Privacy Policy

Photo Booth DFW takes the privacy of everyone who visits photoboothdfw.com seriously. This policy explains, in plain language, what information we collect when you browse our site or send us an enquiry about a photo booth rental in Dallas–Fort Worth, why we collect it, how we look after it and what choices you have. We would rather be clear and specific than hide behind dense legal wording, so you should be able to read this page in a few minutes and understand exactly where you stand.

This policy applies to visitors and users of photoboothdfw.com, the corporate website of Photo Booth DFW, where we present our 360, Glam, Mirror and LED photo booth services for weddings, corporate events, birthdays, quinceañeras and private parties. It covers the information you give us through the contact form, the technical data generated when your browser loads our pages, and the statistics we gather to understand how the site is used.

It does not cover the practices of other websites you may reach through links, or the way a venue, planner or photographer handles information on their own platforms.

We have written this policy to reflect how our site actually works today, including the tools currently active on it. If our services or the technology behind the site change in a way that affects your privacy, we will update this page and, where the change is significant, make that visible on the site. We encourage you to check back from time to time, particularly before you send us a new enquiry after a long break.

Applicable Law

The United States does not have a single federal privacy statute that governs every business. Instead, privacy obligations come from a mix of federal rules, state laws and the general prohibition on unfair or deceptive practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. Photo Booth DFW is based in Dallas, Texas, and we build our practices around that framework while respecting the stronger state laws that may apply to individual visitors.

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives you specific rights over the personal information a business collects about you. Similar comprehensive privacy laws are in force or coming into effect in a growing number of other states, and we honour the rights those statutes grant to residents of the states they cover. Where a state law applies to you, this policy is intended to work alongside it rather than replace it.

Because our site uses Google Analytics and Google Fonts, some information may be processed by Google as described in Google's own privacy documentation. For children under 13, we follow the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and do not knowingly collect their personal information through this site. For commercial email, we comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, and any advertising or endorsement content we publish is presented in line with the FTC Endorsement Guides.

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom and our site is made available to you, the General Data Protection Regulation or the equivalent UK legislation may also apply to the processing described here.

Data Controller

The party responsible for the processing of personal data described in this policy is the owner of this website, whose identification details are set out below.

Data controller: Nahum Lopez, operating as a self-employed professional
Trade name: photoboothdfw.com
Business name: Photo Booth DFW
Postal address: 75201 Dallas, Dallas County, Texas (TX), United States
Email: [email protected]
Website: https://photoboothdfw.com

If you have a question about this policy, want to exercise any of the rights described later on this page, or simply want to know whether we hold information about you, write to [email protected]. Please include enough detail for us to identify your request, such as the email address you used when contacting us and the approximate date. We aim to respond promptly and, in any event, within the time limits set by the privacy law that applies to your request.

Principles We Apply

Our approach to personal information rests on a small set of principles drawn from recognised privacy frameworks and from the state laws that apply to us. They are not abstract statements: each one shapes how we have configured this website and how we handle the enquiries that arrive through it.

Lawfulness, fairness and transparency. We only collect information through photoboothdfw.com for reasons we are allowed to pursue, and we explain those reasons on this page rather than leaving you to guess.
Purpose limitation. Information submitted through the contact form is used to answer your enquiry about a photo booth rental and to manage the booking conversation that may follow, not to build unrelated profiles or mailing lists.
Data minimisation. The contact form asks only for what we need to reply and prepare a quote, and the analytics configuration on the site is kept to the traffic statistics that help us improve it.
Accuracy. We take reasonable steps to keep the details you send us correct and up to date, and we correct or delete them when you tell us something has changed.
Storage limitation. We keep enquiry information only for as long as it serves the purpose it was collected for or as long as a legal or accounting obligation requires, and then remove it.
Integrity and confidentiality. Access to the information we hold is restricted to the people who need it to run the business, and the site runs on infrastructure that applies standard technical safeguards.
Accountability. We review the tools connected to this site, keep this policy aligned with what the site actually does, and can explain our decisions to anyone who asks.

These principles also guide how we treat the third-party services that support the website, such as analytics and fonts. Before adding a tool that would change what we collect, we consider whether it is genuinely necessary and whether the benefit to visitors justifies the data involved.

What Personal Data We Process

Photo Booth DFW only collects the information it genuinely needs to answer enquiries and to keep photoboothdfw.com running reliably. The categories below are grouped by how the data reaches us, so you can see exactly what each channel involves before you use it.

Data you send through the contact form: when you write to us from the Contact page to ask about a 360, Glam, Mirror or LED booth for a wedding, corporate event, birthday, quinceañera or private party, we receive your name, your email address, the subject you select and the message you write. We use these details solely to understand your event and reply to you. Please do not include sensitive information in the message field.
Technical and browsing data: when you visit the site, our hosting and analytics tools record your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, approximate location derived from the IP address, the pages you view, the time and date of your visit, the site you arrived from and how you interact with the pages. This information is aggregated and used to understand which content about our booth rentals is most useful.
Usage statistics and anti-fraud signals: Google Analytics and Google Search Console generate reports on traffic, referrals and search performance, while server-level protections and anti-spam checks register technical markers that help us tell real visitors apart from automated abuse. These records do not identify you by name.

We do not ask for, and do not want to receive, special categories of personal data such as health information, religious beliefs, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, biometric identifiers or precise financial account details. If such information reaches us unsolicited, we will delete it and will not use it for any purpose.

We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13 through this website. Our services are booked by adults organising events, and the contact form is not directed at minors.

Purposes of the Processing

Every category of data described above is tied to a specific, documented purpose. We do not reuse your information for unrelated activities, and we do not sell it. The purposes are the following.

Responding to your enquiries and preparing quotes: we use the name, email address, subject and message from the contact form to answer your question, confirm availability for your date and location in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, and share the details of the booth package that fits your event.
Managing the commercial relationship: if you decide to book, the same contact details allow us to coordinate the service, confirm logistics and keep a record of the agreed arrangement.
Traffic and usage analytics: we analyse aggregated browsing data to see which pages about our 360, Glam, Mirror and LED booths attract the most interest, how visitors move through the site and where the experience can be improved.
Search performance monitoring: Google Search Console helps us verify how photoboothdfw.com appears in search results, detect indexing errors and keep the information about our services accurate and reachable.
Website security and stability: technical logs and caching tools help us detect abnormal requests, block malicious traffic and keep the site available during peak booking periods.
Spam and fraud prevention: anti-spam checks and anti-fraud systems screen form submissions and suspicious activity so that genuine enquiries are not lost among automated messages.

We do not use your contact details for unrelated marketing campaigns, and we do not create profiles that produce legal effects or significantly affect you based on automated processing.

Legal Basis for the Processing

Because Photo Booth DFW operates from the United States, there is no single federal privacy statute that governs every processing activity. We therefore rely on the legal grounds recognised by the applicable state privacy laws, by the Federal Trade Commission Act and by the FTC's guidance on fair information practices, and we apply the same standards to all visitors for consistency.

Consent: when you submit the contact form, you freely provide your details so that we can reply. Analytics cookies and similar technologies are only activated where consent is required and has been given, and you can withdraw that consent at any time through your browser settings or the Google Analytics opt-out mechanism.
Legitimate interests: we process technical and browsing data to keep the site secure, prevent spam and fraud, and understand how the website is used. These interests are balanced against your rights, and the data involved is limited to what is necessary for those safeguards.
Performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps: when you request a quote or book a booth, we process your contact details to prepare the service, confirm the arrangement and deliver the rental you have asked for.
Legal obligation: we may retain and disclose certain records when a valid legal requirement, a court order or a request from a competent authority obliges us to do so.

Where the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA applies to you, you have the right to know, delete, correct and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Photo Booth DFW does not sell personal information. Requests can be sent to [email protected], and we will respond within the timeframes set by the applicable law.

For more detail on how Google handles information collected through its services, you can review the Google Privacy Policy and the page explaining how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Data Retention Periods

Photo Booth DFW keeps personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for, or for as long as the law requires us to keep it. Retention is decided per purpose, not as a single blanket period, so that information is not stored longer than necessary.

The table below summarises how long each category of data is kept and what happens once that period ends.

Purpose	Retention period	What happens afterwards
Handling enquiries and quote requests sent through the contact form on this site	For as long as needed to answer the enquiry and manage the booking conversation, plus the statutory limitation periods that apply to any claim arising from it	Secure deletion or anonymisation once the enquiry is closed and no legal obligation requires keeping it
Event booking and service records, where an enquiry becomes a confirmed rental	For the duration of the service and the period required by applicable tax, accounting and consumer-protection rules	Deletion once the legal retention obligation expires
Website traffic statistics collected through Google Analytics	According to the retention settings configured in the Google Analytics property, which we review periodically	Automatic deletion by the provider at the end of the configured period
Security and anti-fraud logs linked to form submissions	The short period needed to detect and investigate abusive or fraudulent activity	Deletion or aggregation once the review is complete

When a retention period ends, the data is blocked and then deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you. If a legal obligation, an official request or the defence of a legal claim requires it, we may keep specific records for the strictly necessary additional time.

You can ask us about the retention criteria applied to your own enquiry at any time by writing to [email protected].

Recipients and Service Providers

Photo Booth DFW does not sell, rent or trade personal data. We do not share your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes, and we do not disclose it to other organisations unless the law requires it or you have given us clear permission to do so.

Access to personal data is limited to what is strictly necessary to run this website and respond to enquiries. Where an external company processes data on our behalf, it acts as a service provider under our instructions and is bound by a contract that sets out confidentiality, security and data-protection obligations.

The service providers involved in operating photoboothdfw.com are the following.

Web hosting provider

The hosting provider stores the files and databases that make this website work, including the messages submitted through the contact form. It processes data only on our instructions and applies technical and organisational security measures to protect the infrastructure.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is used to measure traffic and understand how visitors use this website, so that we can improve its structure and content. It relies on identifiers and cookies that record aggregated and statistical information about visits. You can read how Google handles this information in the Google Privacy Policy and in the page explaining how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. You may also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Google Maps

Google Maps may be embedded on this website to help visitors locate the service area and event venues in Dallas–Fort Worth. When the map loads, Google may collect technical information about your device and your interaction with the map. Details are set out in the Google Privacy Policy.

Google Fonts

Google Fonts supplies the typefaces used across this website. Loading them may involve a request to Google servers that includes technical data such as your IP address and browser information. Further information is available in the Google Privacy Policy.

International Data Transfers

Photo Booth DFW is based in Dallas, Texas, in the United States, and this website is aimed at customers in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Some of the service providers described above, in particular Google Analytics, Google Maps and Google Fonts, may process technical data outside the country where the data was collected, including in the United States.

Where a transfer leaves the jurisdiction in which the data was collected, we rely on the safeguards that the applicable law recognises for that transfer. Depending on the provider and the legal framework involved, these safeguards may include the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant authority, or other equivalent contractual and organisational guarantees.

These mechanisms oblige the recipient to protect the data to a standard comparable to the one required in the place of origin, and to process it only for the purposes we have defined. We review the providers we use to confirm that appropriate safeguards remain in place and that the information published about their data practices is up to date.

If you would like more detail about the safeguards applied to a specific transfer, you can request it by writing to [email protected]. We will explain which provider is involved and which mechanism covers the transfer.

Your Rights

You have rights over the personal data we hold about you, and we will help you exercise them. The rights available depend on the law that applies to your situation, which may include state privacy laws such as the CCPA/CPRA where their thresholds and scope are met, as well as the GDPR where European data-protection rules apply to a particular processing activity.

Right of access: to know whether we process your data and to receive a copy of the information we hold, together with the purposes and categories involved.
Right to rectification: to correct inaccurate or incomplete data, such as an outdated email address or an incorrect event date.
Right to erasure: to request deletion of your data when it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected for and no legal obligation requires us to keep it.
Right to object: to object to certain processing, including processing based on our legitimate interests or carried out for direct marketing purposes.
Right to restriction: to ask us to limit the use of your data while a request or a dispute is being resolved.
Right to data portability: to receive the data you provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to another provider where technically feasible.
Right to withdraw consent: to withdraw at any time any consent you have given, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Right to non-discrimination: not to be treated differently or denied service because you exercised a privacy right.
Right to opt out of certain uses: where applicable, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising, as those terms are defined by the relevant state law.

To exercise any of these rights, send a request to [email protected] with enough information to identify you and to locate the data concerned, such as the name and email address used in your enquiry. We may ask for reasonable verification before acting, so that we do not disclose information to the wrong person.

We respond to verified requests within the period set by the applicable law, normally within 45 days for requests covered by California privacy law, and we will tell you if an extension is needed. If we cannot fulfil a request, we will explain the reason. You may also use an authorised agent to submit a request on your behalf, subject to verification of that authority.

Filing a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

If you believe that the processing of your personal data by Photo Booth DFW infringes applicable privacy law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority. In the United States there is no single federal privacy regulator, so the appropriate body depends on where you live and on the nature of your concern.

You may file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which oversees unfair or deceptive practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act, or with the attorney general of your state. California residents may also contact the California Privacy Protection Agency and the California Attorney General regarding rights under the CCPA/CPRA.

Where the GDPR applies to a specific interaction, you may complain to the data protection authority in the EU member state where you live, work, or where the alleged infringement occurred. We encourage you to contact us first at [email protected] so we can try to resolve the matter directly.

Minors

Our services are intended for adults who book photo booth rentals for weddings, corporate events, birthdays, quinceañeras and private parties. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 through this website, in line with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Where a minor appears in photos taken at an event, the booking adult is responsible for obtaining any consent required from parents or guardians before sharing or publishing those images. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal data to us through the contact form or by email, please notify us immediately.

Once we become aware of such data, we will delete it from our systems without undue delay and take reasonable steps to prevent further collection. We may also ask the booking party for confirmation that appropriate parental consent exists before we handle any material featuring minors.

Security Measures

We apply technical and organisational measures designed to protect the personal data you send us against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. This website is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection, so information submitted through our contact form travels between your browser and our server in encrypted form.

We keep the software behind this site, including our content management system and installed plugins, updated to current versions, and we apply security patches as they become available. Access to administrative areas and to stored form submissions is restricted to the people who need it to respond to enquiries and manage bookings.

We maintain backups of site data so that information can be restored in the event of an incident, and we use anti-spam and anti-fraud protections to filter abusive or automated submissions. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so while we take these steps seriously, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Embedded Content from Other Sites

Some pages on this website may include embedded content such as Google Maps to show our service area, or other media supplied by third parties. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you had visited the originating site directly.

Those third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies or similar technologies, and track your interaction with the embedded content, including linking it to an account you are signed into. We do not control how those providers process your information.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any embedded service you interact with. You can find more detail on how Google handles information from sites that use its services at Google's privacy policy and Google's partner sites page.

Accuracy of Your Data

You are responsible for ensuring that the personal data you provide to Photo Booth DFW is true, accurate and complete. This applies to details submitted through our contact form, such as your name, email address, event date and venue.

Please keep your information up to date and let us know promptly if anything changes, so that we can respond to your enquiry and coordinate your booking correctly. If you become aware that information you sent us is incorrect, contact us and we will correct or update it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, the tools we use, or applicable law. When we make changes, we will publish the revised version on this page.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically so you remain aware of how we handle personal data. Where a change materially affects how we use information you have already provided, we will take reasonable steps to bring it to your attention.

Contact

If you have any questions about this privacy policy, about how Photo Booth DFW handles your personal data, or about exercising your rights, you can reach us by email at [email protected].

We will do our best to respond to your request promptly and to help resolve any concern you raise.
