Privacy Policy

Last updated [EFFECTIVE_DATE]

Template — not legal advice. This is a working draft for [LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME] to adapt. Replace every [BRACKETED] field, and have a licensed attorney in [STATE/COUNTRY] review it before you publish or rely on it. Your obligations depend on where you and your clients operate (e.g. GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and platform terms).

This Privacy Policy explains how [LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME] (“McLaren Visuals,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website, apply for our services, or engage us to manage social-media channels.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

Application & contact details — name, email, business name, social handles, and anything you submit through our application or consultation forms.
Client engagement data — the brand assets, footage, captions, briefs, and approvals you share so we can produce and schedule content on your behalf.
Communications — messages you send us by email or form.

Information collected automatically

Standard server logs and basic, privacy-respecting analytics (pages viewed, approximate region, device type) used only to operate and improve the site. [CONFIRM_ANALYTICS_TOOL_OR_"none"]
We do not sell your personal information.

2. How we use information

To respond to applications and deliver the services you engage us for.
To produce, schedule, and report on content for your channels.
To operate, secure, and improve our website and tooling.
To comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.

3. Social platforms & third parties

To run your channels we use third-party services such as the platforms themselves (e.g. Instagram, YouTube, TikTok) and scheduling/automation tooling. When you authorize us to act on your channels, your use of those platforms remains subject to their terms and privacy policies. We share information with vendors only as needed to provide the service. Current sub-processors include: [LIST_SUBPROCESSORS — e.g. hosting, scheduler, email, analytics].

4. AI & automation disclosure

We use AI-assisted tooling to help draft, edit, and schedule content and to prepare recommendations. A human reviews and approves work before anything is published. We are transparent about this and never present AI-generated results as something they are not.

5. Data retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service and for legitimate business or legal purposes, then delete or anonymize it. You may request deletion of your personal information at any time (see §8).

6. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Cookies

The site uses only the cookies strictly necessary to function and, where applicable, minimal analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings. [ADD_COOKIE_BANNER_IF_REQUIRED_BY_REGION]

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any right, email [PRIVACY_EMAIL]. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

9. Children

Our services are for businesses and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect their personal information.

10. Changes

We may update this policy. We will post the new effective date here and, for material changes, notify engaged clients directly.
