Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 25, 2026
Identity and Role of the Data Controller
storyboardfy.net operates this non-commercial informational website focused on capturing ordinary situations, interesting places and everyday human interactions. storyboardfy.net acts as the data controller under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) for any personal information collected through the site.
Scope of This Notice
This privacy policy applies to all visitors to the website who interact with its contact form or cookie banner. It covers individuals located in Canada and explains how personal information is handled when using the site.
Categories of Personal Data and Sources
The site collects limited personal information primarily through the contact form, including name and any details voluntarily provided in messages. Additional data such as IP address, browser type and device information may be obtained automatically via cookies and similar technologies. No data is collected from third-party sources.
Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases
Personal information is processed for the following purposes: responding to inquiries submitted via the contact form, which relies on legitimate interest; operating essential site functions and maintaining security, based on legitimate interest; and managing cookie preferences in accordance with applicable consent requirements. Each purpose is limited to what is necessary for the stated activity.
Requirement to Provide Data
Providing personal information through the contact form is voluntary. If you choose not to supply the requested details, storyboardfy.net may be unable to respond to your inquiry. Use of the site without submitting the form does not require any personal information.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enable basic functionality and remember user preferences. A site-wide cookie banner allows visitors to manage consent. For detailed information, please refer to the separate Cookie Policy available on the site.
Processors, Recipients and Disclosures
Personal information may be shared with trusted service providers who assist with website hosting, form processing and analytics. These providers are contractually bound to protect the data. Disclosures may also occur when required by law or to protect legal rights.
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 line with PIPEDA requirements.
Retention Periods
Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to address the inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping purposes. Automatically collected technical data is kept for a limited time to support site security and performance analysis, typically no longer than twelve months.
Security and Data Minimisation
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are implemented to safeguard personal information against unauthorised access or loss. The site collects only the minimum data required for its non-commercial purposes and avoids unnecessary storage.
Data Subject Rights
Under PIPEDA you have the right to access your personal information, request corrections, and withdraw consent where applicable. To exercise these rights, please use the contact form on the Contacts page. Requests will be addressed within the timelines set by Canadian law.
Withdrawal of Consent and Objection to Marketing
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time through the cookie banner or by contacting the site operator. The site does not engage in direct marketing or profiling activities.
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 details for the Commissioner are available on their official website.
Children and Age Restrictions
The website is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of thirteen. If it becomes apparent that data from a child has been collected without appropriate consent, it will be deleted promptly.
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
The site does not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.
Policy Changes
This privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in practices or legal requirements. The effective date of the current version appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
