5. Our lawful bases
Depending on the circumstances, we may process your information because:

It is necessary to perform a contract.
For example, when we use your contact details, event information and venue details to provide your booked photo booth service.

It is necessary to take steps before entering into a contract.
For example, when you enquire about availability or request a quotation.

We have a legitimate interest.
For example, managing our business, responding to enquiries, improving our services and keeping appropriate records.

We have a legal obligation.
For example, retaining certain financial and transaction records.

You have given your consent.
For example, where consent is required for marketing communications or non-essential website cookies.

6. Photographs taken at events
Where The Keeps Club is booked to provide a photo booth, photographs will be captured as part of the service.

These photographs may be:
  • Displayed on the booth screen
  • Printed during the event
  • Shared by guests using available sharing features
  • Stored within an online event gallery
  • Supplied to the person or organisation that booked the event

Guests choose whether to participate in the photo booth and whether to use available sharing features.

We do not automatically use photographs from private events for advertising, social media or promotional purposes unless we have an appropriate lawful basis or permission to do so.

Where promotional permission has been agreed separately, this does not affect the delivery of the booked service.

7. Digital sharing

Where guests choose to send photographs to themselves by email, QR code or another available sharing method, the information required to complete that request may be processed by our photo booth software or service providers.

Guests are responsible for providing accurate contact information when using these features.

  • Payment processors
  • Email and communication providers
  • Accountants or professional advisers
  • Venues, wedding planners or event organisers where coordination is required
  • IT and technical support providers

We only share information where reasonably necessary and expect service providers handling personal information on our behalf to protect it appropriately.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

9. International transfers

Some of the technology and software services we use may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.

Where this happens, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that your information is protected in accordance with UK data protection law.

10. How long we keep your information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Where we send direct marketing that requires consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications using the unsubscribe option provided or by contacting us directly.
