Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 29, 2026.

Identity and Role of the Data Controller

storyfrontxa.com operates this website as the data controller under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). We determine the purposes and means of processing personal information collected through the site, which focuses on travel stories told through photography, people, and memorable places. As a non-commercial informational resource, our activities centre on providing content rather than commercial transactions.

Scope of This Notice

This policy applies to all visitors to the website, regardless of location, who interact with our content or contact forms. It covers personal information processed when you browse pages, submit inquiries via the contact form, or engage with any site features. It does not extend to third-party websites linked from our pages.

Categories of Personal Data and Sources

We collect limited personal information directly from you when you use the contact form, such as your name and any details you voluntarily provide in messages. Additional data may include technical information like IP addresses, browser type, and device identifiers gathered automatically through server logs. No data is obtained from third-party sources or public records.

Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases

Personal information is processed for the following purposes: responding to inquiries submitted through the contact form on the basis of legitimate interests in maintaining communication; analysing site usage to improve content quality under legitimate interests; and complying with legal obligations where required. Each purpose is limited to what is necessary for the non-commercial operation of the site.

Requirement to Provide Data

Providing personal information is voluntary. You may browse the site without submitting any data. However, if you choose not to provide information through the contact form, we may be unable to respond to your specific inquiry. No consequences arise for simply viewing content.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for basic functionality and analytics. Details on the types of cookies, their purposes, and how to manage preferences are set out in the separate Cookie Policy, which is accessible from the site-wide cookie banner.

Processors, Recipients and Disclosures

Service providers such as hosting platforms and analytics tools may process data on our behalf under contractual safeguards. Personal information is not sold or shared for marketing purposes. Disclosures may occur if required by law, such as in response to valid legal requests from Canadian authorities.

International Transfers

Some service providers may be located outside Canada. When personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards such as contractual clauses are used to protect the data in accordance with PIPEDA requirements.

Retention Periods

Contact form data is retained only for the period necessary to address your inquiry, typically up to one year. Log data is kept for up to two years for security and site improvement purposes. Criteria for longer retention include legal obligations or ongoing disputes.

Security and Data Minimisation

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are implemented to protect personal information against unauthorised access or loss. Data collection is minimised to what is essential for the stated purposes, and unnecessary information is not requested or stored.

Data Subject Rights

Under PIPEDA you have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details on the Contacts page or the provided telephone number 587-998-2416 and address West Hillhurst, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We will respond within the timelines required by law.

Withdrawal of Consent and Objection to Marketing

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by notifying us through the contact form. The site does not engage in direct marketing or profiling, so no separate objection mechanism is required.

Right to Complain

If you believe your personal information has been handled improperly, you may file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Contact information for the Commissioner is available on their official website.

Children and Age Restrictions

The site is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13. If we become aware that such data has been collected, it will be deleted promptly.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

No automated decision-making or profiling occurs on this website. All processing involves human review where decisions affecting individuals are concerned.

Policy Changes

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in practices or legal requirements. The effective date of the current version is September 29, 2026. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
