Privacy Policy
Gabriel Santamaria — gabosantamaria.ca
Effective date: July 17, 2026
This website is operated by Gabriel Santamaria, a video production and social media content studio based in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada.
This policy explains what personal information may be collected when you visit this website, submit an inquiry, or interact with my advertising, how that information is used, and the choices available to you.
Information I Collect
Information you provide directly. When you complete a contact or inquiry form, submit a Meta Instant Form, or contact me by email, I collect the information you choose to provide. This may include your name, email address, phone number, company name, website or social media profile, location, industry, project details, and content-production needs.
I use this information to respond to your inquiry, understand your business needs, and discuss a possible project or working relationship. I will not add you to an email marketing list unless you separately agree to receive those communications.
Information collected automatically. This website uses cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site and to measure advertising performance.
-
Google Analytics 4 may collect usage and technical information that generally does not directly identify you to me, including pages visited, approximate location, device and browser information, referral source, interactions, and time spent on the site.
-
Meta Pixel and Conversions API may collect website-event and technical information, including pages viewed, actions taken, browser or device information, and information used for advertising measurement and attribution. Depending on your interaction with the site and the settings of these tools, certain contact identifiers may be transformed through hashing before being transmitted to Meta for matching and measurement. Hashing supports the matching process but does not necessarily make the information anonymous.
Facebook and Instagram Lead Ads. If you submit information through an Instant Form on Facebook or Instagram, I receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email, company information, location, and answers to the form questions. I use that information to respond to your inquiry and discuss your project or content-production needs.

Service Providers
I use third-party services to operate the website, communicate with potential clients, host media, and measure marketing activity. These services may include:

Meta — advertising, measurement, and lead forms

Â
These providers may receive technical information needed to deliver their services and process information according to their own terms and privacy policies.
Some providers may process or store information outside Canada. When information is processed in another jurisdiction, it may be subject to the laws and lawful access requirements of that jurisdiction.
Cookies and Your Choices
This website may use essential cookies required for security and core site functions, as well as optional analytics and advertising cookies.
Where a cookie-consent banner is available, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies and revisit your preferences later.
You may also:
Â
-
Change or delete cookies through your browser settings
-
Use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
-
Manage your Meta advertising preferences: facebook.com/adpreferences
-
Use private or incognito browsing features
Â
Declining non-essential cookies should not prevent you from accessing the core pages of this website, but some embedded media, analytics, or personalization features may not function as intended.
Data Retention
I retain inquiry, client, and project information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the inquiry, provide the requested services, maintain appropriate business records, meet legal, tax, or accounting obligations, and resolve disputes or enforce agreements.
Analytics and advertising platforms retain information according to their account settings, contractual terms, and privacy policies.
Data Security
I use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission or electronic-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your Privacy Rights
Under applicable Canadian privacy laws, including British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act and, where applicable, PIPEDA, you may have the right to:
Â

Ask whether I hold personal information about you
-
Request access to that information
-
Request corrections
-
Withdraw consent, where applicable
-
Request deletion where permitted and subject to legal or business-record requirements

Children's Privacy
