PRIVACY POLICY

​

What information I collect

​

When you contact YVCreator, request a quote or book a project, I may collect:

​

  • Your name and contact details

  • Information about your business or project

  • Messages, briefs and files you send me

  • Billing and payment information

  • Images, video, audio or voice recordings connected to your project

  • Consent or release information where relevant

  • Basic website usage data collected through cookies or analytics

 

Please don’t send sensitive personal information unless it’s genuinely needed for the project.

How I use your information

​

I use your information to:

  • Respond to enquiries

  • Prepare quotes and project proposals

  • Plan, produce and deliver work

  • Process payments and maintain business records

  • Communicate with you about your project

  • Improve the website and services

  • Meet legal, accounting or regulatory obligations

I only collect and use information for a clear and legitimate purpose.

 

Sharing your information

​

I don’t sell your personal information.

​

Information may be shared with trusted service providers when necessary, including website hosting, file storage, accounting, payment or project-delivery platforms. These providers may process information outside South Africa and are expected to protect it appropriately.

Information may also be disclosed where required by law.

How long information is kept

​

I keep personal information only for as long as it’s reasonably needed for the project, business administration or legal requirements.

Project files may be retained for a limited period after delivery. Clients should safely download and store their completed files.

​

Your rights

​

Subject to applicable law, you may ask to:

  • Access the personal information held about you

  • Correct inaccurate or outdated information

  • Request deletion of information that is no longer needed

  • Object to certain uses of your information

  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

 

To make a request, contact info@yvcreator.com.

 

You may also raise a concern with the Information Regulator of South Africa at inforegulator.org.za.

​

Cookies

​

This website may use essential cookies and basic analytics tools to keep the site working and understand how visitors use it.

​

You can restrict or remove cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the website may not work as intended.

​

Security

​

Reasonable steps are taken to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure. No online system can be guaranteed completely secure, but any suspected breach will be handled in accordance with applicable law.

​

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

​

Using this website

​

The content on this website is provided for general information and to showcase YVCreator’s services and portfolio.

​

You may browse and share links to the website, but you may not copy, reproduce, download, modify or commercially use its images, video, audio or written content without permission.

​

Quotes and bookings

​

Project scope, pricing, timelines, deliverables and payment terms will be confirmed in a written quote or project agreement.

​

A booking is only confirmed once any required deposit has been paid and written confirmation has been provided.

​

If a project quote or agreement differs from these website terms, the project-specific agreement will take priority.

​

Payments

​

Invoices must be paid by the date stated on the invoice.

Final work may be withheld until all outstanding amounts have been paid. Additional work outside the agreed scope may be quoted and charged separately.

​

Cancellations and rescheduling

​

Cancellation, postponement and rescheduling terms will be included in the relevant quote or project agreement.

​

Costs already incurred and work already completed remain payable. Deposits may be non-refundable where time has been reserved or expenses have been committed.

​

Weather-dependent shoots and circumstances outside either party’s reasonable control will be handled as fairly as possible.

​

Your responsibilities

​

You agree to provide accurate information, clear feedback and the files, permissions and approvals needed to complete the work.

​

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you are responsible for obtaining permission to use any locations, music, branding, footage, photographs or other material you supply.

​

You’re also responsible for securing permission from participants, guardians or property owners where required, unless YVCreator has specifically agreed to handle this.

Creative work and revisions

​

Every project includes the deliverables and revision allowance stated in its quote.

​

Requests outside the agreed scope may require a revised timeline and additional fee. Creative differences that don’t involve an error or failure to follow the agreed brief aren’t automatically grounds for a refund.

​

Ownership and usage rights

​

You retain ownership of material you supply.

​

Usage rights for completed work will be set out in the project quote or agreement and take effect once full payment has been received.

​

YVCreator retains ownership of working files, raw footage, raw photographs, project files, templates, processes and other underlying production material unless their transfer is specifically included in writing.

​

Unless confidentiality has been agreed beforehand, YVCreator may display completed work in a portfolio, on social media or in promotional material. If a project must remain private, please raise this before work begins.

​

Delivery and file storage

​

Delivery dates are estimates unless a fixed deadline has been agreed in writing.

Timelines may change if feedback, content, approval or payment is delayed.

​

YVCreator isn’t responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside reasonable control.

​

Clients are responsible for downloading and backing up delivered files. Long-term storage isn’t guaranteed unless agreed separately.

​

Third-party

platforms

​

This website may contain embedded media or links to third-party websites and platforms. YVCreator isn’t responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices or accessibility.

​

Liability

​

YVCreator will take reasonable care when providing services but can’t guarantee a particular commercial, audience or platform result.

To the extent permitted by law, YVCreator won’t be liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the website or services. Any direct liability will be limited to the amount paid for the service connected to the claim.

​

Nothing in these terms excludes rights or responsibilities that can’t legally be excluded.

​

Governing law

​

These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa. Any dispute will fall under the jurisdiction of the appropriate South African courts unless another written agreement applies.

​
