Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2, 2026
Ransom, Inc. ("Ransom, Inc.," "we," "us," or "our") operates jamesransom.nyc (the "Site"), a portfolio and inquiry site for James Ransom's architecture and interiors photography services. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, and the choices you have.
This is a plain-language summary of our practices, not a substitute for legal advice. If you have questions about how a specific law applies to your situation, please consult an attorney.
Information We Collect
Information you give us directly. When you submit our contact form, we collect your first and last name, email address, and any project details you choose to share (for example, the type of shoot, location, or timeline). We use this only to respond to your inquiry.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, jamesransom.nyc is built on Wix's platform, which uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and may collect standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and pages viewed. This helps us understand how visitors use the Site and keep it running smoothly. See Wix's own privacy and cookie policies for details on what their platform collects on our behalf.
Newsletter or email communications. If you opt in to receive updates from us, your email address is stored in our email marketing platform (Mailchimp) so we can send you occasional updates about our work. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.
We do not collect payment information through this Site, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected to:
-
Respond to inquiries and discuss potential photography projects
-
Send requested updates or newsletters, if you've opted in
-
Maintain, secure, and improve the Site
-
Understand general visitor trends (for example, which pages are most viewed)
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
How We Share Your Information
We share information only with the service providers that help us run the Site and our business, including:
-
Wix, our website hosting and site-management platform
-
Mailchimp, our email marketing platform (only for those who opt in)
These providers process information on our behalf and are contractually restricted from using it for any purpose other than providing services to us. We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Ransom, Inc. or others.
Cookies
The Site uses cookies set by our hosting platform (Wix) to operate core site functionality and, where applicable, to understand aggregate site usage. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; note that some parts of the Site may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you, or to object to or limit certain uses of it. This includes rights available under laws such as the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), where applicable.
To exercise any of these rights, or to unsubscribe from communications, contact us at james@jamesransom.com. We will respond within a reasonable time and in accordance with applicable law.
Data Retention
We keep contact form submissions and inquiry correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry and maintain business records, and email marketing contacts for as long as you remain subscribed. You can request deletion at any time using the contact information below.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information you share with us, including relying on the security infrastructure of our hosting and email platforms. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Visitors
jamesransom.nyc is operated from the United States. If you are visiting from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or operational reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
