Last updated: June 2026
This privacy policy explains how Bilaal Sadeer Wedding Photography ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit www.bilaalsadeer.com or contact us about our services. We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with applicable data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for clients based in the European Union.
1. Who We Are
Data controller: Bilaal Sadeer Wedding Photography, Mauritius.
Contact: capture.by.bs@gmail.com · WhatsApp: +230 5732 7738
2. Data We Collect
Contact enquiries: When you send us a message via the contact form, WhatsApp, or email, we collect your name, email address, phone number (if provided), and the content of your message. This is used solely to respond to your enquiry and arrange your booking.
Analytics data: We use Google Analytics (GA4, ID: G-ML54N6TQL0) to understand how visitors use our website. This collects anonymised data including pages visited, time spent, country of origin, and device type. No personally identifiable information is collected by analytics. You can opt out via your browser settings or a Google Analytics opt-out extension.
Photography: If you book our services, photographs taken during your session may be used on our website and social media portfolios unless you exercise your privacy option (see Section 7).
3. Legal Basis for Processing
- Contract performance: processing necessary to fulfil your photography booking
- Legitimate interests: website analytics to improve our service
- Consent: use of your photos in our portfolio (revocable at any time)
4. How Long We Keep Your Data
Enquiry and booking communications are retained for up to 3 years to manage ongoing relationships and for legal/accounting purposes. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics default retention settings (26 months). Photos used in our portfolio are retained until you request removal.
5. Who We Share Data With
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share data only with:
- Google (Analytics & Drive): for website analytics and secure photo delivery
- WeTransfer: for photo delivery where chosen
- WhatsApp / Meta: when you initiate contact via WhatsApp
All third-party tools operate under their own privacy policies and data processing agreements.
6. International Transfers
As a Mauritius-based business serving international clients, some data may be processed outside the EEA. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (e.g., Google's Standard Contractual Clauses).
7. Your Privacy Option
You may request that your photos are never shared publicly or used in our marketing at any time — before, during, or after your session. Simply state this preference when booking or contact us at any time. This does not affect the quality or scope of your photography service.
8. Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are based in the EU or EEA, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Rectify inaccurate data
- Erase your data ("right to be forgotten")
- Restrict how we process your data
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Data portability — receive your data in a portable format
- Withdraw consent at any time (for consent-based processing)
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at capture.by.bs@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Our website uses essential cookies for navigation and Google Analytics cookies (anonymised) to understand site usage. No advertising or tracking cookies are used. You can control cookies via your browser settings at any time.
