This page summarizes the Client Confidentiality & Privacy Policy and Boudoir Session Agreement included in your intake paperwork. The full agreements are reviewed and signed at booking; this summary does not replace them.
Your Information Stays Private
We treat your name, contact information, booking details, session themes, images, and any communication with us as confidential business information. We do not sell or share client data.
Limited Access to Your Images
Only the people who genuinely need access for your session, your photographer, videographer, posing director, editor, hair and makeup artist, and the administrator handling your booking, are ever able to view your images.
We Never Publish Without Your Permission
Your photographs, videos, testimonials, and any identifying information will never appear on our website, social media, printed marketing, advertising, or public portfolio without your explicit permission.
Closed Set Sessions
Only personnel reasonably necessary for your session are present, unless you request otherwise.
Secure Storage
We use password-protected systems, encrypted storage, and routine backups to protect your files. In the rare event of a security incident affecting your files, we will notify you within 72 hours.
Retention and Deletion
We retain your files until you ask us to delete them, or until a reasonable retention period ends if no other arrangement is made. Upon request, we will permanently delete your files within 30 days and confirm the deletion with you.
Legal Exceptions
We may disclose information only if required by a court order, valid subpoena, or other legal obligation, and you will receive notice wherever the law permits.
Your Responsibility
Once your private gallery password and download links are sent to you, safeguarding them is your responsibility.
Your Comfort, Your Call
You choose your comfort level for every session, from fully clothed to full artistic nude, and you may adjust it at any time during your shoot. Every team member present is held to the same privacy standard as the studio itself.
What You Receive
After your session, you will receive a private online gallery of edited images and a physical photo album, yours to keep for personal use. Ishtar's Image retains copyright and the digital raw files; images may not be sold, licensed, or commercially published without our permission.
Payment and Cancellation
A 50% non-refundable deposit is due at booking, and a $500 fee applies to rescheduling. We know that life happens: if something major comes up, please reach out to us.
Release of Liability
All clients must confirm they are 18 years of age or older and are participating freely and voluntarily. Our full Session Agreement, signed at booking, is governed by Texas law.
Questions or Removal Requests
Privacy questions or removal requests can be directed to the studio at any time at booking@ishtarsimage.com.
