Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. Introduction

Pixelle is a global art and storytelling project celebrating girls and women in sport. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect through pixelleportrait.com, how we use it, and the rights you have. Pixelle operates from Québec, Canada, and we handle personal information in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including Québec’s Law 25, Canada’s PIPEDA, and — for visitors in the European Union — the GDPR.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to run the project and communicate with you:

• Contact & participation details you provide directly — such as your name, email address, and any message or story you send us
• Content submissions — photographs or related content you choose to submit
• Usage data — anonymised statistics about how the site is used, collected through analytics cookies only if you consent

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to respond to your messages, manage your participation, create and share Pixelle artworks, understand and improve how the site performs, and — only where you have opted in — send you updates about the project. We do not sell your personal information.

4. Cookies & Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics cookies are loaded only after you give consent through our cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time. For full details on the cookies we use, see our Cookie Policy.

5. Sharing Your Information

We share personal information only with service providers that help us operate the site and the project — for example our website host and Google Analytics — and only to the extent needed to provide those services. We may also disclose information where required by law. We never sell your data.

6. Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, or as required by law, and then delete or anonymise it.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, to withdraw consent, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below and we will respond within the timeframes set by applicable law.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your data.

9. International Visitors

Pixelle is based in Canada, so your information is processed in Canada and may be handled by service providers located in other countries. Where required, we take steps to ensure your information continues to be protected.

10. Children’s Privacy

Young people are welcome to take part in Pixelle. Where a participant is under the age of majority, we ask that a parent or legal guardian provide consent before personal information or content is submitted.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above shows when it was last revised, and the current version always applies.
