Who runs this site

Rhône Studio is Cameron Melcher, a photographer, filmmaker and drone pilot based in Tampa, Florida. Questions about this page or your data go to cameron@rhonestudio.com or (813) 482-1083.

The contact form

The form asks for your name, email, company or brand, project type, where the pictures will run, the date you need them, budget range and the brief. If you start from a photo, a short description of that photo is sent with it. The form also notes which page you sent it from, the site or campaign link that brought you here, and whether you asked for the rate card, a certificate of insurance or the deck. They are used only to reply to you and to quote the job. Nothing is added to a mailing list.

Submissions are received by Netlify Forms (Netlify hosts this site), which runs an Akismet spam check on them, and arrive in my email. I delete them 24 months after our last conversation, unless they become part of a booked job's records, which I keep as long as tax law requires.

Analytics

Google Analytics 4 counts visits so I can see which pages are useful. It sets two first-party cookies, _ga and _ga_C3JYCXYBRD, which hold a random ID so a repeat visit counts once. They last up to two years unless you clear them; Chrome caps them at about 13 months and Safari much sooner. Reports keep event data for 14 months.

It also counts a few actions: which buttons and contact links are pressed, when a reel is played (with the reel's title), and when a brief is sent. For a sent brief it records the project type, the budget range, where the pictures will run, which page or link the visit came from and whether a photo was attached. It never records your name, email, company or the brief itself.

• Google Signals and ad personalization are off, there is no Google Ads link, and ad cookies are never set.
• Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses.
• In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, analytics cookies are off unless you switch them on below.
• If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, analytics cookies stay off. Browsers' Do Not Track header has no agreed meaning, so the site follows Global Privacy Control instead.

With analytics off, no analytics cookies are set and no ID is kept for you; the tag may still send a cookieless ping that a page was viewed, which Google uses only for aggregate counts. You can also use Google's opt-out browser add-on.

Video and links

The reels on the home, product and drone pages are YouTube videos (privacy-enhanced mode). Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play; after that, Google's YouTube terms apply to that video.

Instagram and YouTube are plain links. There are no social embeds, like buttons or tracking pixels on this site.

Fonts and hosting

The typefaces are served from this site, not from Google Fonts, so loading a page doesn't send your IP address to a font service. Netlify's servers keep the standard request logs (IP address, browser, page requested) that any web host needs to deliver and protect a site.

What doesn't happen

Your information is never sold, rented or shared for advertising. There are no ads on this site and no data brokers. The site is meant for businesses and isn't directed at children under 13; I don't knowingly collect their information.

Your choices

To see, correct or delete anything you've sent, email cameron@rhonestudio.com. I'll confirm it's done within 30 days.

If this page changes, the date at the top changes with it.
