Privacy Policy

Last updated on September 28, 2026.

Who We Are and Our Role

celezonexa.org operates this non-commercial informational website focused on exploring daily life through photographs of familiar city locations, public spaces, and the people who use them. We act as the data controller under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) for any personal information collected through the site. Our address is 524 2 St SE, Medicine Hat, AB T1A 0C6, Canada and our telephone contact is (403) 504-7101.

Scope of This Notice

This privacy policy applies to all visitors to the website regardless of their location, with particular attention to individuals in Canada. It covers information collected when you browse pages, submit the contact form on our Contacts page, or interact with any site features. It does not cover third-party websites that may be referenced indirectly through general discussion of public photography practices.

Categories of Personal Data Collected

We collect minimal personal information primarily through the contact form. This includes your name, any message content you provide, and technical data such as IP address and browser type obtained automatically when you visit. No photographs or user-generated images are uploaded or stored by visitors on this site. Sources of data are limited to direct input from you and standard server logs.

Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases

Personal data is processed for the following purposes: responding to inquiries submitted via the contact form under the legal basis of legitimate interest and consent where applicable; maintaining basic site analytics to understand visitor engagement under legitimate interest; and complying with legal obligations such as record keeping. Each purpose is evaluated to ensure processing remains proportionate to the non-commercial nature of the site.

Requirement to Provide Data

Providing personal information through the contact form is entirely voluntary. If you choose not to supply details, we simply cannot respond to your message. No other areas of the site require personal data submission, and refusing to provide information has no impact on your ability to view the photographic content.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for essential functions and limited analytics. Details about specific cookies, their duration, and your options for managing them are set out in the separate Cookie Policy referenced by the site-wide cookie banner. You may adjust browser settings to limit these technologies at any time.

Service Providers and Data Recipients

We engage limited service providers such as hosting companies and form-processing platforms that act as processors. These entities receive only the data necessary to perform their functions and are bound by contractual safeguards. Disclosures may occur when required by law, such as in response to valid legal requests from Canadian authorities. No sale or commercial sharing of personal data takes place.

International Transfers

Some processors may be located outside Canada. When personal data is transferred internationally we rely on appropriate safeguards including contractual clauses that ensure a level of protection comparable to PIPEDA requirements. You may request further information about these safeguards by contacting us.

Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained only for as long as needed to address your inquiry and for a reasonable follow-up period not exceeding two years. Server logs are kept for security and operational purposes for a maximum of twelve months. Criteria for retention include legal obligations, dispute resolution needs, and the non-commercial operational requirements of the site.

Security and Data Minimisation

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures including encrypted connections and restricted access to any stored data. Data minimisation is practiced by collecting only information necessary for the stated purposes. While we strive to protect personal information, no system can guarantee absolute security against all threats.

Your Data Subject Rights

Under PIPEDA you have rights to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal information where applicable. You may also withdraw consent previously given. To exercise these rights please use the contact form on the Contacts page or telephone (403) 504-7101. We will respond within the timelines required by law.

Withdrawing Consent and Objecting to Processing

Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time by notifying us through the contact methods described above. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests, including any form of profiling, although this site does not engage in direct marketing or automated profiling activities.

Right to Complain

If you believe your privacy rights have been infringed you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Contact details for the Commissioner are available on their official website. We encourage you to contact us first so we may attempt to resolve any concerns directly.

Age Restrictions

The site content is intended for a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of thirteen. If we become aware that data from a child has been submitted we will delete it promptly.

Automated Decision-Making

This website does not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. Any analytics performed are aggregate only and do not single out visitors for automated decisions.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in practices or legal requirements. The effective date of the current version appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
