Such materials will be used as reasonably necessary to provide the requested services.
Client photographs, video, or project materials will not automatically be treated as permission for public marketing use solely because they were provided for a project. Any separate portfolio, promotional, or social media usage may be addressed through the applicable service agreement, photography agreement, release, or other authorization.

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary course of our business.
We may share information with service providers or platforms that help us operate our website or provide services, including website hosting companies, email providers, scheduling platforms, payment processors, analytics providers, cloud-storage providers, and other business-support services.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, booking services, payment providers, or other external services.
In The Grove Media does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or services. When you leave our website, your interaction with those services is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information entrusted to us. However, no internet transmission, website, email system, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Data Retention
We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, provide services, maintain business records, satisfy contractual obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or comply with legal requirements.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.
