We may also use contact information to send occasional business or marketing communications. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time.
Client Content and Confidentiality
We treat nonpublic client materials, project details, recordings, and communications as confidential business information.
We do not publicly publish, distribute, promote, or use a client’s show, recording, project, name, logo, likeness, or other client content as a portfolio example without permission, except where the material has already been made public by the client or where another written agreement expressly permits such use.
We may allow employees, contractors, editors, production partners, cloud-storage providers, and other service providers to access client materials when reasonably necessary to perform the requested work. These parties are expected to handle the materials only for legitimate business purposes.
Ownership of Client Content
Except as otherwise stated in a signed agreement, clients retain ownership of the final content produced for them after all applicable invoices and balances have been paid.
Our underlying business materials, templates, production methods, internal documents, software, processes, preexisting intellectual property, and general know-how remain our property unless specifically transferred in writing.
This section is intended as a general statement of our normal practices. The applicable proposal, service agreement, production agreement, invoice, or other written contract controls if its terms differ from this policy.
How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information.
We may share information with vendors and service providers that help us operate our business, including providers of:
-
Website hosting and online forms
-
Appointment scheduling
-
Customer relationship management
-
Cloud storage and file delivery
-
Email and communications
-

-
Information technology and security
These providers may access information only as reasonably necessary to perform services for us or on our behalf.
We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or governmental request; to protect our rights, property, clients, personnel, or safety; or as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, sale, or transfer of business assets.
Advertising, Cookies, and Analytics
Our websites may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies supplied by companies such as Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Wix, and other advertising or technology providers.
These tools may help us understand website traffic, measure advertising performance, remember preferences, and show relevant advertising. Those providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and account settings.
You may be able to limit certain tracking through your browser settings, device settings, advertising preferences, or cookie controls available on our website.
LinkedIn and Other Lead Forms
When you submit information through a LinkedIn, Meta, Google, or other advertising lead form, we may use that information to respond to your inquiry, evaluate your project, provide information or estimates, schedule a consultation, and follow up about relevant services.
Submitting a lead form does not create a client relationship or obligate you to purchase services.
LinkedIn requires advertisers using Lead Gen Forms to provide a public privacy-policy URL explaining how submitted information will be used.
Data Storage and Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
No website, transmission method, cloud service, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain client and accounting records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, comply with legal requirements, and support legitimate business operations. The FTC recommends that businesses collect only what they need, protect retained information, and dispose of it appropriately when it is no longer necessary.
Your Choices and Requests
You may contact us to request that we:
-
Correct inaccurate contact information
-
Remove you from marketing communications
-
Provide information about personal data you previously submitted
-
Delete information that we are not legally or operationally required to retain
We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. We may retain information when necessary for contracts, accounting, dispute resolution, legal compliance, security, or other legitimate business purposes.
Children’s Privacy
Our websites and services are intended primarily for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without appropriate authorization.
Third-Party Websites
Our websites may link to third-party websites, platforms, booking systems, payment processors, or social-media services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for their content or practices.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of our websites or services after an update constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.
