Effective Date: October 6, 2026

Shear Media Studios respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect when you visit ShearMediaStudios.com, submit an inquiry, request information, complete a lead form, schedule a studio tour, or otherwise communicate with us.

Information We Collect

When you contact Shear Media Studios, we may collect information you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, phone number, company or organization, production details, requested shoot dates, project requirements, and other information you choose to include in your inquiry.

We may also collect limited technical information when you use our website, such as browser type, device type, IP address, pages visited, referral source, and general website activity through analytics, advertising, and similar technologies.

How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect to respond to inquiries, discuss studio availability, prepare estimates or production recommendations, schedule tours or shoots, provide customer service, communicate about your project, improve our website and services, measure advertising performance, and understand how visitors find and use our website.

Information submitted about a production may also be used to help us recommend appropriate studio spaces, technical services, equipment, crew resources, livestreaming, broadcast, postproduction, or other production-related services.

Google Ads and Lead Forms

Shear Media Studios may use Google Ads and Google lead form assets to allow prospective clients to contact us directly through Google.

If you submit information through a Google lead form, the information you provide may be transmitted to Shear Media Studios so that we can respond to your inquiry, discuss your project, provide information about our services, or prepare a production estimate.

Google may process information associated with these forms in accordance with Google's own privacy policies and terms.

Cookies, Analytics and Advertising

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to help operate the site, understand website traffic, measure advertising performance, and improve the visitor experience.

We may use services such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or similar platforms. These services may collect information about your device and interactions with our website according to their respective privacy policies.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, although certain website features may not function as intended.

Sharing of Information

Shear Media Studios may share information with service providers or production partners when reasonably necessary to respond to your request or provide services.

For example, if your production requires outside crew, equipment rental, grip and electric services, technical support, postproduction, or another production resource, relevant project information may be shared with those providers when appropriate.

We do not disclose personal information to unrelated third parties solely for their independent marketing purposes without permission.

We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of Shear Media Studios, our clients, or others.

Data Retention

We may retain inquiry information, production information, correspondence, estimates, and related business records for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your request, provide services, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes.

Data Security

Shear Media Studios uses reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure.

No website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Choices

You may contact us at any time to request that we update or correct personal information you have provided to us.

You may also ask us to stop sending non-essential marketing communications. Transactional or project-related communications may still be necessary when you are actively working with us.
