This Privacy Policy describes how BrucePeterMorin.com ("this site," "I," "me") collects, uses, and handles information when you visit or interact with this website. This is a personal site — not a business, not a commercial service. It exists to share professional insights, photography, and industry perspectives. I take your privacy seriously and keep things simple.

Section 01

Who Runs This Site

This website is operated personally by Bruce Peter Morin, an individual based in the United States. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated on behalf of any employer or corporate entity. All views expressed here are my own.

For questions related to this Privacy Policy, you can reach me at: hello@brucepetermorin.com

Section 02

Information I Collect

This site collects only what is necessary to operate. Currently, the only active data collection occurs through the contact form. Here is what may be collected:

I do not collect sensitive personal data such as payment information, government ID numbers, health data, or location data beyond what your IP address may reveal generally.

Section 03

How I Use Your Information

Information collected through this site is used only for the following purposes:

I do not use your information for advertising, marketing campaigns, or any automated decision-making. I will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.

Section 04

Cookies & Tracking

This site does not currently use third-party tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or behavioral analytics tools. No data is shared with advertising networks.

If analytics tools are added in the future (such as Google Analytics or similar), this policy will be updated to reflect that and you will be notified through a cookie consent mechanism.

This section will be updated if and when analytics or advertising tools are integrated into this site.

Section 05

Third-Party Services

This site may rely on third-party services to function. These services have their own privacy policies and data practices:

I do not control the data practices of these third parties and encourage you to review their respective privacy policies if you have concerns.

Section 06

Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry. Server logs are typically retained for 30–90 days by the hosting provider.

I do not maintain a marketing database, mailing list, or CRM containing visitor information. If you would like your contact information removed, simply email me at hello@brucepetermorin.com and I will delete it.

Section 07

Your Rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. These may include the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, contact me directly at hello@brucepetermorin.com. I will respond within 30 days. This site is operated by an individual, not a corporation — I will handle all requests personally and promptly.

Section 08

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information through this site, please contact me and I will delete it immediately.

Section 09

External Links

This site may contain links to external websites — publications, social media platforms, or resources mentioned in Notepad posts. I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Clicking an external link takes you outside BrucePeterMorin.com and the practices of the destination site govern from that point forward.

Section 10

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time — particularly as this site grows and new tools or features are added. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Significant changes (such as the addition of analytics or advertising tools) will be called out clearly in the updated policy.
