What’s this about?

A new law was made that keeps your information safe – things like your address, date of birth and phone number. Inspawration Photography School (Emily Abrahams Photography) and other people collect and use information for all kinds of reasons, and the new law tells them exactly what they are allowed to do with yours.

We collect some information about our students, like you. It’s our job to tell you how we will collect the information, how we will record it and how we will use it.
