iStock's Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 2018

Please read this policy and if you have any questions contact us.


By using the site you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this policy.

This site is operated by iStockphoto LP ("iStockphoto"), a subsidiary of Getty Images, Inc. ("Getty Images") and may be accessed in Canada and abroad. For personal data protection purposes in the European Union, iStockphoto is the controller and, unless otherwise noted, is also the processor of the personal data.

iStockphoto is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy tells you about our online collection, use and disclosure of personal data. The terms of this policy apply to all personal data collected by iStockphoto on the website istockphoto.com and other country-specific iStockphoto websites which may be linked to istockphoto.com. We have created this policy pursuant to the Personal Information Protection Act (Alberta) S.A. 2003, c.P-6.5, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada) S.C. 2000, c.5 and the "Anti-Spam Act" (Canada) S.C. 2010, c.23. Your home jurisdiction may have privacy laws that are more or less protective than the province of Alberta, Canada.
