Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 29, 2026.
Who We Are and Our Role as Data Controller
reportagera.com operates this informational website focused on travel stories told through photography, people and memorable places. We are based in Canada and act as the data controller for any personal information collected through the site. Our address is 214 - 20 Technology Drive, Saint John, NB E2K 0J4, Canada and our telephone number is +1 437-452-3308. We determine the purposes and means of processing personal data in accordance with Canadian privacy laws including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
Scope of This Privacy Policy
This notice applies to all visitors to the website regardless of location who interact with our content or contact forms. It covers personal information collected when you browse pages, submit a contact form or otherwise engage with the site. It does not apply to third-party websites that may be referenced indirectly through general discussion of travel destinations.
Categories of Personal Data and Their Sources
We collect personal data directly from you when you use the contact form. This includes your name, any message content you provide and contact details you choose to share. We may also collect technical information such as IP address, browser type and device information automatically through server logs. No data is obtained from third-party brokers or public records. The site does not enable user accounts, comments or reviews so additional categories such as profile pictures or review text are never collected.
Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases
We process contact-form data solely to respond to your inquiries about the travel stories presented on the site. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in maintaining communication with interested visitors. Technical log data is processed to ensure website security and functionality under the same legitimate-interest basis. We do not use data for marketing, profiling or any commercial purpose because the site operates on a non-commercial basis.
Whether Providing Data Is Required
Supplying information through the contact form is entirely voluntary. You may browse all stories and photography without providing any personal data. If you choose not to complete the form we simply cannot respond to your specific questions. No consequences arise beyond the inability to receive a reply.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The site uses only essential cookies required for basic functionality and security. These cookies do not track users across sites or create profiles. For full details on the specific cookies employed and how to manage them please refer to our separate Cookie Policy which is accessible from the site footer.
Processors, Recipients and Legal Disclosures
We may share limited technical data with hosting providers and security services that act as processors under strict contractual safeguards. We do not sell or rent personal information. Disclosure may occur if required by law such as in response to a valid court order or to protect the safety of individuals. No routine sharing with marketing partners or data brokers takes place.
International Data Transfers
Some technical processors may be located outside Canada. When personal data is transferred we rely on appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses approved under PIPEDA and equivalent protections. We do not transfer data to countries without adequate privacy frameworks unless such safeguards are in place.
Retention Periods
Contact-form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to address your inquiry and for a reasonable follow-up period not exceeding twelve months. Server logs containing technical data are kept for up to ninety days for security analysis before automatic deletion. No data is retained indefinitely.
Security and Data-Minimisation Practices
We implement reasonable technical measures such as encrypted connections and access controls to protect personal information. Data collection is limited to what is strictly needed for the stated purposes. While we strive to maintain strong protections no system can guarantee absolute security against all threats.
Your Rights Under Canadian Privacy Law
Under PIPEDA you have the right to access personal information we hold about you, to request correction of inaccuracies and to withdraw consent where consent was the basis of processing. You may also object to certain uses of your data. These rights can be exercised by contacting us using the details provided above.
How to Exercise Your Rights
To make a request please reach us through the contact form on our Contacts page or by telephone at +1 437-452-3308. We will respond within the timelines required by law and will verify your identity before releasing any information. No fee applies for standard requests.
Right to Complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner
If you are not satisfied with our response you have the right to file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Contact information for the Commissioner is available on their official website. We encourage you to contact us first so we may attempt to resolve any concerns directly.
Children and Age Restrictions
The website content is intended for a general adult audience interested in travel photography. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of thirteen. If we become aware that data from a child has been submitted we will delete it promptly.
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. All processing is manual and limited to responding to direct inquiries or maintaining site security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law or site operations. The effective date of the current version appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. Previous versions are not archived on the site.
