Privacy Policy

01 Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you give us directly, and information collected automatically when you use our site.

Information you provide

When you fill out our contact or quote form, email us, or otherwise reach out, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, company or organization, details about your event or project, and anything else you choose to include in your message.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, which may include:

• Your IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system
• The pages you view, links you click, and how you arrived at our site
• Date, time, and duration of your visit
• Information collected through cookies and similar technologies

02 How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide quotes for our photography and videography services
• Communicate with you about projects, bookings, and scheduling
• Operate, maintain, and improve our website and services
• Understand how visitors use our site so we can make it better
• Send you information you've requested or that relates to work we're doing together
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

We do not sell your personal information.

03 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working properly, remember your preferences, and help us understand site traffic and performance. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not function as intended if you do.

04 How We Share Your Information

We share personal information only in limited circumstances:

• Service providers. We use trusted third parties to operate our business — for example, our website host and platform (Squarespace), email providers, and analytics tools. They may process information on our behalf, subject to their own privacy terms.
• Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Marker 1 Media, our clients, or others.
• Business transfers. If Marker 1 Media is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

05 Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy — for example, to respond to your inquiry, deliver our services, and keep business records — or as required by law. When it's no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

06 Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

07 Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of certain uses. California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect and to request its deletion. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below and we'll respond as required by law.

08 Third-Party Links

Our site may link to third-party websites or services that we don't control. This Privacy Policy doesn't apply to those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy practices before providing any information.

09 Children's Privacy

Our website and services are intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we'll take appropriate steps to delete it.

10 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we handle your information.
