Privacy Policy

Person responsible

Amy Grauer is responsible for protecting personal information. Contact: info@amygrauer.com · 4789 boulevard des Sources, Pierrefonds (Québec) H8Y 3C6

What we collect

• Contact details you send through our forms (name, email, phone, message)
• Booking and contract details
• Photographs taken during your session
• Payment confirmations (card details are handled by the payment provider)

Why we collect it

To respond to inquiries, book and deliver sessions, and, with your consent, show images in our portfolio. You can ask Amy not to use your images in her portfolio.

Retention

Client records, including your inquiries and booking details, are kept for as long as you remain a client, since many clients come back for future sessions. Inquiries from people who do not book a session are not kept; they are deleted. Session images are kept for a minimum of 12 months. You can ask us to delete your information at any time by writing to info@amygrauer.com.

Who can access it

Only Amy and the service providers needed to run the business (website host, gallery provider, payment processor). Some may store data outside Québec.

Your rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information, and withdraw consent at any time, by writing to info@amygrauer.com.

Cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are needed for the site to work; others help us understand how the site is used or come from services we embed.

Analytics

We use StatCounter to count visits and see which pages are viewed, how visitors found the site, and their approximate location (city or region, based on the IP address). StatCounter is only loaded if you click Accept in the cookie banner. We use this information only for statistics. StatCounter sets sc_is_visitor_unique (2 years) and may set is_unique (5 years) to tell first-time visitors from returning ones. These cookies contain a random ID, not your name or contact details. You can refuse StatCounter cookies on StatCounter’s opt-out page.

Third-party services

• Google reCAPTCHA protects our contact forms from spam. Google collects information about your device and how you use the page, and may set cookies.
• Google Fonts loads the fonts used on the site. Your browser sends your IP address to Google, but no cookies are set.
• Facebook and Instagram: our Instagram feed shows images from Meta, and the Messenger and Instagram message buttons open a conversation on Meta’s platforms. Meta may set cookies when you use them, especially if you are logged in, and handles messages you send there under its own privacy policy.

These services are based outside Québec, mainly in the United States, and handle information under their own privacy policies.

Your choices

You can change your choice at any time with the cookie settings link. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may stop the contact forms or language selection from working properly. For questions about cookies, write to info@amygrauer.com.
