We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Booking and order records are typically retained for a minimum of seven years to comply with Canadian tax and business record-keeping requirements. Photographic and video content delivered to clients is retained on our servers for a reasonable period to allow for re-delivery or re-licensing requests, after which it may be archived or deleted.

8. How We Protect Your Information

We implement reasonable physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. This includes secure payment processing through PCI-compliant third-party processors, encrypted data transmission, and restricted access to personal information within our organization. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
