Phoenix Film Revival / Up Close Gallery

Privacy Policy

Last updated: [ADD DATE BEFORE PUBLISHING]

Template — please have it reviewed. This page is a practical starting point written to match how Phoenix Film Revival operates. It is not legal advice. Because you sell to customers nationwide, an attorney should review and tailor it before you rely on it — different states (and customers abroad) can carry different requirements. Anything in highlighted brackets is a placeholder for you to confirm or fill in.

This Privacy Policy explains how Phoenix Film Revival and Up Close Gallery ("we," "us," or "our") collect, use, and share information when you visit our website, book a workshop, rent darkroom time, submit work to the gallery, or buy from our shop.

1. Who we are

Phoenix Film Revival / Up Close Gallery is a community darkroom, gallery, and workshop studio located at 1023 Grand Avenue, Studio E, Phoenix, AZ 85007. You can reach us at phxfilmrevival@gmail.com.

Order and booking details when you reserve a class, rent the darkroom, or buy a product.
Artwork and related details you choose to submit for exhibitions or open calls.

Information collected automatically

Basic technical and usage data such as your device type, browser, pages viewed, and approximate location, gathered through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 5).

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information, and we ask that you not send it to us unless necessary.

3. How we use your information

To process bookings, rentals, purchases, and gallery submissions.
To send confirmations, reminders, and occasional updates you've asked for (you can unsubscribe anytime).
To operate, maintain, and improve our website and services.
To respond to your questions and provide support.
To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights and our community.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. [Confirm this is accurate for your business.] We share information only with service providers who help us run the studio, and only as needed to provide our services. These may include:

Square — payment processing and shop checkout.
Supabase — secure storage of booking and business data.
Bunny.net — delivery of images and media.
EmailJS — sending confirmation emails.
Substack — our email newsletter, if you subscribe.
Instagram / Patreon — if you choose to follow or support us there.

Each provider handles your information under its own privacy practices. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our community.

5. Cookies and tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. You'll see a cookie banner on your first visit where you can accept or limit non-essential cookies. You can also clear or block cookies through your browser settings; some features may not work as well if you do.

6. Your choices and rights

You can unsubscribe from emails using the link in any message, or contact us to review, correct, or delete information we hold about you. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights:

California residents may have rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA. Since we do not sell personal information, there is nothing to opt out of, but you can still exercise your other rights by contacting us.
Residents of other states with privacy laws (such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah) may have similar rights. [Your attorney can confirm which apply to you.]

To make a request, email phxfilmrevival@gmail.com. We will respond as required by applicable law.

7. Children's privacy

Our website and services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

8. Data retention and security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law, and we use reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, let you know.
