Privacy Policy
Lighthouse Wedding Films ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through [lighthousewedding​films.com] (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site or contacting us, you agree to this Policy.
1. Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you fill out our contact form, inquire about our services, or communicate with us, we may collect your name, your partner's name, email address, phone number, wedding or event date, venue or location, and anything you choose to share in your message.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our providers may collect technical information when you visit — such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and visit times — through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 4).
Information from third parties. If you find us through a wedding platform or directory (for example, [Zola, The Knot, or WeddingWire]), we may receive your inquiry and contact details from that platform.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
Respond to your inquiries and communicate with you about your wedding or event;
Provide, schedule, and deliver our services;
Send quotes, agreements, invoices, and project updates;
Understand how visitors use the Site and improve it;
Send occasional updates you've requested (you can opt out anytime);
Meet our legal and contractual obligations.
We do not sell your personal information.
3. How We Share Your Information
We share personal information only as needed to run our business, including with:
Service providers who help us operate (website host, email provider, booking/CRM tools, cloud storage, payment processors);
Collaborators directly involved in your wedding (for example, a second filmmaker, or — with your awareness — your photographer), where relevant to delivering your film;
Legal or safety purposes, if required by law or to protect our rights.
We require our providers to handle your information consistently with this Policy.
4. Cookies & Analytics
Our Site may use cookies and similar technologies to function and to help us understand traffic. We may use analytics services such as [Google Analytics] to collect aggregated, non-identifying information about Site usage. Embedded content (such as [YouTube] videos) may set its own cookies when it loads. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect how parts of the Site work.
5. Third-Party Services & Links
The Site is hosted on [Showit] and may include embedded content or links to third-party sites (such as wedding directories or our collaborators). Those third parties have their own privacy practices, which we don't control. We encourage you to review their policies.
6. Data Retention
We keep personal information for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, deliver our services, and meet legal, tax, or contractual requirements. We retain delivered films and related project files [for X period / as described in our client agreement], after which they may be archived or deleted. 
7. Your Choices & Rights
You may ask us to: tell you what information we hold about you; correct or update it; delete it (subject to legal or contractual limits); or stop sending you marketing emails. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under your state's privacy laws (for example, residents of New Hampshire, Connecticut, California, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws). To exercise any of these, email us at [email]. We won't discriminate against you for doing so.
8. Children's Privacy
Our Site and services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we'll delete it.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date below; significant changes may be noted on the Site.
