Platforms such as Instagram may be used for business communications, portfolio presentation, and marketing activities.
 

These providers may have their own privacy policies governing how they process information.

We seek to limit the information shared with service providers to what is reasonably necessary and take steps required by applicable law to protect personal information.
 

We are not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third-party websites that visitors choose to access outside our services.

Access to personal information is limited to individuals who reasonably require it to provide services or fulfill authorized business purposes.
 

Although we take privacy and security seriously, no electronic storage or transmission system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
 

9. Retention and Deletion of Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal, accounting, contractual, and regulatory obligations.
 

Final Edited Photographs

Final edited photographs stored on our own devices and backups are retained for 90 days following delivery of the completed gallery, unless a longer retention period is required by law, a contractual obligation, or another lawful purpose.
 

After this period, photographs may be permanently deleted from our devices and backups in accordance with our retention practices.
 

Clients are responsible for downloading and securely backing up their delivered photographs.
 

The availability and retention of photographs hosted through third-party gallery platforms, including Pixieset, may differ and are subject to the applicable service settings and arrangements.
 

Client Records and Business Documents

Booking information, contracts, invoices, payment records, and relevant communications may be retained for the period necessary to administer services, maintain business records, resolve disputes, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
 

Website Inquiries

Information submitted through website inquiries is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for responding, providing services, maintaining appropriate records, or fulfilling other lawful purposes.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take appropriate steps to securely destroy or anonymize it, subject to applicable law.

We will obtain consent for disclosures where required by applicable law and apply appropriate safeguards to personal information shared with service providers.
 

11. International Processing and Transfers

Although Noura Burhan Photography operates from Montréal, Québec, some third-party providers may store or process personal information outside Québec or Canada.
 

This may include website hosting, gallery delivery, email, payment processing, and other technology services.
 

Where personal information is communicated outside Québec, we will take the measures required by applicable Québec privacy law, including conducting a privacy impact assessment where required and implementing appropriate contractual or other safeguards.

Certain requests may be subject to lawful exceptions, including obligations to preserve records.
 

13. Consent and Withdrawal

Where consent is required, we seek to ensure it is clear, informed, freely given, and specific to the intended purpose.
 

You may withdraw consent to certain uses or disclosures of your personal information by contacting us at nouraburhan@gmail.com.
 

Withdrawal of consent may affect our ability to provide services that require the information concerned.

Withdrawal does not necessarily require deletion of information that must be retained for legal, contractual, or other lawful purposes.
 

We will explain any relevant consequences or limitations when processing your request.
 

14. Children's Privacy

Our photography services may include children, particularly during weddings, family sessions, maternity sessions, and other celebrations.
 

We recognize the importance of protecting children's personal information.
 

Where required by law, we will obtain consent from a parent, legal guardian, or other legally authorized person before collecting, using, or disclosing a child's personal information.
 

We take particular care when considering the publication or promotional use of photographs featuring children.
 

Parents and legal guardians may contact us regarding privacy concerns involving their children.
 

15. Privacy Incidents and Data Breaches

If we become aware of a privacy or security incident involving personal information, we will assess the situation and take appropriate measures to limit potential harm.
 

Where required by applicable law, we will notify affected individuals and relevant privacy authorities, including Québec's Commission d'accès à l'information.
 

We will maintain records of confidentiality incidents as required by law.
 

16. External Websites and Links

Our website may contain links to external websites, social media platforms, booking systems, and online galleries.
 

These services may have their own privacy policies and practices.
 

We encourage visitors to review those policies before providing personal information.
 

This Privacy Policy does not govern independent third-party activities outside our control.
