Privacy Policy

Effective date: January 1, 2026

Bret Culp Photography (“we,” “us”) respects your privacy and collects only the personal information needed to respond to enquiries, manage email sign-ups, and administer tours/workshops.

1) What we collect

We may collect:

• Contact details you provide (for example: name, email address, phone number).

• Information you submit in messages or forms (for example: questions, preferences, or other details you choose to share).

• Basic technical data generated when you use the site (for example: IP address, device/browser information, and pages viewed), typically through cookies or similar technologies.

2) How we use your information

We use personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries and provide requested information.

• Manage newsletter and tour updates you have opted into, including unsubscribes.

• Administer tour/workshop communications and logistics (for example: pre-trip updates, documentation, and coordination).

• Maintain site security, prevent fraud, and troubleshoot technical issues.

• Meet legal, tax, or accounting obligations when applicable.

3) Email and marketing communications

If you subscribe to updates, we will send you emails related to the topics you opted into (for example: photography news, print updates, or Ireland tour updates). You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our emails.

4) Cookies and analytics

Our website and service providers may use cookies or similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.

If we run advertising campaigns (for example, Meta/Facebook/Instagram), those platforms may collect or receive information to deliver and measure ads. Your interactions with those platforms are also governed by their own policies and settings.

5) Service providers and sharing

We use trusted service providers to run our website and communications. This can include:

• Squarespace (website hosting and site functionality)

• MailerLite (email distribution and list management)

• Meta (Facebook/Instagram) (advertising and/or lead forms, if used)

We share personal information with service providers only as needed to deliver the services above. Some providers may process data outside Canada.

6) Tour/workshop administration (if you join a tour)

If you book or apply for a tour/workshop, we may collect additional details necessary to deliver the service (for example: emergency contact information or other logistics). If we need to share limited information with third-party vendors (for example: accommodations or transport) to provide the tour, we will do so only when necessary and only for that purpose.

7) Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, and then delete or anonymize it when it is no longer needed, subject to legal or accounting requirements.

8) Access, corrections, and questions

You can request access to the personal information we hold about you, or request corrections. To do so, contact:
