Privacy Policy

MZ Studio ("we", "us", "our") provides wedding photography and cinematography in Toronto, the GTA and beyond. This policy explains what personal information we collect through mzstudio.ca and while working with you, how we use it, and the choices you have. We handle personal information in line with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you fill out our inquiry form, email, call or text us, or book our services, we may collect:

• Your name and your partner's name
• Email address and phone number
• Wedding date(s), venues, event details, guest count and budget
• Anything else you choose to share about your celebrations
• Billing details needed to issue agreements, invoices and receipts

Photos and video. When we cover your events, we capture images and footage of you, your family and your guests.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our site and the services it uses may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device and the pages you visit.

How we use your information

• To reply to your inquiry and check availability for your date
• To prepare proposals, service agreements and invoices
• To plan, photograph and film your events and deliver your final photos and films
• To keep in touch about your booking
• To keep our records and meet our legal and tax obligations

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

Services we use

We share information only with trusted providers who help us run our business, and only as needed:

• HoneyBook powers our inquiry form and helps us manage client communication, agreements and invoices. HoneyBook also loads a small tracking pixel on our contact page. See HoneyBook's privacy policy.
• Payment processors handle online payments. We do not store your full card details.
• Google Fonts supplies the fonts on our site, so your browser connects to Google's servers when pages load.
• YouTube hosts our wedding films. Watching an embedded film connects you to YouTube, which may set its own cookies.
• Our website host stores our site and may keep standard server logs.

Some of these providers may store or process information outside Canada, including in the United States, where it may be subject to local laws.

Cookies

The third-party services listed above may use cookies or similar technologies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features, such as the inquiry form or embedded films, may not work properly without them.

Your photos and our portfolio

We may share selected photos and films from your wedding on our website, social media and in our marketing, as set out in your Service Agreement. If you would prefer that we do not share your images, or want a specific image taken down, email us and we will do our best to remove it from the channels we control.

How long we keep information

We keep your information only as long as we need it for the purposes above, including delivering your photos and films and meeting legal, tax and accounting requirements. When it is no longer needed, we delete it or make it anonymous.

How we protect it

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including secure tools and limited access. No method of storing or sending information online is completely secure, but we work to keep your information safe.

Your choices and rights

You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or withdraw your consent to how we use it (subject to legal or contractual limits). To make a request, contact us using the details below. If you have a concern we haven't resolved, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
