Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 2026

At Max Fomin Photography (https://maxfominphoto.ca), I value your privacy as much as I value your trust. This policy outlines how I collect, use, and protect your personal information.

1. Information I Collect

I collect only the information necessary to provide you with professional photography services and a seamless website experience:

• Contact Information: Name, email address, and phone number provided via my contact form or direct email.
• Project Details: Wedding dates, venue locations, and property addresses for hospitality projects.
• Technical Data: Cookies and usage data (IP address, browser type) via my website host to help me understand how visitors interact with my site.

2. How I Use Your Information

Your data is used strictly for business purposes, including:

• Responding to your inquiries and sending the Welcome Guide.
• Fulfilling contracts and delivering digital galleries.
• Internal bookkeeping and tax purposes.
• Occasionally sharing my own updates or portfolio news (you can opt-out at any time).

3. Data Sharing & Third Parties

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. To run my business, I share necessary data with trusted service providers:

• Gallery Hosting: Private galleries are hosted through secure third-party platforms for client delivery.
• Cloud Storage: Backups of your images are stored on secure, encrypted cloud servers.
• Legal Requirements: I will only disclose information if required by Canadian law or to protect my legal rights.

4. Image Privacy & Portfolio Usage

By default, I share my latest work on my website and social media to showcase my documentary style.

• Portraits/Weddings: If you prefer your session to remain private, please notify me in writing prior to our shoot.
• Hospitality: Commercial projects are used for portfolio purposes unless a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is signed.

5. Security

I take reasonable precautions to protect your data. While no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, I use industry-standard encryption and secure platforms for all communications and image storage.

6. Your Rights

Under Canadian privacy laws, you have the right to:.

• Request that I correct or delete your personal data.
• Withdraw consent for marketing communications.

7. Cookies
