Your footage is your story. I treat it with full respect and discretion. Editing may be creative, but privacy is non-negotiable.

Ownership Rights
Final exported video belongs fully to the client after full payment is received. Project files (timeline files, raw exports) are not included unless explicitly requested and paid for.
Portfolio Usage
I may include up to 30 seconds of final edited footage in my private portfolio or showreel, unless client requests confidentiality in writing.
Client Rights
Clients may request full deletion of all shared files and backups at any time. I will comply within 3 working days.
