Last updated: 28.05.2026]
This Privacy Notice for Joshua Alan Zermeno, doing business as Storyframed Design, details how personal information is collected, processed, and shared when you visit our website or book our creative services. We emphasize user control, data security, and compliance with data protection laws.

SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS
This summary provides the main highlights of our Privacy Notice. You can find more details on any of these topics by scrolling down to the corresponding section headers below.

• What personal information do we process? When you visit or navigate our website, we process basic technical data. If you use our Wix contact form, we collect your name, email, and project details. When you book our professional services, we process visual media (photography and video footage) that contains your physical likeness.

• Do we process any sensitive personal information? We do not collect or process traditional sensitive data (such as medical records, political beliefs, or financial accounts). However, because we are a media production business, we capture physical likenesses through our camera work, which is handled strictly under the terms of our client contracts.

• Do we collect any information from third parties? No. We do not buy data from public databases, marketing brokers, or outside tracking sources. We only process information you give us directly or that is captured during our creative projects.

• How do we process your information? We process your data to communicate with you, manage your bookings, deliver your edited photos and videos, secure our website, and showcase our creative work on our Wix portfolio.

• In what situations and with which parties do we share personal information? We never sell your data. We only share it with essential service providers necessary to run our business (like Wix website hosting) or with contracted creative crew members (like a second shooter or video editor) to finish your project.

• What are your rights? Depending on your geographic location, you have rights regarding your personal data. This includes the right to access, update, or request the deletion of your contact form entries or your appearance in our portfolio media.

• How do you exercise your rights? The easiest way to exercise your rights is by emailing us directly at storyframeddesign@gmail.com. We review and act upon all requests promptly and in accordance with data protection laws.

1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

1. Personal Information You Disclose to Us

In Short:
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you fill out our contact form or book our services.

We collect personal information when you express an interest in obtaining information about us, inquire about a booking, or otherwise contact us directly. This typically includes:

• Contact Data: Your name, email address, phone number, and any details you type into our contact form message box.

• Project Details: Event locations, dates, timelines, and descriptions of the video or photography services you are looking for.

Visual Media & Likeness: Through the course of providing our professional videography and photography services, we capture images, video footage, and audio recording that contain the physical likeness of our clients and their guests. This data is captured exclusively under the terms of our service contracts.
2. Information Automatically Collected
In Short: Some technical information—such as your IP address and device characteristics—is collected automatically by Wix to keep our site secure and functioning properly.
When you visit, use, or navigate our website, Wix automatically collects certain technical information. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name) but includes:

• Device and Usage Data: Your IP address, browser type, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, and referring URLs.

• Location Data: General location info (such as country or city) based on your IP address.

This technical information is required to maintain the security, speed, and operation of our high-resolution portfolio galleries, as well as to log your privacy selections via Usercentrics for Wix.

2. HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short:
We process your information to communicate with you, manage your bookings, deliver your photos and videos, and maintain our online creative portfolio.

We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our website and services, including:

• To Respond to Inquiries: We process the details you submit through our Wix contact form to answer your questions, provide pricing quotes, and discuss potential photography or videography projects.

• To Deliver Services and Fulfill Contracts: We process your personal information and event details to manage bookings, coordinate shoot schedules, and execute our creative services.

• To Create and Deliver Media Content: The processing of visual media (capturing, editing, and archiving your photos or videos) is performed to deliver the final creative product outlined in our client agreements.

• To Showcase Our Work: With your permission or in accordance with our service contracts, we may process and display finalized imagery or videos on our Wix website to maintain our professional creative portfolio.

• To Maintain and Secure Our Website: We use basic data and cookie preferences via Usercentrics to ensure our website functions correctly, stays secure, and loads our high-resolution galleries efficiently.

• To Comply with Legal Obligations: We process business information (such as invoices and contracts) to comply with tax laws, accounting rules, and other legal requirements.

 
3. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

In Short:
We only share your information with trusted service providers necessary to host our website, manage our business operations, and deliver your photography or video projects.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data in the following limited situations:

• Third-Party Service Providers: We share data with trusted vendors that help us run our business, most notably Wix (which hosts our website and processes our contact form submissions).

• Creative Collaborators (Second Shooters / Editors): To successfully execute a photography or videography booking, we may share relevant project details (such as event schedules or client names) with contracted team members, such as second shooters, assistant videographers, or specialized editors. These individuals are bound by confidentiality agreements.

• Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law to comply with legal processes, tax reporting, or to protect our rights, safety, and property.

• Business Transfers: If our business undergoes a transition, such as a merger, sale of assets, or acquisition, your business records and media archives may be transferred to the successor company as part of our business assets.

4. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

In Short:
We use cookies to ensure our portfolio functions properly, analyze basic site performance, and respect your privacy choices via Usercentrics.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like pixels or tags) to gather information when you interact with our website. These technologies help us maintain the security of our site, ensure smooth video playback, and remember your preferences.

• Essential Cookies: These are necessary for basic site functionality, such as loading our photography/video galleries securely and running our contact form.

• Analytics & Performance: With your permission, we may use basic analytics to understand how visitors find our site and which portfolio pieces get the most views. We do not run third-party advertisements or send shopping cart reminders on this website.

Managing Your Preferences: We use Usercentrics for Wix to give you full control over your cookie privacy. You can customize, reject, or change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the interactive Usercentrics privacy/cookie icon on our website.

5. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?

In Short:
We do not use social logins on this website.

Our website functions strictly as a creative portfolio and contact platform. We do not offer user accounts, registrations, or the ability to log in using third-party social media accounts (such as Facebook or X). Because we do not collect or process any social media login data, this section is not applicable to our website or services.

6. IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?

In Short:
We may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own, primarily because our website platform is hosted globally.

Because this website is built on Wix, the information you submit via the contact form may be stored and processed on servers located in the United States, Europe, and other parts of the world where Wix or its third-party service providers operate.

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, please note that these countries may have data protection laws that differ from your own. However, Wix utilizes approved standard contractual clauses and data transfer frameworks to ensure that your personal information remains safe, secure, and protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable privacy laws.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short:
We keep your contact information for as long as necessary to manage our business relationship, and we securely archive media assets to fulfill client contracts and showcase our portfolio.

We only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as for tax, accounting, or business liability requirements).
Specifically for our photography and videography services:

• Contact & Inquiry Data: Communications from our contact form are kept for as long as we are actively discussing or working on a project together, plus a reasonable period to handle future follow-up inquiries.

• Media Assets (Photos & Video): Visual media containing your likeness is retained to fulfill our creative contracts, provide archival re-delivery services to clients, and display on our Wix portfolio site (where permitted by our client agreements).

​
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it. If deletion is not immediately possible (for example, because the data is stored in secure backup archives), we will securely isolate your information from any further processing until deletion can occur.

8. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In Short:
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. Any visual media involving minors is captured exclusively with parental or guardian consent.

Our website and services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of age, nor do we sell any personal information. By using this website, you represent that you are at least 18, or that you are the parent or guardian of a minor and consent to their use of the site.
 
Please note that through our professional photography and videography services, we may capture visual media that includes minors (such as family sessions or events). We only do so with the explicit consent of a parent or legal guardian, typically outlined in our service contracts.

If we learn that personal information has been collected directly from a user under 18 years of age through our website, we will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have inadvertently collected from children under age 18, please contact us at storyframeddesign@gmail.com.

9. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short:
You have the right to review, change, or request the deletion of the personal information we hold about you—including form submissions and portfolio media—at any time.

Depending on your country, state, or region of residence (such as the EU, UK, or certain US states), you may have specific rights under applicable data protection laws. These generally include the right to request access to and obtain a copy of your personal information, to request rectification or erasure, and to restrict the processing of your data.

Withdrawing Your Consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information (such as displaying your likeness on our portfolio site or holding onto your contact details), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. You can do so by contacting us using the details provided in the "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" section below.

Please note:

• Prior Processing: Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted before your withdrawal.

• Contractual & Legal Obligations: If you have hired us for a project, we may still retain certain business records, invoices, or media archives as required by law (such as for tax purposes) or to fulfill our contractual agreements, even if you withdraw consent for marketing or portfolio display.

10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES AND GLOBAL PRIVACY SIGNALS

In Short:
We respect your privacy choices. We use an automated consent management platform to honor your cookie preferences and modern universal opt-out signals.

Web browsers and mobile operating systems offer privacy settings to signal your preference not to have your online browsing activities monitored.

• Global Privacy Control (GPC): This website integrates Usercentrics for Wix, a dedicated cookie consent management platform. If your browser transmits a modern, recognized Universal Opt-Out Mechanism like the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, our Usercentrics system is designed to automatically detect it and respect your data privacy preferences by restricting non-essential tracking.

• Do-Not-Track (DNT): Please note that older "Do-Not-Track" (DNT) browser signals lack a uniform, universally accepted technical standard. As such, while we fully honor explicit cookie selections and modern GPC signals via Usercentrics, our site may not alter its behavior in response to legacy DNT browser configurations.

You can view, modify, or withdraw your cookie consent preferences at any time by clicking the interactive privacy/cookie icon powered by Usercentrics on our website.

11. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?

In Short:
Yes, we will update this notice from time to time to remain compliant with relevant laws and reflect any changes to our business.

We may update this Privacy Notice periodically. The updated version will be indicated by a "Revised" or "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and will become effective as soon as it is published.

If we make significant changes to how we handle your personal information, we may alert you by prominently posting a notice on our website's homepage. We encourage you to review this Privacy Notice occasionally to stay informed about how we protect your information.

12. HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?

In Short:
You can reach us directly via email if you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding your data.
If you have questions, comments, or requests regarding this Privacy Notice, the data we collect via our contact form, or how your media is displayed in our portfolio, please contact us directly at:

We aim to respond to all legitimate privacy inquiries within a reasonable timeframe.

13. HOW CAN YOU REVIEW, UPDATE, OR DELETE THE DATA WE COLLECT FROM YOU?

In Short:
You can review, update, or request the deletion of your information at any time by emailing us directly.
Depending on the laws of your country or state of residence, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we collect from you, obtain details about how we process it, correct inaccuracies, or request its deletion.
