Time and professionalism
- This is a collaboration / test shoot, not a paid booking, and it works best when both sides treat it that way.
- Please arrive on time. If you're running more than 20 minutes late without letting Metty know, the session may be cancelled on the day.
- If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give at least 48 hours notice. Late cancellations affect other models and the day's schedule.
- Bringing a friend, chaperone, stylist, or makeup artist is welcome, just mention it in advance so the day can be planned around the extra person. The same applies in reverse: neither side brings someone extra without telling the other first.
- Outdoor shoots take place in public spaces. Keep valuables secured; Metty isn't responsible for personal items during the session but will make a reasonable effort to keep belongings nearby on location.
Age and attendance
- You must be 18 or older to attend a session alone.
- 16 and 17 year olds are welcome, but only with someone aged 21 or over present for the full session.
Image rights and licensing
- Metty holds the copyright to all images from the session.
- You're granted a limited, perpetual licence to use your images on your personal social media accounts, moodboards, personal website, and portfolio or modelling book, physical or digital.
- This licence extends to your modelling agency, for use on your profile or in your book.
- Images can't be sold or used commercially, and printing is limited to portfolio use only. If you'd like to use an image beyond this, get in touch first to arrange licensing.
Using and sharing the images
- Raw, unedited files aren't provided under any circumstance.
- Delivered images shouldn't be re-edited, retouched, or run through filters, presets, or AI retouching apps by anyone other than Metty, for any reason. If this happens, you may be asked to remove the images from any public use.
- Images must not be uploaded to, or used to train, any AI platform or tool.
- If you'd like to submit an image for magazine or press publication, contact Metty first.
- When you post the images, please credit Metty Unuabona, either as a joint collaboration post or a tag - @mettyunuabona or mettyunuabona.com.
- This project doesn't include nude or boudoir work, and requests along those lines can't be accommodated.
Your data
- Your data is handled under UK GDPR, see the full notice directly below for what's collected, why, how long it's kept, and your rights.
Privacy Notice
Who is responsible for your data
Metty Unuabona is the data controller for the information you submit through the booking page. Any questions about how your data is handled can be sent to contact@mettyunuabona.com.
What is collected
Your preferred name, email address, chosen time slot, the style and outfit details you provide, and - only if you choose to share it - your Instagram handle, used solely so Metty's portrait account can follow you. No payment information, no physical address, and no legal or government identification is requested or collected at any point in this process.
Why it is collected
This information exists for one purpose only: to confirm your slot, coordinate the shoot, and generate the calendar invite sent to you and to Metty. It is not used for marketing, profiling, or any automated decision-making.
Who can see it
Only Metty Unuabona has access to submitted booking data. Every applicant's submission is private. You will never see another applicant's name, email, or outfit details, and they will never see yours.
How long it is kept
Your data is automatically deleted 30 days after your shoot's start time. This applies whether the shoot goes ahead, is cancelled, or you do not show up. No booking data is retained beyond that 30-day window for any reason.
Where it is stored
Submitted data is processed and stored using Google's infrastructure (Google Sheets and Gmail) under Metty's own Google account. Google operates under its own Data Processing Agreement and standard contractual safeguards. No third-party marketing tool, CRM, or analytics platform has access to this data.
Your GDPR rights
Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights over your data, in full, at any time:
- Right to access - ask what data is held about you.
- Right to rectification - ask for incorrect data to be corrected.
- Right to erasure - ask for your data to be deleted before the automatic 30-day window.
- Right to restrict processing - ask for your data to be held but not used, in specific circumstances.
- Right to object - object to how your data is being used.
- Right to complain - lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your data has been mishandled.
To exercise any of these rights, email contact@mettyunuabona.com. Requests are actioned promptly and without charge.
Calendar invites
The .ics calendar file attached to your confirmation email contains the same details as your booking: your name, the styles and outfit notes, the time, and the location. This file is sent only to you and to Metty, and is not stored or shared anywhere beyond your own and Metty's calendar apps once added.
