This Comprehensive Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, anissastudio.com, or engage with our cinematic production, creative direction, and media services.

This policy is designed to comply with global and domestic privacy standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and other applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with you (“Personal Information”).

A. Information You Provide Directly

  • Contact Data: Name, email address, phone number, and physical address.

  • Business Inquiry Data: Information regarding your organization (nonprofit, public institution, etc.) and project details provided via inquiry forms.

  • Communication Data: Records and copies of your correspondence if you contact us.

B. Information Collected Automatically

  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and device identifiers.

  • Usage Data: Information about how you navigate our website, the pages you view, and the time spent on those pages, referring/exit pages, and interactions (e.g., link clicks).

  • Cookies, Pixels, and Similar Technologies: We utilize cookies, SDKs, “pixels” (such as the Meta Pixel), web beacons, tags, scripts, and similar technologies to understand usage, measure campaign effectiveness, provide analytics, and support advertising. These technologies may collect or infer identifiers and activity such as IP address, device and browser information, approximate location, and interactions with our ads and site.

  • Tracking “Scanners” and Automated Collection: Some technologies used on our website or embedded in emails (including pixels, tags, scripts, and web beacons) function like “scanners” by automatically detecting when you visit a page, open an email, or interact with content, and by transmitting event data (e.g., page view, button click, form start/submit, or conversion) to us and/or third-party platforms. We use this data for analytics, security, fraud prevention, and marketing as described below.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for professional and business purposes, including:

  • Service Delivery: To provide and administer our services (including producing cinematic media, managing campaigns, coordinating live experiences), to set up and manage client accounts or project communications, and to deliver proposals, contracts, invoices, and project materials.

  • Communication: To respond to inquiries from mission-driven brands and institutions, provide customer support, and send administrative messages (e.g., confirmations, updates, and policy notices).

  • Marketing & Analytics: To analyze website traffic, understand engagement, optimize user experience, measure performance of marketing, and (where permitted) retarget prospective partners using cookies/pixels and similar technologies.

  • Business Operations: To maintain internal records, audit interactions, perform quality assurance, and develop or improve our offerings.

  • Compliance & Security: To fulfill legal obligations, enforce our agreements, and protect against fraudulent, abusive, or predatory digital activity.

3. Cookies, Pixels, “Scanners,” and Third-Party Tracking

Our website uses cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to enhance functionality, understand site performance, and (where permitted) deliver personalized content and advertising.

  • Cookies: Small data files stored on your device. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. If you disable cookies, some features may not function properly.

  • Pixels / Web Beacons / Tags / Scripts (“Tracking Pixels”): We use tracking pixels and similar code (including those provided by platforms such as Meta and Google) to understand whether you engaged with our site or ads, attribute conversions, and build audiences. These tools may allow third-party platforms to collect or receive information from our website to provide measurement services and targeted advertising.

  • “Scanners” (Automated Detection): As used in this policy, “scanners” refers to automated technologies (including pixels, tags, SDKs, and scripts) that detect and transmit event data when you visit our pages, interact with content, or open/engage with our emails. This may include page views, clicks, form interactions, approximate location derived from IP address, and device/browser identifiers.

  • Cookie Consent Banner / Preference Tool: We use a cookie consent banner (or similar preference tool) to help visitors manage cookie categories and, where applicable, to opt in or opt out of certain tracking (including advertising-related cookies/pixels). Your selections may be stored (e.g., via a cookie or local storage) so we can remember your preferences.

  • Your Choices / Controls: You can manage cookie settings in your browser and, depending on your location, through any cookie banner or preference tool we may provide. You can also opt-out of certain interest-based advertising through the DAA Consumer Choice Tool or the NAI Opt-Out Tool. Note that opt-outs are often device- and browser-specific.

  • Do Not Track: Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no consistent industry standard, we do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals in all cases.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for processing Personal Information includes:

  • Consent: Where you have given clear consent (e.g., subscribing to a newsletter).

  • Contract: Processing necessary for the performance of a production contract.

  • Legitimate Interests: To improve our cultural intelligence services and ensure website security.

5. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your Personal Information (subject to certain exceptions):

  • Right to Know / Access: You may request disclosure of (i) the categories of Personal Information we collected, (ii) the categories of sources, (iii) our business or commercial purposes for collecting, using, disclosing, “selling,” or “sharing” Personal Information, (iv) the categories of third parties to whom we disclose Personal Information, and (v) the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you.

  • Right to Correct: You may request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information.

  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale / Sharing: We do not sell Personal Information for money. However, under California law, certain disclosures of Personal Information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising (such as through some cookies, pixels, and analytics/advertising tags) may be considered a “sale” or “sharing.” You may opt out of such “sale”/“sharing” by contacting us using the information below and/or using any on-site preference controls (including our cookie consent banner) we make available.

  • Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: We do not use or disclose sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those permitted by law.

Submitting Requests: To exercise the rights described above, contact us using the contact information in Section 12. We may need to verify your identity and confirm your California residency before processing your request. Authorized agents may submit requests on your behalf where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authorization and verification of your identity.

Notice Regarding Tracking Technologies: Use of cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies on our site may involve “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. California residents may request to opt out of such “sharing” as described above.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information (California Residents): California residents may opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of Personal Information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA. We offer opt-out controls through our cookie consent banner/preference tool (where available) and you may also submit an opt-out request by contacting us using the information in Section 12. If you use a different browser or device, you may need to renew your preference selections.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure (Including Analytics, Pixels, and Advertising Partners)

We may share your information with:

  • Service Providers / Processors: Third-party vendors who assist with hosting, analytics, communications tools, scheduling, project management, payment processing (if applicable), and media distribution.

  • Analytics and Advertising Partners (Pixels/Tags): We may disclose certain identifiers and usage data to analytics and advertising partners (such as Meta and Google) through cookies, pixels, SDKs, and similar technologies to measure performance, attribute conversions, and (where permitted) deliver interest-based advertising.

  • Professional Advisors: Such as accountants, auditors, and attorneys, where necessary for business purposes and subject to appropriate obligations.

  • Legal Requirements and Protection of Rights: When required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Anissa Studio LLC, our clients/partners, users, or others.

We may use artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine-learning enabled tools in connection with our services and communications, including for content generation, editing, summarization, ideation, translation, or to support user interactions (for example, responding to inquiries, routing requests, or assisting with customer support). Where AI is used, it is intended to improve efficiency and quality; however, AI outputs may be inaccurate or incomplete.

  • No Professional Advice: AI-generated or AI-assisted content is provided for informational and creative/operational purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice.
