How We Use Your Information

We use your information to run our business and serve you well, including to:

Respond to inquiries and check availability for your date.

Prepare proposals, contracts, and invoices, and process payments.

Plan your wedding, engagement, or proposal coverage, including timelines and shot lists.

Deliver your photos and films through online galleries and download links.

Send service-related messages such as reminders, questionnaires, and gallery notices.

Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it.

Protect the Site from spam and abuse, and meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations.

Use of Your Photos and Films

We may share selected images and video clips from your event in our portfolio, on this Site, on our blog, on social media (such as Facebook, Instagram, and Vimeo), in wedding publications, and with venues and vendors who worked your event. Your service agreement controls these rights.

If you would prefer that we not share your images publicly, or want a specific image removed, tell us in writing at [email protected]. We will honor your request going forward and remove images we control within a reasonable time. We cannot recall images that third parties have already printed or published.

We do not sell your photos or videos to third parties for their own advertising.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share it only as needed to provide our services:

Service providers that help us run the business, such as our client-management and payment platform, online gallery and file-delivery services, email and cloud storage providers, website hosting, and analytics tools. They may use your information only to perform services for us.

Associate photographers, videographers, and editors who work your event or help process your images, under confidentiality expectations.

Your wedding vendors and venue, when you ask us to coordinate with them or when sharing timelines and images is part of the service.

Legal and safety reasons: when required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect our rights, our clients, or others.

Business transfers: if Blue Spruce is sold or merged, your information may transfer to the new owner under the terms of this policy.

Data Retention and Security

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes above or as the law requires. Inquiry details from people who do not book are typically deleted within two years. Client contracts and financial records are kept as long as tax and business law requires.

We keep archived copies of your photos and video for a limited time after delivery, as described in your service agreement. Please download and back up your gallery promptly; we cannot guarantee long-term storage.

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections, reputable service providers, and limited access. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Privacy Rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to:

Access the personal information we hold about you.

Correct information that is inaccurate.

Delete your information, subject to records we must keep for legal, tax, or contract reasons.

Get a copy of your information in a portable format.

Opt out of marketing emails (use the unsubscribe link or contact us), targeted advertising, and any sale of personal information (we do not sell it).

Residents of Colorado, California, and other states with privacy laws may have additional rights under those laws, including the right to appeal our decision on a request. We extend the rights above to all visitors whether or not a specific law requires it.

How to make a request: email [email protected] or call 720-635-7611. We may need to verify your identity before acting. We will respond within 45 days and will not treat you differently for exercising your rights. If we deny a request, you may appeal by replying to our decision with “Appeal” in the subject line, and we will respond within 45 days.

Children’s Privacy, Other Sites, and Changes

Children: the Site is meant for adults planning weddings and events. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. Children may appear in event photos we take at a client’s request; those images are handled under the client’s service agreement. If you believe a child has sent us information through the Site, contact us and we will delete it.

Third-party sites: the Site links to other websites, such as social media, review sites, and venue pages. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please review their policies.

Changes to this policy: we may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and change the effective date above. Significant changes will be highlighted on the Site or shared with active clients.
