Privacy
What happens to the information you send me through this site, and how to get it removed.
Last updated September 2026
Who is responsible
Matthew Thompson, trading as Lutra Ventures Ltd (company number 17312196), Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. I am the data controller for this site.
What I collect
The name, email address and message you enter in the contact form, and anonymous page-view statistics. Nothing else, and no marketing list.
Why, and on what basis
Enquiries are handled on the basis of legitimate interest: you contacted me and expect a reply. Page-view statistics are collected on the same basis, to see which pages are read. They use no cookies and do not identify you, so there is no cookie banner.
Who else sees it
The site, the contact form and its analytics run on Framer, and my email is handled by Apple iCloud Mail. I do not share your details with anyone else.
How long I keep it
Enquiry correspondence is kept for 12 months and then deleted. Records relating to a commissioned shoot are kept for as long as the licence runs.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of what I hold, ask me to correct or erase it, or object to it being held at all. Email me and I will act within one month.
Photographs of people
Portraits are published with the subject's agreement. If you appear in a photograph here and want it taken down, write to me and it comes down.
Medical enquiries
I cannot give personal medical advice through this site. If you are worried about your own health or a child's, contact your GP or NHS 111. In an emergency, call 999.
Complaints
If you are unhappy with how your data has been handled, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
