Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 25, 2026

Who we are

Star Vest Media is a media production company located at 137 Franklin St, Alexander City, AL 35010. We produce video, photography, podcasts and brand storytelling for businesses, events, nonprofits and the wider Lake Martin community. This policy explains what information we collect through our website at starvestmedia.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. You can reach us at (256) 392-4171 or info@starvestmedia.com.

Information we collect

We keep collection to a minimum. The information we handle generally falls into two groups:

• Information you provide directly. When you use our contact form, call us or email us, we receive the details you choose to share, typically your name, email address, phone number and the message you send about your project.
• Basic technical and usage information. Like most websites, ours may record limited information such as your browser type, approximate region, the pages you visit and the site that referred you. We use this in aggregate form to understand which pages are helpful and which need improvement.

We do not collect payment details through this website, and we do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information.

How we use your information

We use the information above for a small number of straightforward purposes: responding to inquiries about our services, planning and coordinating projects you engage us for, sending information you have asked to receive, maintaining our records, and improving the content and performance of this website. If you ask us to add you to an occasional update about our work, we will only send it with your consent, and you can change your mind at any time.

Legal bases for processing

Where privacy law recognizes specific legal bases, we rely on your consent when you choose to contact us or subscribe to updates, on the performance of a contract when processing is needed to deliver a project you have engaged us for, on legitimate interests where we operate and improve our small business in ways a visitor would reasonably expect, and on compliance with legal obligations where the law requires us to retain certain records.

Cookies

This website uses a small number of cookies, primarily to remember your cookie choice and to support basic analytics. Our Cookie Policy explains each cookie, what it does and how you can control or remove cookies through your browser settings.

Sharing and third parties

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their marketing purposes. We share information only with service providers who help this website function, such as our hosting provider, with trusted production partners when a project you have engaged us for requires it, and with authorities when the law requires us to do so. When we work with clients on productions, the photographs, video and audio we create belong to the project itself, and we handle those materials under the terms agreed for each engagement.

Retention

We keep contact and project information only as long as we need it to serve you, maintain our business records, or meet legal requirements. Project media is retained according to the agreement for each production, after which it is archived or removed.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, correct it, ask us to delete it, limit or object to certain processing, receive a copy of your data in a portable format, and withdraw consent you have previously given. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@starvestmedia.com or (256) 392-4171 and our team will respond within a reasonable time. If you believe we have not handled your information properly, you also have the right to complain to a privacy regulator in your jurisdiction.

Children

This website is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted on the website.
