This Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how the personal information you provide is collected and used and to assist you in making informed decisions when using this website.

What Information Do We Collect?

When you visit this website you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and website use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse the site.

Email Information

If you choose to correspond through email or the website contact form, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses.

Web Site Use Information

Similar to other commercial websites, this website utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and Web server logs to collect information about how our website is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our website, and the websites visited just before and just after this website. In addition, small pieces of code called “web beacons” or “clear gifs” may be used to determine which advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users responded to them.

How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?

Broadly speaking, personal information is used for the purposes of administering and expanding business activities, providing customer service and making available other products and services to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by sending an email to janice@janiceyiphotography.ca.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?

Cookies, in conjunction with Web server log files, allow for the ability to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting this website and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback in order to constantly improve our website and better serve our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not generally store any personal information that you provided to us in your cookies.

Notice of New Services and Changes

Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. You will be given the opportunity to express your desire not to receive these offers by sending an email request to janice@janiceyiphotography.ca
