What Information I Collect

1. Personal Information:
When you sign up for my newsletter, register for an event, or contact me, I may collect your name, email address, and any other details you choose to share.

2. Event Participation Data:
When registering for events, I may collect relevant information such as age range, camera preference (phone or camera), and accessibility needs—to ensure an inclusive and well-prepared experience.

3. Usage Data (Website):
Like many websites, I may collect non-personal information such as your IP address, browser type, time spent on the Website, and pages visited to better understand how the site is being used.

How I Use Your Information

I collect and use your personal data in order to:

  • Communicate with you about upcoming workshops, photo walks, or relevant creative opportunities

  • Provide resources such as workshop guides, follow-up emails, or print material (if applicable)

  • Improve the Website, events, and creative services I offer

  • Share occasional news, blog posts, or promotional emails (only if you have given consent)

  • Use anonymized insights (e.g. quiz responses, feedback, or non-identifiable photographs) to help evaluate and share the impact of my work through research, presentations, or creative health projects (with your consent)

Use of Data for Research Purposes
Some anonymized data collected through registration forms, feedback surveys, quizzes, and workshop participation (including photographs, written reflections, or other shared material) may be used for research purposes related to art, well-being, and therapeutic photography. This may include academic presentations, research papers, or professional sharing within the creative health field.

Personal data will be treated with care and respect. Identifiable information (such as names, faces in photographs, or specific quotes) will only be used with your explicit consent. You can opt out of having your data used in research at any time by contacting creativeharmonywithluiza@gmail.com .

Security

I take appropriate steps to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Event Privacy Note

By registering for one of my events (such as well-being photo walks), you consent to the use of your contact details for communication related to the event, including reminders, updates, and follow-up materials.
Please note: Some responses, shared photographs, or feedback may be used—anonymously or with consent—for research, artistic documentation, or to help improve future workshops. You will always have the option to opt out or request not to have your data included in any public materials.

Sensitive Personal Information

In some cases—such as during event registration, workshop participation, or course evaluations—you may choose to share sensitive personal information, such as details about your health, emotional well-being, or accessibility needs.

This information will always be:

  • Treated with strict confidentiality and care

  • Collected only when relevant to improving your experience or evaluating the effectiveness of the program

  • Stored securely and accessible only to those directly involved in the planning or delivery of the activity

We will never share your sensitive information with third parties without your explicit written consent, except in exceptional circumstances (for example, if there is a serious risk of self-harm or harm to others).

Sensitive data collected through feedback or course-related forms may be retained for up to 3 years or as long as necessary to fulfill the intended purpose (such as evaluation or program development). After this period, it will be securely deleted in accordance with responsible data handling practices.

This policy may be updated occasionally to reflect changes in services, laws, or privacy practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a clear revision date.
