Privacy Policy

Our company, renowned for its exceptional photography and digital graphics services, prioritizes the privacy and security of our clients’ data. Therefore, I’m pleased to present the detailed Privacy Policy for Prestigious Angles:

Who We Are:

At Prestigious Angles, we are a cutting-edge photography and digital graphics company dedicated to capturing moments with precision and creativity. With our keen eye for detail and innovative approach, we transform ordinary scenes into extraordinary visual experiences.

Comments:

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection. Additionally, we may provide an anonymized string created from the visitor’s email address to the Gravatar service to determine if they are using it. Upon approval of the comment, the visitor’s profile picture is visible to the public in the context of their comment.

Media:

At Prestigious Angles, we understand the importance of handling media with care and professionalism to ensure the security and integrity of our clients’ content. Our media handling policy outlines the procedures and protocols we follow to manage media effectively:

1. Secure Storage: All media, including photographs, videos, and digital graphics, are stored securely on encrypted servers to prevent unauthorized access or tampering.

2. Access Control: Access to media files is restricted to authorized personnel only. Employees are granted access based on their role and responsibilities, and access logs are regularly monitored to detect any suspicious activity.

3. Backup and Redundancy: We implement robust backup procedures to ensure that media files are securely backed up and stored in multiple locations. This mitigates the risk of data loss due to hardware failure, natural disasters, or other unforeseen events.

4. Metadata Management: We maintain accurate and consistent metadata for all media files to facilitate efficient organization, retrieval, and archival. Metadata includes information such as file names, timestamps, and relevant keywords.

5. Version Control: For projects involving iterative revisions or collaborative work, we employ version control systems to track changes and manage multiple versions of media files. This ensures that the latest and most accurate version of the media is always available.

6. Transfer and Delivery: When transferring media files to clients or third parties, we utilize secure file transfer protocols and encryption methods to protect data during transit. Delivery methods are chosen based on the sensitivity of the media and client preferences.

7. Retention and Disposal: We adhere to predefined retention periods for media files in accordance with legal and contractual requirements. Media files that are no longer needed are securely disposed of using industry-standard methods to prevent unauthorized access or recovery.

8. Compliance and Standards: Our media handling practices comply with relevant industry standards and regulations, including copyright laws, data protection regulations, and best practices in digital asset management.

By following these guidelines, we ensure that media is handled responsibly and securely throughout its lifecycle, maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our clients’ valuable assets.
