Studio8687 provides photography services for families, which may include children under the age of 18. We collect and store personal information about children only as part of providing our photography services (e.g., through a family photoshoot). This information is collected through the parent or guardian’s consent and involvement in the session. Most shoots only have parent's information.

If we collect personal information about a child under the age of 18, it is done with the consent of the child's parent or legal guardian. The parent or guardian is responsible for ensuring that any data shared about their child is accurate and for granting permission for the use of that data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

8.2 No Intentional Collection
We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 18 without parental consent. If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child without consent, please contact us, and we will take steps to remove it.
