Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 15, 2026

At LensLesson, we respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection on our website.

1. Information We Collect

LensLesson is a free photography education website. We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to read our content.

We collect information in two ways: through third-party analytics services as described below, and directly from you if you choose to send us a message through our contact form.

If you use the contact form, we collect what you enter:

• Your first and last name
• Your email address
• The topic you select, if any
• Your message

We store this information in our database, which is hosted by Supabase, and use it only to read and respond to your message. We do not sell or share it. You can ask us to delete your message at any time by emailing hello@lenslesson.com.

2. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This service collects anonymous, aggregated data including:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• General geographic location (country/city level)
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• Referral sources (how you found our site)
• General browsing patterns and site navigation

This information helps us understand which content is most helpful to our readers and how to improve the site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data. You can learn more about how Google uses this information at Google's Privacy Policy.

3. Google Ads

We may display advertisements through Google Ads to support our free educational content. Google Ads may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. This is known as interest-based advertising.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or www.aboutads.info.

4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. LensLesson uses cookies only through our third-party services (Google Analytics and Google Ads) as described above.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View what cookies are stored on your device
• Delete cookies individually or all at once
• Block cookies from specific or all websites
• Set preferences for first-party vs. third-party cookies

Please note that blocking cookies may affect your experience on some websites.

5. Information We Do Not Collect

LensLesson does not:

• Require user registration or accounts
• Collect names, email addresses, or contact information unless you send them to us through the contact form
• Process payments or collect financial information
• Track individual users across sessions
• Sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties
• Use data for purposes other than improving our website and responding to messages you send us

6. External Links

Our website contains links to external websites, including photography equipment retailers and software providers. These third-party sites have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.

7. Children's Privacy

LensLesson is intended for general audiences interested in photography education. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The only personal information we collect is what a visitor chooses to send through the contact form. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email hello@lenslesson.com and we will delete it.

8. Data Security

Messages you send through the contact form are kept in a hosted database, and we use reasonable measures to protect them. Our site is served over HTTPS to ensure secure connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your data:

• California residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what personal information is collected and to request deletion. The only personal information we collect directly is what you send through the contact form. Email hello@lenslesson.com to ask what we hold or to have it deleted.
• European visitors (GDPR): You have rights to access, rectify, and erase personal data. For information you send through the contact form, email hello@lenslesson.com to exercise these rights. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
