Privacy Policy for Creative Harmony With Luiza

This Privacy Policy explains how Creative Harmony With Luiza ("I", "me", or "my") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit the website (the "Website") or participate in any workshops, photo walks, or related events (the “Events”).

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


By registering for a Creative Harmony event, you acknowledge that some anonymized data—including your feedback, answers to quizzes, and photographs taken during the workshop—may be used for research on the benefits of therapeutic photography.

  • Consent: I will always ask for explicit consent before the event regarding:

    • The use of photographs you take,

    • Photographs that include you, and

    • Any written or verbal contributions (e.g., feedback, reflections, questionnaire responses).

  • Anonymization: All data used for research will be anonymized so that individual participants cannot be identified.

  • Opt-Out: You may choose to opt out of having your data used in research at any time before it is anonymized or included in publications by contacting creativeharmonywithluiza@gmail.com. Once data have been anonymized and included in research analyses or publications, they cannot be removed.

  • Respect and Privacy: Your participation in research is voluntary, and I will handle all contributions with care, respecting your privacy and comfort.

Your rights

  • Access the personal information I hold about you.

  • Request corrections to your personal information.

  • Withdraw your consent for future use of your personal data (e.g., unsubscribe from newsletters or opt out of being photographed in upcoming events).

  • Request that your personal data not be used for marketing or promotional purposes going forward.

Please note:

  • Requests to remove data that has already been anonymized, published, or included in project reports, research, or social media cannot be fulfilled, as anonymized data cannot be linked to individuals and published materials cannot be retroactively deleted.

  • To ensure your preferences are respected, please communicate any limitations or opt-outs before or at the start of an event.

You can exercise your rights by contacting me at 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.

Changes to This Policy

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.
