pRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: January 2025
Kids Mini Sessions by Joanna Galant Photography
At Kids Mini Sessions, your trust means everything to us. We know how important privacy is—especially when it comes to your family. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website, book a session, or sign up to stay in touch.
1. What We Collect
When you interact with us, we may collect a few pieces of information to help deliver the best experience possible:
- Contact details: Your name, email address, and (if you choose) phone number
- Session details: Your child’s name, age, or other preferences to personalize your session
- Booking & payment data: Managed securely by trusted third-party platforms
- Website data: Like your IP address, browser type, and behavior on our website (via cookies)
We only collect what’s necessary—and only when you voluntarily provide it.
2. How We Use Your Information
Here’s how your info helps us serve you better:
- To book and manage your photo session
- To deliver your gallery and send you session updates or reminders
- To respond to inquiries or support you through any step of the process
- To send occasional emails about promotions, new offerings, or special events (unsubscribe anytime)
- To improve our website, experience, and offerings
We’ll never use your info for anything shady or unexpected—promise.
3. Protecting Children’s Privacy
We care deeply about protecting your child’s privacy. Any images of children are only shared publicly or used in our marketing with your written permission through a signed model release.
Don’t want an image used anymore? Just reach out—we’ll remove it right away.
4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information—ever.
We may share it with a few trusted service providers when absolutely necessary, such as:
- Our online gallery host (e.g., Pixieset)
- Payment processors
- Email platforms (like Mailchimp)
- Professional labs (for printed products you’ve ordered)
Each of these providers has their own security standards to keep your info safe.
5. Cookies & Website Analytics
Our website uses cookies to give you a smoother experience and understand how people interact with our site. You can always manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.
Cookies help us with things like:
- Keeping track of form submissions
- Understanding website traffic (via tools like Google Analytics)
- Improving site speed and navigation
6. Your Privacy Rights (Florida, CCPA, and GDPR)

While Florida doesn’t currently have its own comprehensive privacy law like some other states, we honor your right to transparency and control over your personal data. You can request to access, modify, or delete your information at any time.
If you’re a California resident (CCPA):
You have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect and how it’s used

7. Security
We use trusted platforms with built-in security (like SSL encryption and password protection) to ensure your personal data is safe. While no system is ever 100% perfect, we’re committed to doing everything we can to protect your info.
8. Email & Marketing Preferences
If you join our email list, we’ll only send content you’ve signed up for—like session openings, promotions, and creative updates from the studio. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of any email, or by emailing us directly.
9. Changes to This Policy
