SECTION 1.0Overview & Controller Identity
SelectPass Notebook operates as an independent technical reference and educational publication devoted to professional photographic selection, multi-pass triage methodologies, and raw asset curation pipelines. This Privacy Policy governs our direct handling of information submitted by visitors, workshop practitioners, and editorial correspondents.
As an educational curation platform, SelectPass Notebook acts as the primary data controller for all correspondence transmitted across our platform. We operate with strict adherence to data minimization principles, gathering exclusively the information mandatory to satisfy technical questions and methodology correspondence.
SECTION 2.0Collected Information Categories
We do not operate public registration portals, payment gateways, or automated profiling engines. The categories of information processed are confined to voluntary submissions:
- Direct Contact Records: When you communicate via our inquiry desk, we record your supplied name, email address, topic specification, and message content to formulate a complete technical response.
- Methodology Feedback & Case Studies: Photographic workflows, project metadata parameters, and technical feedback voluntarily submitted for comparative selection analysis.
- Server Log Metadata: Routine, aggregated server transaction records (such as requested URI, HTTP status code, user agent family, and timestamp) collected solely for diagnostic health, DDOS mitigation, and protocol infrastructure integrity. These technical logs contain no personally identifiable profiling data.
SECTION 3.0Lawful Basis & Utilization
Information handling activities performed by SelectPass Notebook are conducted under explicit lawful grounds pursuant to applicable international data protection standards:
- Legitimate Interest & Inquiry Fulfillment: Processing direct inquiries to provide professional photographic workflow assistance and clarifying curation methodologies requested by the user.
- Explicit Consent: Where users submit feedback, selection case inquiries, or collaborative triage studies for potential editorial discussion.
- Technical Infrastructure Security: Auditing server access records to safeguard platform stability against malicious automated abuse and brute force disruptions.
Categorical Non-Distribution Guarantee
SelectPass Notebook maintains an absolute prohibition against commercial disclosure. We do not provide, trade, barter, or distribute your email address or communication records to marketing consortiums, ad networks, or data brokers.
