PRIVACY POLICY

McG Studios Effective date: July 9, 2026

McG Studios ("we," "us," or "our") operates mcg-studios.com. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site or booking our services, you agree to this policy.

Information We Collect

Information you provide. When you submit our booking or contact forms, we collect the information you enter, which may include your name, brokerage or company, email address, phone number, property address, listing details, preferred shoot dates, and any notes you include. We also collect information you send us directly by email, phone, or text.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, this site collects standard technical data through cookies and similar technologies, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring pages. This site is hosted on Squarespace, which collects analytics data on our behalf. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect how the site functions.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to respond to inquiries, schedule and perform photography services, deliver galleries and files, send invoices and service-related communications, maintain client records, and improve our website and services. We may occasionally send you updates about our services; you can opt out of any marketing communication at any time.

We do not sell your personal information.

How Information Is Shared

We share information only with the service providers needed to run the business, including: Squarespace (website hosting and analytics), Formspree (form submission processing), Picflow (client gallery delivery), and payment or invoicing processors. These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy and security terms. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.

Photographs and video of properties we are hired to shoot are delivered to our clients and may appear in our portfolio and marketing as described in our Terms of Service. Property imagery is not treated as personal information; however, we do not intentionally publish images that identify occupants without consent.

Data Retention

We keep client and project records as long as needed to provide services, maintain business and tax records, and comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion of your personal information by contacting us, and we will honor the request except where retention is required for legal or accounting purposes.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To make a request, email us at the address below and we will respond within a reasonable time.

This site and our services are directed at real estate and design professionals and are not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
