3. THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS

Amelia Ellis Photography may use trusted third-party platforms and service providers to operate the business and provide services to clients.

These may include website hosting, client-management software, online gallery providers, payment processors, email providers, analytics services, cloud storage, accounting software, and similar business tools.

For example, information submitted while inquiring about or booking photography services may be processed through third-party platforms used by Amelia Ellis Photography for client communication, contracts, invoices, questionnaires, scheduling, or gallery delivery.

These third parties maintain their own privacy and security practices. Some service providers may process or store information outside of Canada and, where applicable, information may therefore be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed.

4. PHOTOGRAPHS & CLIENT IMAGES

Photographs created during a photography session or event may constitute personal information depending on the circumstances.

The use of client photographs for portfolio, website, social media, advertising, publication, or promotional purposes will be governed by the applicable photography agreement, model release, or other consent provided by the client.

This Privacy Policy does not override the terms of an individual photography agreement.

5. COOKIES & WEBSITE ANALYTICS

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to help the website function properly and understand how visitors interact with it.

Cookies may collect information about website traffic, browsing activity, device information, and visitor interactions.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of portions of the website.

6. HOW INFORMATION IS PROTECTED

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Canadian privacy guidance requires businesses subject to PIPEDA to use appropriate safeguards for personal information and to limit collection to information reasonably necessary for identified purposes.

7. RETENTION OF INFORMATION

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain legitimate business records, satisfy legal, tax, or accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Information that is no longer reasonably required will be deleted, destroyed, or anonymized where appropriate.

8. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

You may contact Amelia Ellis Photography to ask about the personal information we hold about you or request that inaccurate information be corrected, subject to applicable legal requirements and exceptions.

PIPEDA includes principles relating to individual access, accuracy, accountability, openness, and the ability to challenge an organization's compliance.

9. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

This website may contain links to third-party websites or services.

Amelia Ellis Photography is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of third-party websites. Visitors are encouraged to review the privacy policies of those websites before providing personal information.
