Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2, 2026

Draft. This policy is a working draft published while ShootHive is in closed beta. It will be replaced with a finalized version reviewed by counsel before public launch. Beta users will be notified by email of any material changes.

Overview

ShootHive (“ShootHive”, “we”, “us”) provides a production-management workspace for photo and video studios. This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use the ShootHive website and application, why we collect it, and how we handle it.

Data we collect

  • Account data — name, work email, password hash, and the studio you belong to.
  • Workspace content — projects, shoots, contacts, budgets, releases, and other records you or your teammates create inside ShootHive.
  • Usage data — basic logs (request paths, IP address, user agent, timestamps) used to operate the service, detect abuse, and improve reliability.
  • Connected services — when you connect Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, S3, or a calendar account, we store the tokens needed to call those APIs on your behalf. We do not copy your files into our infrastructure.

Why we process it

We process personal data to provide the ShootHive service to you and your studio: authenticate you, render your workspace, run background jobs (e.g. document rendering, calendar sync), keep audit trails for accountability, and meet legal obligations.

Who we share data with

We share the minimum data needed with infrastructure providers (hosting, database, email delivery, error tracking). We do not sell personal data and we do not share it with advertisers.

Where data is stored

Data is stored on infrastructure operated by ShootHive’s cloud providers. Originals of your media files remain in the external storage you connect (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or S3) — ShootHive only stores metadata and references.

Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold about you. You can export your workspace at any time and close your account by contacting us.
