Deleted photos from iPhone, photos from iPhotos also got deleted

Deleted photos off my iPhone and just found out that those photos are all gone from my iPhotos (ver 1.2). Are those photos permanently gone? And what can I do to prevent this from happening?

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2

If you are signed into iCloud on the device/computer and syncing photos, if you delete them from the device/Computer they will be deleted from iCloud. To increase space available, go Settings/iCloud/Photos and select Optimize iPhone/iPad Storage. For the computer, go to Photos/Preferences/iCloud. That will reduce the space required by about 90% when fully effective.
