Last Updated: January 15, 2024
Bold-star is committed to protecting the personal data of individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA) in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This page provides additional information about your rights under GDPR and how we process your personal data.
Bold-star acts as the data controller for personal data collected through our website and services. Our contact information is:
Bold-star
1055 West Georgia Street, Suite 400
Vancouver, BC V6E 3P3, Canada
Email: [email protected]
We process personal data under the following legal bases as defined by GDPR:
Where you have provided explicit consent for specific processing activities, such as receiving marketing communications or accepting non-essential cookies.
Where processing is necessary to perform a contract with you, such as when you book a photography tour or submit an inquiry about our services.
Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided those interests do not override your fundamental rights. Our legitimate interests include operating and improving our website and services, preventing fraud, and ensuring network security.
Where processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject.
If you are located in the EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge within one month of receiving your request.
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data we hold about you without undue delay.
You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes.
Where we process your personal data based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that our processing of your personal data violates GDPR.
To exercise any of the rights described above, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month. If your request is complex or if we receive a large number of requests, we may extend this period by two additional months, in which case we will inform you.
To protect your privacy, we may ask you to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
As Bold-star is based in Canada, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in Canada. Canada has been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection.
If we transfer your data to countries that have not been recognized as providing adequate protection, we will implement appropriate safeguards to protect your data.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The retention period depends on the context of the processing and our legal obligations.
We do not use automated decision-making, including profiling, in a way that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
We may update this GDPR information from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
