Privacy policy

Last reviewed and updated: July 12, 2026

1. The short version

This site collects almost nothing. It has no accounts, no checkout, and no tracking of readers across the web. The only personal information it ever holds is what you type into the contact form, plus the routine technical logs any web host keeps. The rest of this page spells that out properly.

2. Who is responsible

The operator of travelinggoosephotography.com — and the data controller where that term applies — is:

Traveling Goose Photography LLC
2921 Central Ave NE, Suite 108, Albuquerque, NM 87106
Phone: (505) 214-3690
Privacy contact: [email protected]

3. What is collected, and why

Things you send us

• Contact form: your name, email address, chosen topic, and message. Used for one purpose — reading and answering your message. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in replying to mail you chose to send.

Things collected automatically

• Hosting logs: the infrastructure that serves these pages records standard technical entries — IP address, browser type, page requested, time — for security, abuse prevention, and keeping the site up. Logs rotate on the host's standard short schedule and are not used to build reader profiles.
• Browser storage: one strictly-necessary entry remembering your cookie-banner choice, described fully in the cookie policy. Anything optional runs only after you consent.

4. What is never done

• Personal information is never sold, rented, shared for advertising, or traded — with anyone.
• No cross-site tracking is run for our benefit, and no data brokers are involved.
• No payment data is collected, because nothing here is for sale.
• The site is written for adult travelers and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email [email protected] and it will be deleted.

5. Service providers

A short list of processors keeps the site running, each handling data only as needed for its job: a hosting and content-delivery provider (serves the pages, generates the logs above), a form-relay service (carries contact-form submissions to our inbox), and an email provider (stores correspondence). If consent-based advertising is ever active, the ad network processes technical data as described in the cookie policy, only after you accept. Information may also be disclosed if the law genuinely requires it, or to protect the site against attack. There are no other recipients.

6. Where the data lives

The journal is published from the United States and its providers process data in the United States. If you are reading from a jurisdiction with its own data protection law, your information is transferred to the U.S. and protected by the practices on this page.

7. How long things are kept

• Correspondence: while the conversation is live, then up to two years, then deleted.
• Hosting logs: the provider's standard short window, typically 30–90 days.
• Consent choice: stays in your own browser until you clear it; we never see it.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, receive a portable copy, restrict or object to processing, and withdraw any consent you gave. Readers in the EEA and UK hold these rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR; California readers hold equivalent rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the rights to know, delete, and correct. The right to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” is honored by default — this site does neither, for anyone.

To exercise a right, email [email protected] or use the contact form and choose the privacy topic. Requests are answered within the legally required window — 30 days in most cases — and exercising a right never affects how you are treated. If the answer does not satisfy you, you may complain to the supervisory authority where you live.

9. Security

Pages are served over HTTPS. The little data that exists is reachable only by the publisher. No system is perfectly secure, but the most effective protection here is structural: the site simply does not hold much about you.

10. Changes

Any revision to this policy appears on this page with a new date at the top. Nothing changes retroactively.
