Your privacy matters to us. Our website is designed to work with as little data as possible.

In short
- There are no user accounts on our site; we do not ask you to sign up or share unnecessary information.
- What you write in the Contact and Get a quote forms is saved in our Supabase database (servers in Frankfurt, Germany) so your request is not lost; you then send the message yourself via WhatsApp or e-mail. Details are in our personal data notice.
- The site sets no cookies of its own. Analytics and advertising tools run only if you consent.
- Our showreel does not connect to YouTube until you press play.
- We do not sell your personal data.
Contact and project forms
When you submit the Contact or Get a quote form, what you write is saved in our Supabase database (servers in Frankfurt, Germany) so your request is not lost, and at the same time it is prepared as a message. When you press “Send via WhatsApp” or “Send via e-mail”, the message opens in your WhatsApp or e-mail app and you confirm sending it. From then on, your message is subject to the privacy terms of that service (WhatsApp or your e-mail provider).
We use the information you send us only to answer your request, prepare a quote and carry out your project. Details are in our personal data notice.
When you visit the site
The provider that hosts the site briefly keeps standard server logs such as IP address, browser type and time of visit, for security and technical operation. The site remembers your preferred language and whether the opening animation has been shown in this session in your browser’s own storage (local storage, not cookies); this information does not leave your device.
If you consent, we use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 to measure how the site is used (data is kept for 14 months and transferred to Google’s servers abroad with your explicit consent). If you give advertising consent, we use the Meta Pixel to measure the results of our Meta ads (_fbp cookie, 90 days). If you do not consent, these tools are not loaded at all. If Google Ads is added in the future, it will also run only with your consent. Our cookie policy explains which cookies are used and how to change your consent.
Embedded video
The showreel on our homepage is embedded using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), and no connection to YouTube is made until you press play. Once you start the video, YouTube’s privacy terms apply.
Privacy during shoots
Images and sound recorded during shoots we do together are used for the purposes set out in the contract. Before sharing your work on our website, on social media or as a reference, we make sure this is covered in our contract or ask for your consent. Raw footage is stored securely and is not shared with unauthorised people.
Security
Our site runs over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Only people who need it for their work can access your personal data, and we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, loss and misuse.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as our site or the law changes; the current version is always on this page. For any privacy question, write to info@karahasanoglumedya.com.
