Privacy is central to the way YMV Ltd works. We do not sell, rent, trade, publish or otherwise disclose personal information, client information, project details or confidential material to third parties for marketing, commercial or promotional purposes. Client information is treated as confidential and is used only for the purpose for which it was provided, including responding to an enquiry, preparing a proposal, delivering agreed services or maintaining the professional relationship.

Where a trusted service provider or specialist collaborator needs access to information in order to perform a specific function, only the minimum information reasonably necessary will be shared and only on a need-to-know basis. This may include website hosting, email, cloud storage, accounting, payment processing or project production services. We will not publicly disclose a client relationship, project, private correspondence, commercially sensitive information or personal material unless permission has been given or disclosure is required by law.

3. Client Confidentiality

Privacy is central to the way we work.

We do not sell, rent, trade, publish or disclose personal information, client information, private correspondence or confidential project material for commercial, marketing or promotional purposes.

Client relationships, project details, imagery and other work will not be made public or used within a portfolio unless permission has been given.

Information supplied by a client is used only for the purpose for which it was provided and is treated as confidential.

4. Limited Sharing of Information

Personal or client information is not shared as a matter of course.

Where necessary to provide a service or operate the business, limited information may be processed by trusted providers such as website hosting, email, cloud storage, accounting or payment services.

For certain projects, information may also be shared with photographers, filmmakers, designers, developers or other specialist collaborators where their involvement is necessary.

In each case, only information reasonably required for that purpose will be shared. Information may also be disclosed where required by law.

Client, contractual and financial records may normally be retained for up to six years where required for business, tax, accounting or legal purposes.

Enquiries that do not result in an engagement may be deleted sooner when they are no longer required.
