6).
- Withdraw cookie consent: Clear your browser's local storage and cookies at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in Section 8.
