Data Disclosure

Last Updated: 2025-11-15

At Verity Weddings, your privacy matters. This page explains your rights regarding the handling of personal information and clarifies that we do not sell or trade personal data to any third parties. While Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA) does not specifically use the terminology “Do Not Sell My Personal Information,” we provide this page in the spirit of transparency and international privacy standards, including consumer-protection practices reflected in the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

We value your trust. We operate with integrity and believe your personal information should remain private, safe, and used only to serve your wedding photography needs.

Our Commitment

Verity Weddings does not:

  • Sell your personal information
  • Share your information with marketing companies for profit
  • Exchange personal data in return for services, advertising, or analytics
  • Track or compile user browsing profiles for sale
  • Sell visitor cookie data or device identifiers
  • Monetize your personal data in any way

We gather personal information only for the purpose of responding to inquiries, fulfilling contracted services, managing photography bookings, and delivering final images to clients.

Your Rights Under Canada’s Privacy Laws

While Canada does not use the “Do Not Sell” terminology, you still have broad rights under PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), including:

  • The right to access your personal information
  • The right to request corrections
  • The right to withdraw consent where applicable
  • The right to inquire how your data is used or stored
  • The right to request that certain information be deleted when legally allowed

We honour these rights and offer clear communication channels for privacy-related requests.

Your Rights If You Are Located Outside Canada

If you are a visitor from the United States, European Union, or other regions with specific data-opt-out laws, this page also serves to confirm your rights as they relate to international privacy models.

For example, under laws such as:

  • CCPA/CPRA (California)
  • GDPR (European Union)
  • VDPA (Virginia)
  • Other privacy legislation emerging worldwide

You retain the right to request transparency and control over your data. Verity Weddings voluntarily aligns with these standards to support global privacy best practices.
