We share your personal information within New Shoots Photography Training and as described in this policy. We do not share personal information with marketers outside of New Shoots Photography Training unless you consent to such sharing or as described within this policy.

Third-party service providers

We engage third-party service providers to perform a variety of business operations on our behalf. In so doing, we may share your personal information with them. We provide our service providers with only the personal information they need in order to perform the services we request, and we contractually require that they protect this information appropriately and not use it for any other purpose.

​

We may share your information with selected third parties including:

  • business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with you;
