Website privacy notice

Last updated August 6, 2026

This notice explains what information the Merchan Films website handles, why it is used, and how to ask questions about it. Merchan Films is an owner-run video and photography studio serving Orange County, California.

Information you choose to send

The inquiry form asks for your name and email address, along with project details that help Michael prepare a useful reply. Phone number, language preference, and most planning details are optional. If you use a Calendly link, the information you enter there is handled through Calendly's scheduling service.

Website and analytics data

The site uses Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand visits, page performance, and which parts of the site are useful. Those services may process technical information such as device type, browser, approximate location, referring page, and on-site interactions. The site does not ask for precise device location, camera access, or microphone access.

How information is used

Inquiry information is used to respond, discuss availability, prepare a plan or quote, provide requested services, prevent form abuse, and maintain necessary business records. Website analytics are used to improve the site's content, accessibility, reliability, and marketing.

Service providers

Cloudflare hosts and protects the site, Google provides analytics, Resend delivers inquiry emails, and Calendly provides optional scheduling. These providers process information only as part of supplying their services and operate under their own privacy terms.

Retention and your choices

Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed to respond, provide services, maintain business records, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations. You can avoid sending optional form fields, use browser controls to limit analytics, or ask to access, correct, or delete information you previously submitted.

Children's information

This business website and its inquiry form are intended for adults arranging services. Do not use the form to send sensitive information about a child. School and youth media is handled privately with the responsible organization or adult.
