Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

NZM Media ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

1. Information We Collect

  • Contact details you provide — name, email, phone number, and location.
  • Booking details — session type, date, package, and any preferences you share.
  • Photographs taken during your session or event.
  • Payment information processed by our payment provider (we do not store full card numbers).
  • Basic website usage data such as pages visited (if analytics are enabled).

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To plan, deliver, and follow up on your photography session or event.
  • To communicate about bookings, scheduling, payments, and gallery delivery.
  • To process payments and keep records required for tax and accounting.
  • To improve our services and, with your consent, for portfolio and promotion.

3. Your Images

Your photographs are delivered through a private online gallery. We may feature selected images in our portfolio and on social media for promotional purposes. If you prefer your images stay private, tell us in writing before your session and we will honour your request.

4. Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers necessary to run our business — for example, our online gallery host and payment processor — and only as needed to deliver the service. These providers are bound to protect your information.

5. Data Retention

We keep your booking and contact records for as long as needed to provide our services and meet legal and tax obligations. Galleries remain online for a limited period communicated at delivery; please download and back up your images. We may keep archival copies of delivered images unless you ask us to delete them.

6. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information and images against loss, theft, and unauthorized access. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your data.

7. Your Rights

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or request its deletion, subject to legal requirements. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

8. Cookies & Analytics

Our website may use basic cookies or analytics to understand how visitors use the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

9. Children

Where a session involves minors, we collect and use their images only with the consent of a parent or guardian.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version, with its "last updated" date, is always available on this page.
