1. Introduction
At B.O Studios, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information and digital media assets. This policy explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your data when you interact with our website, book our services, or participate in our photography and videography sessions.
Our practices are designed to align with the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019 to ensure transparency, security, and professional integrity.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the essential information required to deliver high-quality media services. This includes:
- Contact Information: Your name, company name, email address, phone number, and physical billing or event address.
- Project Details: Event dates, locations, schedules, and specific creative briefs or shot lists.
- Digital Media Assets: The raw and edited photographs, video recordings, and audio files captured during our sessions.
- Website Analytics: Basic anonymous data such as IP addresses, browser types, and page visit duration to help us improve our website experience.
3. How We Use Your Data and Media
We process your information strictly for legitimate business and artistic purposes:
- Service Delivery: To schedule, execute, edit, and securely deliver your final photography and videography packages.
- Communication: To send quotes, invoices, booking confirmations, and project updates.
- Customer Support: To resolve queries, handle adjustments to edits, and manage archival requests.
4. Image Usage and Intellectual Property
We treat your visual media with the highest level of professional confidentiality. Our standard terms are as follows:
- Client Rights: Clients receive full personal or commercial usage rights to print, share, and publish their finalized, edited assets as specified in their service contracts.
- Studio Promotional Usage: As a creative studio, B.O Studios reserves the right to use select images and video snippets from our sessions for our professional portfolio, website gallery, and social media channels to showcase our work.
- Privacy Opt-Out: We highly value your comfort and privacy. If your corporate event is highly confidential, or if you prefer your lifestyle or family portraits to remain entirely private and off the internet, please notify us in writing before the shoot. We happily honor all non-disclosure and privacy requests.
5. Security & Secure Delivery
We implement robust organizational and digital measures to protect your files against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration:
- Final edited media files are delivered via secure, private, password-protected online galleries.
- Raw and backup files are stored on secure physical drives and encrypted cloud servers.
- We retain final client galleries for a standard period of 6 months post-delivery, after which files may be archived or safely purged. We recommend downloading and backing up your copies promptly upon delivery.
6. Sharing with Third Parties
B.O Studios will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information or media assets to third-party marketers. We only share relevant data with trusted partners under strict confidentiality guidelines when necessary to fulfill your project (for example, a specialized third-party printing press for yearbooks or physical photo albums).
7. Your Rights
Under the Kenya Data Protection Act, you have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate data, or ask for the deletion of your personal contact records from our active billing systems.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may periodically update this policy to reflect shifts in our studio workflows or evolving local regulations. Any updates will be published directly to this page with a revised date stamp.
