We only use personal information for purposes reasonably related to your interaction with Honey Video.
Footage and likeness
As part of our production services, Honey Video may capture video, photography, audio recordings, interviews, performances, or other content that includes identifiable individuals.
When appropriate, Honey Video or the client commissioning the production may obtain releases, permissions, or other authorization allowing a person’s name, image, voice, likeness, performance, or statements to be recorded and used.
Footage and other production materials may be used for purposes outlined in the applicable project agreement, release, or client authorization. These uses may include:
- Commercials and branded content
- Corporate and internal communications
- Websites and social media
- Advertising and marketing
- Documentary or editorial content
- Event coverage
- Promotional materials
- Other agreed-upon distribution
Portfolio and promotional use
Unless the client requests otherwise in writing, the client grants Honey Video permission to display selected completed work, footage, and still frames in our portfolio, website, social media, reels, case studies, and other materials showcasing our services.
We will only share project material after the client has publicly released it, unless earlier use is approved in writing. Behind-the-scenes material requires separate client approval.
Clients may opt out by email before publication. If a client requests removal afterward, we will stop future use and remove the material from channels we control within a reasonable timeframe.
Any client agreement restricting publicity, confidentiality, or portfolio use takes priority.
Raw footage and project files
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Honey Video retains ownership of the raw footage, audio recordings, and editable project files we create. These materials are not included in the standard project fee or final deliverables.
This exclusion does not apply to projects booked specifically for footage capture, where the agreed deliverable is the footage itself. For those projects, footage delivery and the client’s usage or ownership rights will be specified in the production agreement. Editable project files remain excluded unless expressly included.
For other projects, clients who wish to purchase raw footage or project files must request them before production begins. We will provide a separate quote outlining the files included, applicable usage rights, and any agreed transfer of ownership. Delivery is subject to full payment and any third-party licensing restrictions.
Client-supplied materials remain the property of their respective owners. Any different ownership or delivery terms in the signed production agreement take priority.
Honey Video does not guarantee permanent storage of raw footage or project files. Long-term archival storage must be arranged separately.
Text messages (SMS)
If you provide your phone number and consent to receive text messages from Honey Video, we may contact you regarding inquiries, scheduling, project updates, or other communications related to our services.
Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. Consent to receive marketing text messages is not required to purchase or use our services.
We do not sell or provide your mobile number to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
How you opt in
You can opt in by checking a box on our booking, contact, or estimate forms. There are separate boxes for appointment and project messages and for marketing messages. Neither box is checked in advance, and you don’t need to check either one to book a call or work with us.
Frequency, help and records
Message frequency varies. Reply HELP for help, or contact us using the information in the Contact us section. Reply STOP to any message to opt out, and we’ll send one final message confirming it.
We keep a record of when and how you opted in or out, including the form you used, so we can honor your choices.
Calls and marketing communications
If you provide your telephone number, we may contact you regarding an inquiry, estimate, consultation, or active project.
If you subscribe to marketing communications, we may occasionally send information about Honey Video’s services, projects, or other relevant updates.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the message or by contacting us directly.
Transactional communications relating to an active inquiry or project may still be sent when necessary.
Call tracking and recording
The phone number shown on our website may change depending on how you found us. This helps us understand which pages, ads, or campaigns lead to calls. When you call one of these numbers, we may log the number you called from, the time and length of the call, and the page or campaign it came from.
Calls may be recorded for quality, training, and record-keeping purposes. If a call is recorded, we tell you at the start of the call, and you can ask us not to record it.
Cookies and tracking technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate properly, remember preferences, analyze website traffic, and understand how visitors interact with the site. These may include:
| Type | What it does |
|---|---|
| Essential cookies | Necessary for basic website functionality, security, forms, and navigation. |
| Analytics cookies | Used to understand website traffic and how visitors interact with our pages. |
| Attribution cookies | Remember which ad, campaign, or link brought you to our site, so we can tell which of our marketing leads to inquiries. |
| Session recording | If enabled, records how visitors move through our pages, such as clicks, scrolling, and navigation, so we can improve the site. Form fields are masked, so what you type is not captured. |
| Advertising and marketing cookies | If enabled, these may help us measure the effectiveness of advertising or show relevant advertising on third-party platforms. |
You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through the cookie preferences provided on our website. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no common standard for how websites should respond to it, our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.
We do honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. When your browser sends it, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for that browser, and we turn off advertising technologies.
How we share your information
We do not sell your personal information for monetary compensation.
We may share information with trusted third parties when necessary to operate our business, provide services, process transactions, or support our website. These may include:

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.
We do not share personal information with third parties for their independent marketing purposes unless you have provided consent or the sharing is otherwise permitted by law.
How we store your information
Information may be stored using secure third-party services, cloud platforms, email systems, customer management tools, and other systems used to operate Honey Video.
While no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, we take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

We may retain certain information for longer periods when required by law or reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
How we protect your information
We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or data storage system can guarantee absolute security.
If we become aware of a data security incident that legally requires notification, we will provide notice as required by applicable law.

Your California privacy rights
Subject to applicable law and certain exceptions, California residents may have the right to:

However, certain advertising or analytics technologies may qualify as “sharing” under California law when used for cross-context behavioral advertising. Where required, we will provide an appropriate method to opt out.
- Right to limit the use of sensitive personal information
- If we collect or use sensitive personal information in a manner that gives rise to a right to limit its use under California law, you may request that we limit such use. Honey Video does not generally use sensitive personal information for purposes unrelated to providing our services or operating our business.
- Right to non-discrimination
- We will not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy right available to you under California law.
Sale and sharing of personal information
Honey Video does not sell personal information in exchange for money.
We may use analytics, advertising, or marketing technologies that involve the disclosure of certain identifiers or internet activity to third parties. Depending on how those technologies are configured, certain disclosures may be considered “sharing” under California law.
Where required, California residents may opt out of such sharing through our cookie preferences, a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link, or by contacting us directly.
Sensitive personal information
Honey Video does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through our website unless it is reasonably necessary to provide requested services or you voluntarily provide it to us.
We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about individuals for unrelated marketing purposes.

We will confirm that we received your request within 10 business days and respond within 45 days. If we need more time, we will tell you why and may take up to 45 more days. Requests to opt out of sale or sharing are handled within 15 business days.
Before completing a request to know, correct, or delete, we need to verify your identity, usually by matching details you give us with information we already hold. You do not need to verify your identity to opt out of sale or sharing.
You may use an authorized agent to make a request for you. We may ask the agent for proof that you gave them signed permission, and we may ask you to confirm your identity with us directly.
Opt-out preference signals
We treat a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for that browser. You can also opt out at any time through the “Your privacy choices” link in our website footer.
Other California rights

We do not sell or share the personal information of consumers we know are under 16.
