Privacy Policy

Greg Foret (“I”, “me”, “my”, “Greg Foret”, or “the Website”) operates the website https://gregforet.com as a solopreneur providing **visual narration consulting**, story coaching, narrative audits, workshops, and related creative services.

This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit the Website, book a call, contact me, or engage with my services. I am committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable laws, including:

• The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• French data protection laws (enforced by the CNIL)
• Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
• Quebec’s Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Law 25)

I do not sell your personal data. I practice data minimization and only process what is necessary.

Information you provide directly:

• Contact details: name, email address, phone number, and any other information you share in forms, emails, TidyCal bookings, or calls.
• Project details: descriptions of your film, animation, webseries, storyboard, script, or creative challenges when requesting consulting services.
• Payment and billing information (processed via secure third-party providers ; I do not store full card details).

Automatically collected information:

• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and session duration (via analytics tools).
• Cookies and similar technologies: essential cookies for site functionality; optional analytics cookies.

I do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data (health, racial or ethnic origin, etc.) unless you voluntarily include it in a project description. In such cases, I will seek explicit confirmation before processing.

I use your personal information for the following purposes, based on lawful grounds (consent, contract performance, legitimate interests):

• To respond to your inquiries and provide consulting, coaching, audits, or workshop services.
• To manage bookings, contracts, invoicing, and project delivery.
• To improve the Website and my services (using anonymized analytics).
• To send occasional updates, newsletters, or useful resources on visual storytelling (only with your consent, which you can withdraw anytime).
• To comply with legal obligations or protect my rights.

I share personal information only when strictly necessary and with appropriate safeguards:

• Service providers: TidyCal (booking), Google Workspace (email/calendar), website host, newsletter tool (e.g., Substack), analytics providers, and payment processors ; all under contracts that respect GDPR, PIPEDA, and Law 25.
• Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or government authority in France, Canada, or the EU.
• Business transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger or acquisition.

I do not share your creative project details with third parties without your explicit permission. Your work remains strictly confidential.

International Transfers: Some processors may be located outside the EU/Quebec (e.g., in the US). I ensure appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Privacy Shield equivalents, or other approved mechanisms.

Depending on your location, you have the following rights (subject to legal limitations):

• Access, correction, or deletion of your personal data.
• Withdrawal of consent.
• Objection to processing (including for direct marketing).
• Restriction of processing.
• Data portability.
• Right to be forgotten (under GDPR/Law 25).
• File a complaint with the relevant authority: CNIL (France), OPC (Canada), or CAI (Quebec).

To exercise these rights, contact me at hello@gregforet.com. I will respond within one month (often faster).

I keep your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined or as required by law (typically up to 3–7 years for contractual and fiscal records, shorter for marketing). Analytics data is kept in anonymized form longer. You can request deletion at any time (subject to legitimate business or legal needs).

I implement reasonable technical and organizational measures (HTTPS, strong passwords, access controls, data minimization) to protect your information. However, no system is completely secure. In case of a data breach that poses a risk to you, I will notify you and relevant authorities as required by law.

I use essential cookies for site functionality. You can manage preferences via your browser settings. For analytics, I use tools that respect privacy (anonymized where possible). A cookie consent banner will be implemented on the site.

The Website and services are not directed at individuals under 18. I do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you are under 18, please do not provide any personal information.

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Website after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
