Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how our Production Company ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you visit our website or engage our services. We strictly target and serve local clients and operate in compliance with applicable local and federal privacy standards.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information from you when you interact with our website, request a quote, or purchase our services.

*Personal & Contact Data:** Name, email address, phone number, company name, and physical/billing address.
*Project & Operational Data:** Script treatments, project briefs, creative concepts, and local filming location details you provide to us.

3. Financial Data and Secure Payment Processing
When you make a payment directly through our website, your financial information is processed securely by third-party payment gateways (such as Stripe, PayPal, or QuickBooks). We also accept payments through Zelle.
* We **do not store or retain** your credit card numbers or financial account details on our servers.
* All transaction details are processed by providers adhering to the **Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS)** using modern encryption protocols.
* For payments handled outside the website (e.g., bank transfers or check invoices), data is kept confidential within our secure accounting software.

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We only share information with trusted third-party service providers necessary to run our business, including:
* **Payment Gateways:** To process secure client transactions.

* **Accounting & Business Tools:** Invoicing systems used to manage client billing.
5. Intellectual Property & Confidentiality
Please note that while this Privacy Policy protects your *personal data* (such as your email and phone number), your creative ideas, scripts, and video concepts are distinct assets. Confidential project treatments and proprietary information are governed independently by our standard **Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)** or production contracts, rather than this document.
6. Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate details, or ask us to delete your contact information from our active marketing lists.
