Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2, 2026

Identity and Role of the Data Controller

sceneflixra.info acts as the data controller under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) for personal information collected through this commercial website focused on people and everyday life stories behind everyday moments. We determine the purposes and means of processing personal information submitted by visitors and users in Canada.

Scope of This Notice

This notice applies to all individuals who interact with our website, including those who submit stories, contact us via the form on our Contacts page, or engage with any features related to everyday life narratives. It covers residents of Canada and explains how we handle personal information in accordance with applicable federal and provincial privacy laws.

Categories of Personal Data Collected

We obtain personal data directly from you when you use the contact form or submit content. Categories include contact details you provide such as name and message content, technical data like browser type and IP address collected automatically, and any story details or personal anecdotes you choose to share. Sources are limited to your voluntary submissions and standard website logs; we do not purchase or obtain data from third-party brokers.

Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing

Processing occurs for the following purposes with corresponding legal bases under PIPEDA: responding to inquiries through the contact form for legitimate business interests; operating the site and delivering content about everyday moments based on consent where applicable; improving site functionality through analytics under legitimate interests; and complying with legal obligations such as record-keeping. Each purpose is explained plainly so you understand the practical use of your information.

Requirement to Provide Data

Providing personal information is voluntary. If you choose not to supply details via the contact form, we may be unable to respond to your message. Refusing to share story content does not affect your ability to browse the site, though certain interactive features may be limited.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain site functionality and remember preferences. Details are set out in our separate Cookie Policy, which you can access through the site-wide cookie banner. The banner allows you to manage consent preferences at any time.

Processors, Recipients and Disclosures

Personal information may be shared with service providers such as hosting platforms, analytics tools, and form processors that act on our instructions. Categories include IT support and cloud storage providers. We disclose information only when required by law, such as in response to valid court orders, or to protect our rights in legal proceedings.

International Transfers

Some service providers may be located outside Canada. When transfers occur, we use contractual safeguards and rely on adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses to protect your information in line with PIPEDA requirements.

Retention Periods

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined: contact form data for up to two years after the last interaction; technical logs for twelve months; and story submissions for the duration the content remains published or until you request removal. Criteria include legal retention obligations and the need to resolve disputes.

Security and Data Minimisation

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures, including encryption for data in transit and access controls, to protect personal information. We minimise collection to what is needed for each purpose and regularly review our practices, though no system can guarantee complete security against all threats.

Your Data Subject Rights

Under PIPEDA you have rights to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal information. To exercise these rights, use the contact form on our Contacts page and describe your request clearly. We will respond within the timelines required by law and verify your identity before acting.

Withdrawing Consent and Objecting to Marketing

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by submitting a request through the contact form. You may also object to any direct marketing or profiling activities by contacting us the same way. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before the withdrawal.

Right to Complain

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Contact information for the Commissioner is available on their official website.

Children and Age Restrictions

Our site is not directed to individuals under the age of thirteen. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that data from a child has been submitted, we will delete it promptly upon verification.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or significant effects on individuals. Any analytics used are for internal site improvement only and do not involve solely automated decisions about you.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in law or practices. The effective date appears at the top. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
