Consent may be express or implied depending on the circumstances and the sensitivity of the information. For example, submitting an inquiry form provides consent for us to use the submitted information to respond to your inquiry and discuss our services.

5. Cookies and Website Technologies

Cookies are small files placed on a visitor’s device to support website functionality, security, performance and analytics.

The website may use the following categories of cookies and related technologies:

Essential and Functional Technologies

These technologies help the website operate correctly, remember basic preferences, process forms and maintain security. Disabling them may prevent parts of the website from functioning properly.

Cloudflare Turnstile

Our contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to distinguish legitimate visitors from automated spam and abuse. Cloudflare may process technical information about your browser, device, IP address and interaction with the website for security and verification purposes.

Cloudflare’s handling of information is described in its Privacy Policy.

YouTube Embedded Videos

The website contains wedding films embedded from YouTube. When a page containing an embedded video loads—or when you interact with or play a video—Google and YouTube may collect technical information, set cookies or associate your activity with an existing Google account.

These services are controlled by Google and are subject to Google’s Privacy Policy.

Website Analytics

We may use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager or comparable analytics technologies to understand how visitors find and use the website.

These tools may collect information such as pages viewed, general geographic area, device and browser type, referral source, approximate visit duration and interactions with website content. Analytics information is generally used in an aggregated form to improve website performance, content and marketing.

Where required, analytics technologies will be managed through the consent options presented on the website.

Managing Cookies

You can manage or delete cookies using your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect website functionality, embedded videos and certain user preferences.

Browser-based privacy controls do not necessarily prevent third-party services from collecting information through other permitted technologies.

6. When We Share Personal Information

We do not sell or rent personal information.

We may disclose information to trusted service providers that help us operate the website and business, including providers of:

• Website hosting and backups
• Website forms and spam protection
• Email and business communications
• Cloud storage and film delivery
• Analytics and website performance services
• Payment processing and financial services
• Accounting, legal and insurance services
• Information technology and website support

These providers are authorized to access information only as reasonably necessary to perform services for us or as otherwise permitted by their agreements and applicable law.

The website is hosted through WP Engine. Information processed through the website may therefore be handled according to WP Engine’s Privacy Policy.

We may also disclose personal information:

• With your consent or at your direction
• To coordinate contracted services with venues or wedding vendors
• When required by law, court order or lawful government request
• To investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents or suspected illegal activity
• To protect our rights, property, clients or other individuals
• In connection with a business reorganization, sale or transfer, subject to appropriate protections

7. Third-Party Websites and Social Media

The website may contain links to YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and other third-party websites.

When you follow a link or interact with a third-party service, that organization may collect information directly from you according to its own policies. Mike Teves Films does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security or content practices of third-party websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external service you use.

8. Information Processed Outside Canada

Some service providers used by Mike Teves Films may store or process information outside Canada, including in the United States.

Personal information processed in another country may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction and may be accessible to courts, law-enforcement agencies or government authorities in accordance with those laws.

We remain responsible for personal information under our control and use reasonable measures when selecting and working with service providers.

Contact us if you would like additional information about how service providers process personal information outside Canada.

9. Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Respond to inquiries
• Provide contracted services
• Maintain business and transaction records
• Deliver or archive completed films
• Resolve disputes
• Enforce agreements
• Meet legal, tax, accounting and insurance obligations

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted, destroyed or anonymized, subject to technical limitations and legal requirements. Residual copies may remain temporarily in secure backups.

10. How We Protect Personal Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the information under our control.

These safeguards may include:

• Password-protected accounts and systems
• Restricted access to client information
• Secure website hosting
• Website encryption
• Spam and security monitoring
• Software updates and backups
• Trusted service providers
• Secure deletion or destruction practices

No website, email system, storage service or Internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should avoid sending highly sensitive information through ordinary email or website forms.

If a security incident occurs, we will investigate and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable law.

11. Accessing or Correcting Your Information

You may request:

• Confirmation of whether we hold personal information about you
• Access to personal information under our control
• Information about how your information has been used or disclosed
• Correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Withdrawal of consent where applicable
• Deletion of information that we are no longer required to retain

Send requests to info@miketevesfilms.com.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Access may also be limited where permitted or required by law, including where disclosure would reveal information about another person, confidential commercial information or legally privileged information.

We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable privacy law.

12. Children’s Privacy

The website and inquiry form are intended for adults planning or coordinating wedding services.

Children should not submit personal information through the website without the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, contact us so we can review and address the situation.

Wedding films may include children who attend a client’s wedding. The capture and permitted use of wedding footage are governed by the applicable client agreement, permissions and legal requirements.
