We act as the data controller under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) for any personal data collected through the site contact form or cookie banner. Our registered address is #203, 10301-109 Street, Edmonton, Alberta T5J 1N4, Canada and telephone contact is available at (780) 940-1288.

Scope of This Privacy Notice

This notice applies to all visitors to the website who interact with the contact form or accept cookies. It covers residents of Canada and explains how we handle personal information in accordance with federal privacy legislation. The notice does not apply to third-party websites linked from our content.

Categories of Personal Data Collected

We obtain personal data directly from visitors through the contact form, which may include name, message content, and any contact preferences supplied. The cookie banner collects consent signals and basic device identifiers. No data is obtained from third-party sources or public records. We limit collection to information necessary for responding to inquiries or maintaining site functionality.

Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases

Personal data is processed for the following purposes: responding to contact form submissions on the basis of legitimate interest in providing information about urban photography; managing cookie preferences to comply with ePrivacy rules; and maintaining basic site analytics under consent. Each purpose is evaluated against PIPEDA principles to ensure processing remains reasonable and proportionate.

Requirement to Provide Data

Supplying information through the contact form is entirely voluntary. Visitors who choose not to provide details will simply not receive a response. Refusing cookies may limit certain site features but will not prevent access to the main photographic content.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The site uses essential cookies for basic operation and optional analytics cookies after consent via the site-wide banner. Full details appear in the separate Cookie Policy referenced from the banner. No tracking pixels or third-party advertising cookies are deployed.

Processors, Recipients and Legal Disclosures

Service providers such as hosting platforms and form-processing tools receive limited data under contractual safeguards. We may disclose information when required by Canadian law enforcement or regulatory authorities. No sale or marketing of visitor data occurs.

International Transfers

Some technical processors may be located outside Canada. When transfers occur we rely on contractual clauses and adequacy assessments consistent with PIPEDA to protect the data at a comparable level of protection.

Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained for twelve months to allow follow-up, then securely deleted. Consent records for cookies are kept for two years. Retention periods may be extended only when required to resolve disputes or meet legal obligations.

Security and Data Minimisation

We apply standard technical measures including encryption in transit and restricted access controls. Data collection is minimised to what is strictly needed for each purpose. No absolute guarantee against all possible incidents is made.

Your Data Subject Rights

Under PIPEDA you may request access to your personal data, correction of inaccuracies, or withdrawal of consent. To exercise these rights please contact us using the details provided above or through the contact form. We will respond within thirty days.

Withdrawing Consent and Objecting to Processing

Consent for cookies can be withdrawn at any time via the banner settings. Objections to further contact may be submitted through the same form. Marketing or profiling activities are not conducted on this site.

Right to Complain

If you are unsatisfied with our response you may file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at their official address or through their online portal.

Children and Age Restrictions

The website content is intended for a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under thirteen years of age. Parents or guardians who believe such data has been submitted should contact us for prompt removal.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
