4. Photography and Cinematography Content Usage

As a creative studio, the visual content (photographs and videos) we create is the core of our business.

Portfolio Rights: Unless explicitly agreed otherwise in a written Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or privacy contract prior to the event, AME Wedding Studios reserves the right to use selected images and video clips from your event for our professional portfolio. This includes usage on:

• Our official website (www.ameweddingstudios.in)
• Social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, etc.)
• Marketing brochures and studio display samples
• Photography competitions and exhibitions

We respect your privacy. If you have specific concerns about certain images being shared (e.g., private family moments), please discuss this with our management team (Lovepreet Singh) during the booking phase. We are happy to accommodate requests for privacy where possible.

5. Data Storage and Security

We value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it.

• Digital Storage: Your high-resolution images and raw footage are stored on secure, offline hard drives and encrypted cloud storage backups to prevent data loss. We retain raw footage for a limited period (typically 3-6 months) after final delivery, after which it may be permanently deleted to free up storage. Edited deliverables are archived for a longer period as a courtesy, though indefinite storage is not guaranteed.
• Website Security: Our website uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to ensure that the data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted.

6. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your Personally Identifiable Information to outside parties. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

Specific instances of sharing include:

• Printing Labs: We share selected images with high-quality professional printing labs for the creation of your wedding albums and canvas prints.
• Freelance Associates: In cases where large events require additional team members, trusted freelance shooters (Cinematographers or Assistant Photographers) may handle your data under our strict supervision.
