This policy applies to clients, creators, applicants and visitors in the United States. It is part of the Terms of Service. It does not cover third-party websites or services, which have their own privacy practices.

03How we use it
- To create and secure your account and confirm you are 18 or older.
- To arrange, perform, deliver and support bookings, including matching clients with creators.
- To communicate with you about your account, bookings and the Services.
- To take payments, issue refunds and pay creators, and to meet tax and accounting obligations.
- To review creator applications, verify identity and run background checks.
- To keep people safe, prevent fraud and abuse, and enforce our terms.
- To keep a record of the agreements you accepted, and to resolve disputes.
- To market RealShot. We use booking content for marketing only with the client's consent, as the Client Booking & Usage Rights Terms describe.
- To fix problems and improve the Services, and to comply with the law.
05We do not sell or share your information
RealShot does not sell personal information, does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and has not done so in the past 12 months. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or trackers.
Because we do not sell or share personal information, there is nothing to opt out of. We still treat a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as a valid request to opt out.
07How long we keep it
| Information | How long |
|---|---|
| Account and profile | Until your account is deleted |
| Creator live location | While the creator is available for bookings, and for a short time after, then deleted |
| Delivered files | For the period described in the Client Booking & Usage Rights Terms, then deleted |
| Bookings, payments and refunds | As long as tax, accounting and other laws require |
| Agreement records and creator application history | Kept after an account is deleted, for as long as needed to prove what was agreed and to resolve disputes |
| Background check records | As long as the law requires |
| Security logs and error reports | As long as needed to keep the Services secure |
We may keep any information for longer where the law requires it, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Deleted information may remain in backups for a limited time before it is overwritten.
08Deleting your account
Delete your account at any time in your account settings, or email support@realshot.app from the address on your account. We then remove your account, profile and creator application from the Services. We keep only the records described under How long we keep it, which no longer link to an active account.
09Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you and get a copy, correct it, and delete it. Email us to make a request. We will verify your identity before acting on it, and respond within 45 days, or any other period the law requires or allows, including an extension where permitted. If we decline your request, we will explain why, and you can appeal by replying to our decision.
10California privacy rights
If you live in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act) gives you these rights:
- Right to know what personal information we collect, use and disclose, and to get a copy.
- Right to delete personal information we collected from you, subject to legal exceptions.
- Right to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do neither.
- Right to limit the use of sensitive personal information. We use it only to provide the Services and as the law allows, so this right does not apply.
- Right not to be discriminated against for using any of these rights.
