Behind the Scenes: Our Data Policy
Odd Frame Media — Last Updated: April 2026
Look, nobody enjoys reading a privacy policy. So we wrote ours the way we'd want to read one — honestly, plainly, and without putting you to sleep. Here's exactly what we do (and don't do) with your data.
🎬 When You Get in Touch
If you fill out our contact form or email us about a project, we collect your name, email address, and whatever details you share about the work you have in mind.
We use this information for one reason only: to reply to you and (hopefully) make something great together. We won't add you to a mailing list, send you newsletters you didn't ask for, or pass your details to anyone else. Your data simply sits with us until you ask us to delete it, or until 12 months have passed — whichever comes first.
🔒 The Stuff Our Servers Log Automatically
Every time someone visits a website, the server records some basic technical information — things like IP addresses, browser type, and connection data. This isn't unique to us; every website on the internet does this.
We use this data purely to keep the site running properly — blocking spam, stopping bots, and making sure nothing breaks. We don't use it to figure out who you are, and we never will.
🎥 Analytics — Only If You Say So
If you click [ FAIR ENOUGH ] on our cookie banner, we switch on anonymous analytics. This helps us understand things like which pages people spend the most time on, where visitors tend to drop off, and how the site performs on different devices.
We're filmmakers — we care about how an experience lands. The analytics are basically our version of watching an audience in a cinema. But here's what matters:
- Nobody's name, email, or identity is ever attached to this data
- We use it only to improve this website
- We do not sell it, share it for advertising, or hand it to any third party for their own purposes — ever
✂️ Changing Your Mind
You're in charge here. If you want to opt out of analytics at any point, just clear your browser cookies — that does the job immediately. If you want us to delete any personal information you've shared, like a contact form submission, just send us a message through our contact page and we'll take care of it within a few days, no awkward back-and-forth required.
📬 Questions?
If something here isn't clear or you want to know more about how we handle your data, just reach out through our contact page or email us directly at theoddframemedia@gmail.com — a real person will read it and get back to you.
We don't share, sell, or trade your data. That's not the kind of production house we are.
