Privacy Policy

Parachute Stories is a video production company based in Dallas Fort Worth, Texas, owned by Stephen Simmang. This policy explains what information we collect through parachutestories.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.

We only collect information you choose to share with us, plus limited technical information that websites collect automatically.

• Information you give us: When you email us or book a call, we receive your name, email address, and anything you include in your message or booking, such as your phone number or details about your project.
• Technical information: Like most websites, our hosting provider and the services embedded on our site may automatically collect basic information such as your IP address, browser type, device, and pages visited. This helps the site work properly and stay secure.

We use your information to:

• Respond to your questions and schedule calls
• Plan, produce, and deliver video projects
• Send project updates, agreements, and invoices
• Keep our website working and secure

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Some parts of our website are provided by trusted third parties, which have their own privacy policies:

• Google Calendar and Google Workspace, for booking calls and email
• Vimeo, for playing the films on our site. Vimeo may use cookies when you watch a video.
• Google Fonts, for displaying text on our site
• Our website hosting provider, to run the site

These services may collect information as described in their own privacy policies.

Our site does not use its own advertising or tracking cookies. Embedded services like Vimeo may set cookies when you play a video. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings.

We publish a client's film, name, photo, bio, or contact details only with that client's permission. Some client pages are unlisted, meaning they are not linked anywhere on our site or shown in search results, and they can only be viewed by people who have the link. Clients can ask us to update or remove their page at any time.

We keep emails, booking details, and project information for as long as we need them to serve you, meet our business and legal obligations, and keep accurate records. Project files may be kept so we can provide copies or edits later, unless you ask us to delete them.

You can ask us to:

• Tell you what personal information we have about you
• Correct information that's wrong
• Delete your information, unless we need to keep it for legal or business reasons

To make a request, email us at the address below.

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We take reasonable steps to protect your information. No website or online service is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
