Privacy Policy

Introduction

Quockerwodger Media ("we", "us", "I") respects your privacy. This page explains what personal data we collect on https://quockerwodger.ca, why we collect it, how we use it, and your choices.

Information we collect

• Data you provide directly: name, email, phone, project details and any message you include in the contact form or emails.
• Automatically collected data: technical data such as IP address, browser, device, pages visited and referrer (used in analytics).
• Local data: theme preference saved to localStorage (dark/light switch) and any site cookies used by analytics or services.
• Event photography: photos taken at shoots or events — usage and publishing of photographs are handled separately (see Image use & consent below).

How we use your information

We use the data to:

• Respond to contact form enquiries and provide quotes or booking details.
• Improve site performance and analytics (see third parties below).
• Deliver requested services (photography, galleries, invoicing, communications).

Third parties & services

We use third-party services which may process personal data:

• Email form handling: EmailJS (sends contact form messages).
• Analytics: Umami (privacy-first analytics) collects anonymous site usage data.
• Social platforms: links to Instagram, LinkedIn, Behance — clicking those links sends you to those platforms (their privacy policies apply).

These services may operate outside Canada. Where relevant, we rely on their privacy/security practices; please review their policies for details.

Cookies & local storage

We use:

• Minimal cookies or storage for analytics and to remember your theme preference.
• You can clear cookies via your browser or disable them; note some site functions (like remembering dark mode) will not persist.

Image use & consent

Photographs taken by Quockerwodger Media are used according to agreements with the client. For event or candid photography, I will ask for permission to publish images in my portfolio and social channels. If you want an image removed from the site or social channels, email me (see contact below) and I will address your request promptly.

How long we keep data

Contact form submissions and related communications are kept as long as needed to provide services, for record-keeping and legal compliance. If you would like data deleted, see "Your rights" below.

Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure — if you have concerns, contact me directly (below).

Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data. To exercise these, email SpencerNakamura@quockerwodger.ca.

Children

This site is not intended for children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect changes.
