At Bianca J. Welling Photography, your privacy matters to me. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit biancajwelling.com. By using this website, you agree to the terms outlined below.
Who I Am
This website is operated by Bianca J. Welling, a travel and adventure photographer based in the United States. I share photography, travel guides, destination content, and behind-the-scenes stories from my adventures around the world. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach me at: hello@biancajwelling.com
What Information I Collect
Information You Give Me
When you subscribe to my email newsletter, submit a contact form, or interact with this site, I may collect your name, your email address, and any message or enquiry you send me. This information is entirely voluntary — you choose to share it with me.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit this website, certain technical data is collected automatically by my hosting servers and analytics tools, including your IP address and general location, browser type and operating system, pages you visit and time spent on them, how you found the site, and your device type. This data helps me improve the site and is not used to identify you personally.
Cookies
This website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device. These include essential cookies (required for the site to work), analytics cookies (Google Analytics, used anonymously), and marketing cookies (used by third-party advertising partners). You can control cookies through your browser settings. By continuing to use this site, you consent to cookies as described here.
How I Use Your Information
I use the information I collect to send you my newsletter and updates (only if subscribed), respond to your messages, improve this website, understand which content resonates with my audience, and ensure the security and performance of the site. I will never sell your personal information. Ever.
Email Newsletter
If you sign up to my email list, your name and email will be stored and used to send you photography updates and travel stories. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link at the bottom of any email. Once unsubscribed, I will stop sending marketing emails.
Third-Party Services
This website uses several third-party services including Google Analytics (anonymous traffic tracking — opt out here), WordPress & web hosting (servers based in the United States), social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube — their own privacy policies apply when you interact with those features), and affiliate programmes (some links may earn me a small commission at no extra cost to you).
Affiliate Disclosure
Some posts on this site contain affiliate links. If you click a link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you. This helps support the website so I can keep creating free content. I only ever recommend products, destinations, and services I personally use and love.
Photography & Intellectual Property
All photographs, written content, and creative work on this website are the intellectual property of Bianca J. Welling unless otherwise stated. You may not reproduce, redistribute, or use any image or written content without my express written permission. For licensing enquiries: hello@biancajwelling.com
External Links
This site may contain links to other websites. Once you leave biancajwelling.com, I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites. I encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Data Security
I take reasonable steps to protect personal data you share with me, including using secure, reputable service providers. No method of internet data transmission is 100% secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
This website is not directed at children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact me so I can delete it.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal data I hold about you, withdraw consent, or object to certain types of processing. To exercise any of these rights, email me at hello@biancajwelling.com.
California Residents (CCPA)
California residents have additional rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. I do not sell personal information. To make a request: hello@biancajwelling.com
Changes to This Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
