Privacy & Your Information

About This Privacy Notice

Stevo Shots is a wedding photography studio based in Toronto, Canada. This part explains what happens to the details you send us through the inquiry forms, the chat assistant and the Offers & Updates sign-up, and the rights you have over them. The website uses no cookies and no advertising trackers.

What We Collect

When you send an inquiry: your names, your email address, what you are inquiring about, your wedding date and your message — and, if you add them, your phone number, venue or city, the coverage you are interested in and how you found us.

To stop automated spam, a scrambled one-way fingerprint of your internet address is kept briefly and cleared within about a day. Your internet address itself is never stored.

Visit Statistics

The website counts visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and builds no profile of you: it records which pages are viewed, the referring site and a general location such as the country, so we can see how couples find the site. The map on our Contact page comes from Google Maps: when it appears, Google receives your visit and may set its own cookies, as described in Google’s privacy policy.

How We Use Your Information

Only to reply to your inquiry and arrange your photography, and — only if you ask for them — to send you offers and updates. Your details are never sold, and never shared with anyone for their marketing.

Where Your Information Is Stored

• Your inquiry is stored in a database hosted in Canada (Supabase, Canada Central region).
• A copy is emailed to Stevo Shots through Resend, an email delivery service in the United States, so your details pass through servers there.
• The website is served by Vercel, which keeps short-lived technical logs of visits.

How Long It Is Kept

Inquiries are deleted from the database automatically 24 months after they arrive. The notification email is kept in the Stevo Shots inbox as ordinary correspondence.

The Chat Assistant

The chat window on this website is an automated assistant, not a person. It answers from the information published on this website and can make mistakes; your written agreement and these terms are what count.

• When the AI is switched on, each message you send is passed, together with the earlier messages in the same chat, to Anthropic, the company that provides the AI model, so it can write a reply. Messages may be processed outside Canada, including in the United States, under Anthropic’s privacy policy.
• Stevo Shots does not store chat conversations. The conversation stays in your browser tab only and is cleared when you close the tab or start a new conversation.
• To stop misuse, a scrambled one-way fingerprint of your internet address is held briefly in the server’s memory to limit how many messages can be sent. It is never written down.
• Please don’t type personal details such as your email address, phone number or payment information into the chat itself. When the assistant can’t answer, it offers a short form for your name, email and (if you like) phone number: that form goes to the Stevo Shots team like an inquiry, not to the AI.

Offers & Updates

If you sign up on the Offers & Updates page (or tick the box in the chat), we send you offers and news by the means you chose: email, text message or both.

• We keep your name, email address, mobile number (only if you chose texts), the subjects you picked, and a record of what you agreed to, where and when, as Canada’s anti-spam law requires.
• Email sign-ups start only after you confirm from the link we send you. Sign-ups that are never confirmed are deleted after 30 days.
• Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can reply STOP to any text. Either takes effect straight away.
• The list is stored in the same Canadian database as inquiries. Emails are sent through Resend and text messages through Twilio, both in the United States.
• To stop misuse, a scrambled one-way fingerprint of your internet address is kept for one hour with a sign-up, then erased.

Your Choices and Rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information you have sent us, and withdraw any consent you have given (for example to offers, or to promotional use of your photographs) at any time. Email contact@stevoshots.com or call +1 (437) 535-8123, and we will respond within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your information, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
