This Privacy Policy explains how AntonyCreates (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit antonycreates.com, submit a Service Request Form, communicate with us, or use our creative services (Photography, Videography, Graphic Design, Website Creation, Marketing Strategy, and Other Services). Quick summary (not a substitute for the full policy): We collect only what we need to respond, book, and deliver services. We use secure third-party tools (e.g., payment processors, schedulers, analytics). Client names and select project content may be shown in our portfolio/website/social media by default unless you request confidentiality at the time of booking. If you request confidentiality after you submit a deposit, an additional Confidentiality Fee may apply and removal may not be fully possible once content is public/shared. See Publicity & Portfolio Use for details. 1) What We Collect Information you provide directly Contact & booking details: name, email, phone, business name (if any), preferred contact method, service type, event/project dates, locations, budgets, and notes from your form or consultation. Project assets: brand/style guides, logos, copy, mood boards, scripts, shot lists, reference files. Payment details: handled via third-party processors (we do not store full card data). Information collected automatically Technical data: IP address, device/browser info, pages visited, time on page, referring URLs, via cookies or similar technologies. Cookies/analytics: we may use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to improve site performance. See Cookies & Tracking below. Information from third parties Platforms you connect or share from (e.g., social media), scheduling or payment services, or vendors collaborating on your project. 2) How We Use Your Information To respond to inquiries & deliver services (review requests, plan/produce/edit/deliver creative work). To schedule & manage bookings (date/time coordination, reminders, updates). To process payments, invoices, and receipts via third-party processors. To communicate about your project, support, and service updates (including using alternate contact methods if your preference fails). To improve our site & services (analytics, troubleshooting, optimization). To comply with law and enforce agreements (prevent fraud, respond to legal requests). 3) Publicity & Portfolio Use (Names, Logos, and Project Materials) By default, we may display client names, company names/logos, project titles, and select finished materials (e.g., photos, videos, designs, screenshots of websites) on our portfolio, website, proposals, case studies, reels, and social media for marketing and educational purposes. Confidentiality Option at Booking: You may request confidentiality at the time of booking (during Step 2 consultation or before paying the deposit). If agreed, we will not publicly display your identity or project content, except where disclosure is required by law. Any confidentiality scope will be confirmed in writing. Post-Deposit Confidentiality Requests: If you request confidentiality after a deposit is made (or after content is published), an additional Confidentiality Fee (administrative fee) may apply to compensate for changes, removals, or re-edits already in progress or published. Fee amounts and scope will be stated in your Booking/Service Agreement. Limitations: Even with confidentiality agreed, complete removal may not be possible once content is shared publicly (e.g., third-party resharing, screenshots, search engine caches, auto-backups). We will make reasonable efforts to remove or suppress content we control but cannot guarantee full removal across the internet or third-party systems. Model/Location Releases: For photography/videography featuring identifiable people or private property, releases may be required. For minors, a parent/guardian must consent. 4) Service-Specific Privacy Notes Photography & Videography We may capture identifiable images, voices, and locations. Metadata (time, GPS) may be embedded in files unless removed. We may engage assistants, second shooters, editors, or print labs; they receive only necessary information to fulfill their role and are bound by confidentiality where applicable. Raw files are typically retained internally for quality control; delivery and retention terms are defined in your Service Agreement. Graphic Design We may store brand assets (logos, fonts, color codes) to complete deliverables. Proofs and finals may be displayed in our portfolio unless confidentiality is agreed at booking. Website Creation We recommend collaborator access (not your master passwords). If credentials are provided, we store them securely and access only as needed. Screenshots or URLs of completed work may appear in our portfolio unless confidentiality is agreed at booking. Marketing Strategy We may access analytics dashboards, ad accounts, and performance data to create recommendations. We do not publicly disclose proprietary performance data without consent; generalized outcomes or anonymized insights may be used for case studies unless confidentiality is agreed at booking. Other Services Scope-specific data handling will mirror the above principles: minimal access, secure storage, purpose-limited use. 5) Sharing Your Information We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with: Service providers (hosting, email, cloud storage, project management, editors, print labs, payment processors) strictly to deliver services. Legal authorities when required by law or to protect our rights. Successors in the event of a business transfer/merger (with continued protection of your data). 6) Cookies & Tracking We may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to: Remember preferences (e.g., form inputs) Analyze site performance and usage Improve marketing relevance You can control cookies via your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit site features. We currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals. 7) Data Retention We keep personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described here, meet legal/financial obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Project files may be archived for quality control and portfolio recordkeeping unless confidentiality is agreed. 8) Security We use reasonable technical and organizational measures (encrypted transport, access controls, reputable processors) to protect your data. No method is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. 9) Your Choices & Rights Access/Update/Delete: Contact us to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information, subject to applicable law and retention obligations. Marketing Opt-Out: You may opt out of non-essential emails anytime (instructions included in the message). Confidentiality Requests: Must be explicitly requested at booking. Post-deposit requests may incur a Confidentiality Fee and cannot guarantee full removal once content is publicly accessible. If you are in a jurisdiction with specific rights (e.g., GDPR/UK GDPR/CPRA), you may have additional rights regarding access, portability, objection, restriction, or deletion. We will honor requests consistent with applicable law. 10) Communications Preferences & Fallback We will contact you using your preferred method (call/text/email). If that method fails or is time-sensitive, you agree we may use alternative methods you provided to ensure continuity. 11) Children’s Privacy Our site and services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect data from children without verifiable parental consent. 12) International Visitors Our operations are based in the United States.
