Privacy notice

How information is handled when you visit norbertvella.com or send an enquiry.

Who is responsible for your information?

Norbert Vella Photography, based in Mellieħa, Malta, is responsible for the personal information submitted through this website. Privacy enquiries can be sent to norbertvella@outlook.com.

Information you provide

If you use the contact form, the website may collect your name, email address, type of occasion, event date and the message you choose to send. This information is used to respond to your enquiry, discuss availability and, where relevant, take steps requested by you before photography services are agreed.

How long enquiry information is kept

Enquiry correspondence is kept only for as long as reasonably needed to deal with the enquiry and maintain appropriate business records. Where an enquiry does not lead to a booking, correspondence will normally be reviewed for deletion within 12 months. Information connected with an actual booking may be retained for longer where needed for the service, accounting, legal or record-keeping purposes.

Services used by the website

The website is hosted and protected through Cloudflare. Contact-form email delivery is handled through Resend and messages are delivered to Microsoft Outlook. Public portfolio photographs are retrieved from Flickr. These providers may process technical or message data as needed to provide their respective services.

Spam and security protection

The contact form may use Cloudflare Turnstile to distinguish legitimate visitors from automated submissions. Turnstile is used for security and abuse prevention rather than advertising.

Website analytics

The site may use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand aggregate page usage and website performance. Cloudflare describes Web Analytics as privacy-first and cookie-free, and states that it does not collect or use visitors’ personal data for this analytics service. The website does not use advertising or behavioural profiling cookies.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, data-protection law may give you rights including access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate information, erasure, restriction, portability and objection to certain processing. To exercise a relevant right, contact norbertvella@outlook.com.

External links

The website links to services such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Flickr. Their own privacy terms apply when you choose to visit those services.

Updates

This notice may be updated when the website or the services it uses change. Last updated: 15 August 2026.
