Mel Silva Photography is referred to as MSP in this document

It is MSP’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. This Privacy Policy applies to www.melsilva.com.au and www.melsilvaboudoir.com. MSP will respect your privacy and is committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide MSP through the Website. MSP has adopted this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to explain what information may be collected on the Website, how MSP will use this information, and under what circumstances MSP may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the Website and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.

This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms and conditions posted on our Website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Website. Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, MSP collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. MSP’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how MSP’s visitors use its website. From time to time, MSP may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

MSP also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on blog posts. MSP only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to MSP’s websites choose to interact with MSP in ways that require MSP to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that MSP gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a giveaway or promotion to provide a username and email address.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Links To External Sites

Our Service may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy and terms and conditions of every site you visit.

We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites, products or services.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

MSP discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on MSPs behalf or to provide services available at MSPs website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using MSPs website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.

MSP will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, MSP discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when MSP believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of MSP, third parties or the public at large.

If you are a registered user of one of the websites and have supplied your email address, MSP may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with MSP and our products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. MSP takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

E-commerce

Those who engage in transactions with MSP – by purchasing MSPs services or products, are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions.

MSP does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
