Effective Date: 12/10/2024

At **Oceanview Creations**, we are committed to protecting your privacy and personal data. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect data when providing our services, including traditional photography, videography, and drone operations in public and private spaces.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of data:

Personal Information: Name, email address, phone number, and other contact details when you engage our services.
Photographs and Videos: Visual images and videos captured through traditional cameras or drones, especially in public spaces.
Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our website, such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site.

How We Use Your Information

We use your data for the following purposes:

To communicate with you and respond to inquiries.
To provide our services, including photography and videography, both on the ground and aerially.
To create promotional content for clients, websites, and social media.
To improve our services and manage business operations.
For Photographs and Videos: Visual data is collected for commercial purposes, including marketing, client projects, and portfolio development. We ensure that all image and video captures comply with privacy laws and individual consent requirements.

Public Photography, Videography, and Drone Filming

Public Spaces: We may capture footage in public areas such as beaches, parks, and streets. In these situations, it may not be feasible to obtain consent from all individuals in the area, but we take steps to avoid capturing identifiable people unnecessarily.
Privacy Notices: We post visible signage where possible, informing individuals about our ongoing photography or videography. Verbal announcements may also be used in certain situations.
Consent for Identifiable Individuals: For close-up footage or images where individuals are identifiable, we seek explicit consent before using their likeness in any promotional material or commercial project.
Anonymization: When consent cannot be obtained, we anonymize or blur identifiable individuals to protect their privacy.

GDPR Compliance for Traditional and Drone Footage

Legal Basis: We rely on Legitimate Interest for processing visual data (photos and videos) when it is necessary for our business. However, we balance this with the privacy rights of individuals, especially in public spaces.
Individual Rights: Individuals have the right to:
- Request access to any visual data (photos or videos) where they are identifiable.
- Request deletion or anonymization of their images.
- Object to the use of their image in commercial material.

Data Retention and Security

Data Sharing and Third Parties

Retention Period: Photos and videos will be retained for up to 12 months or for the duration of a project. After this period, they will be securely deleted, unless required for ongoing projects or legal reasons.
Data Security: We implement industry-standard measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse. All footage and personal data are securely stored and accessible only by authorized personnel.

We do not sell or rent personal data. However, we may share information with trusted service providers who assist in our business operations, such as video editors or website hosting services. These parties are obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of your data.
