B. Information We Collect Automatically (via Cookies and Tracking Technologies): When you visit and interact with our Site, we (or our third-party service providers) may automatically collect certain information about your device and your activity on the Site through cookies and similar technologies. This may include:

  • Device & Connection Information: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, and time zone.

C. Visual & Audio Data (for Photography and Videography Services):

  • In the course of providing our services, we collect visual (photographs) and audio-visual (videos) recordings which depict identifiable individuals.
  • This data is collected solely to fulfil our service agreements with you, which include creating, editing, and delivering photographic and videographic content as commissioned.

3. Consent

Your knowledge and consent are required for the collection, use, or disclosure of your Personal Information, except where required or permitted by law.

  • Express Consent: We will seek your express consent (e.g., through a signed contract, an opt-in checkbox) for purposes such as:
    • Collecting your Personal Information for specific services.
    • Using your images/videos in our portfolio, on our website, social media, or for promotional purposes.
    • Sending you marketing communications (e.g., newsletters), in compliance with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).
  • Implied Consent: In certain circumstances, consent may be implied. For example, by providing us with your name, address, and payment information to book a service, we imply your consent to use this information to process your request and complete the transaction.
  • Withdrawing Consent: You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Withdrawing consent for certain uses may limit our ability to provide you with certain services. To withdraw your consent, please contact us.

4. Limiting Collection, Use, and Disclosure

  • Limiting Collection: We will limit the collection of Personal Information to only what is necessary for the purposes identified.
  • Limiting Use & Disclosure: Personal Information will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with your consent or as required or permitted by law.
  • Retention: We will retain your Personal Information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, or as required by law. When no longer needed, your Personal Information will be securely disposed of or anonymized.

5. Sharing Your Personal Information

We may share your Personal Information with third parties for the purposes described above, consistent with the principle of limiting use and disclosure:

  • Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform functions on our behalf (e.g., website hosting, analytics services, payment processors, cloud storage for photos/videos, email marketing services). These parties are obligated to protect your Personal Information and only use it for the purposes for which it was provided to them.
  • Legal and Law Enforcement: We may disclose your Personal Information if required to do so by law (e.g., a court order, subpoena, or governmental request) or to protect our legal rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company. Your Personal Information may be part of the transferred assets.
  • With Your Explicit Consent: We may share your Personal Information with other third parties when we have obtained your explicit consent to do so.

6. Accuracy

We strive to keep your Personal Information as accurate, complete, and up-to-date as necessary for the purposes for which it is used. You have the right to request a correction to your Personal Information if you believe it is inaccurate or incomplete.

7. Safeguards

We protect your Personal Information with security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. We implement reasonable technical, physical, and administrative measures to protect against unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, or disposal of Personal Information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

8. Openness and Individual Access

  • Openness: We will make information about our policies and practices relating to the management of your Personal Information readily available to you.
  • Individual Access: You have the right to request access to your Personal Information that is under our control. You may also request information about how your Personal Information has been used and to whom it has been disclosed. We will provide this information within 30 days of your request, unless there are legal reasons not to, in which case we will notify you in writing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below. We may require you to verify your identity to process your request.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under this age without verifiable parental consent. Under British Columbia law, a child’s ability to provide consent depends on their maturity and understanding of the nature and consequences of providing their Personal Information. However, as a general practice, we do not intentionally process Personal Information from individuals we know to be under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian consent. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with Personal Information without your consent, please contact us, and we will take steps to remove that information from our systems.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post the updated Privacy Policy on our Site with a revised “Effective Date.” We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
