Website Hosting and Third-Party Services
My Website is created and hosted using Adobe Portfolio, a service provided by Adobe.
The Adobe Portfolio Contact Form allows visitors to submit information such as their name, email address and message, and allows the website owner to designate an email address to receive submissions.
Adobe operates its own systems and services in connection with Adobe Portfolio. Adobe's handling of information is also subject to Adobe's own privacy policies.
For more information about Adobe's privacy practices, please refer to Adobe's Privacy Policy.
Cookies, Analytics and Tracking
I do not knowingly use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or other third-party advertising or analytics services on my Website.
Because my Website is hosted on Adobe Portfolio, Adobe may use cookies or similar technologies as part of providing and operating its services.
I do not use these technologies for my own advertising or behavioural tracking.
If I add analytics, advertising, or other tracking technologies to the Website in the future, I will update this Privacy Policy as appropriate.
Disclosure of Personal Information
I generally use personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected.
I may disclose personal information to service providers where reasonably necessary to operate my Website, communicate with you, provide photography services, or maintain my business records.
I may also disclose information where required or permitted by law.
Storage and Transfer of Information
Some services I use to operate my business, including third-party technology or email providers, may process or store information outside British Columbia or Canada.
When personal information is handled by a service provider, I take reasonable steps to select and use services in a manner consistent with my obligations under applicable privacy law.
Security
I take reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures appropriate to the circumstances to protect personal information in my custody or control against unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or destruction.
No method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Retention
I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to provide services, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, or meet legal, tax, accounting or other applicable requirements.
When personal information is no longer required, I take reasonable steps to securely dispose of or destroy it.

Under applicable BC privacy law, you may request access to personal information about you that I hold, subject to applicable exceptions.
You may also request that inaccurate or incomplete personal information be corrected.
To make an access or correction request, please contact me in writing using the contact information below. I may need to verify your identity before providing access to personal information.
I will respond to requests in accordance with the requirements of applicable privacy law.
