Privacy policy
Last updated: September 2026
James Ryan Serpico is an independent freelance photo and video producer and independent contractor based on Long Island, New York. This notice outlines how your information is handled when you visit this site, review production work, or reach out about a project.
Introduction
This policy explains how James Ryan Serpico collects, uses, and safeguards your information when you visit this website or contact me regarding photo and video production. As a solo independent producer, I respect your personal privacy and handle all submitted details directly with care and discretion.
Information collected
I collect information that you deliberately provide through the 'Start a project' intake form on the contact page, including your name, email address, phone number (if provided), and project specifications. When you browse the site, standard non-identifying technical data — such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the specific pages you visit — is collected automatically via standard analytics.
How information is used
Information you provide is used solely to respond to inquiries, discuss creative concepts, coordinate production logistics, and plan potential shoots. Technical analytics data is used strictly to understand site performance and improve user experience. I will never sell, rent, trade, or distribute your personal information to third parties or marketing lists.
Third-party services
Inquiries submitted through this site are processed using standard website infrastructure and secure form-handling services that transmit messages directly to my inbox. Standard web analytics tools may also measure aggregate traffic trends. These service providers process data under strict data privacy obligations and are prohibited from using your information for unrelated purposes.
Cookies
This website may use essential cookies and lightweight analytics cookies to ensure the site operates smoothly and to record aggregate visitor metrics. You can adjust your browser settings at any time to block or delete cookies, though core site navigation will continue to function normally without them.
Data retention
Client inquiry details and correspondence are retained only for as long as necessary to answer questions, complete project engagements, fulfill contractual obligations, and maintain standard freelance and tax records. When personal information is no longer needed, it is deleted.
Visitor rights
You have the right to request a copy of any personal information I hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate details, or ask for your information to be deleted from my records. I will respond promptly to all reasonable requests.
Contact
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this policy or how your details are handled, please contact me directly at serpico.james@yahoo.com.
Changes to this policy
I may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in production practices, legal standards, or site features. Any revisions will be published on this page with an updated revision date at the top.
