Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 25, 2026.

Identity and Role of the Data Controller

celehubvo.net operates this non-commercial informational website focused on documentary-style photography capturing ordinary people, places, and everyday situations. We act as the data controller under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) of Canada, determining the purposes and means of processing any personal information collected through the site.

Scope of This Notice

This privacy policy applies to all visitors to the website, including individuals in Canada who access our content or use the contact form. It covers personal information processed when you interact with the site, view photography collections, or submit inquiries via the contact form. It does not apply to offline activities or third-party websites linked elsewhere.

Categories of Personal Data and Sources

We collect limited personal information primarily through the contact form, including your name, any message content you provide, and technical data such as IP address and browser type automatically logged when you visit. No data is obtained from third-party sources or public records. The photography content itself does not involve collection of personal data about depicted individuals beyond publicly visible scenes.

Purpose-by-Purpose Explanation of Processing and Legal Basis

Processing occurs for responding to contact form inquiries under the legal basis of legitimate interests and consent where applicable. Site analytics for improving user experience rely on legitimate interests. Compliance with legal obligations forms the basis for any required record-keeping. Each purpose is limited to what is necessary for the non-commercial operation of the photography information site.

Whether Providing Data Is Required and Consequences

Providing information through the contact form is voluntary. Not supplying details may prevent us from responding to your inquiry, but it will not affect your ability to browse the photography content. Technical data is collected automatically upon site access.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The site uses cookies and similar technologies for basic functionality and analytics. Details are provided in our separate Cookie Policy, which explains how to manage preferences through your browser settings.

Processors, Service Providers, Recipients and Disclosures Required by Law

We may engage service providers such as hosting companies and analytics platforms to support site operations. These processors receive only necessary data under contractual safeguards. Personal information may be disclosed if required by Canadian law, such as in response to valid legal requests from authorities.

International Transfers and Safeguards

Some service providers may be located outside Canada, potentially resulting in transfers to jurisdictions like the United States. We use appropriate safeguards, including contractual clauses, to protect data in line with PIPEDA requirements when such transfers occur.

Specific Retention Periods or Criteria

Contact form data is retained only as long as needed to address your inquiry, typically up to one year. Technical logs are kept for a short period, usually 30 days, for security and site improvement purposes. Criteria for longer retention include legal obligations or ongoing legitimate interests in site maintenance.

Security and Data-Minimisation Practices

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, including encryption for form submissions where feasible. Data collection is minimized to what is strictly necessary for the site's informational purpose, avoiding unnecessary storage of details from photography viewers.

Data Subject Rights and Practical Exercise Method

Under PIPEDA, you have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. To exercise these, contact us using the details on our Contacts page or the provided phone and address placeholders. We will respond within the timelines set by Canadian law.

Right to Withdraw Consent and Object to Direct Marketing or Profiling

Where consent is the basis for processing, you may withdraw it at any time by notifying us. The site does not engage in direct marketing or profiling activities, so no related objections are applicable.

Right to Complain to the Competent Supervisory Authority

If you are unsatisfied with our handling of your personal information, you may file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, the relevant authority for federal privacy matters under PIPEDA.

Children or Age Restrictions

The website is intended for a general audience and does not target children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware of such collection, it will be deleted promptly.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

No automated decision-making or profiling occurs on this site. All processing involves manual review where personal data is involved, such as responding to contact inquiries.

Policy Changes and Effective Date

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in practices or legal requirements. The last updated date appears at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
