Privacy Policy

Who we are

CineTech Digital (“CTD”, “we”, “us”) is a video production company serving the Greater Toronto Area and Miami. This policy covers the cinetech.digital website and the CTD Ingest Studio macOS application. Questions? Email us at info@cinetech.digital.

The short version

• We don’t sell your personal information. Ever.
• This website has no accounts and sets no tracking cookies of its own.
• CTD Ingest Studio runs entirely on your Mac — it sends nothing to us or anyone else.
• When you contact us, we only use what you send to respond to you.

The website

cinetech.digital is a static website. We do not require accounts, and we do not set our own tracking or advertising cookies.

• Contact and support forms. The forms on this site open your own email application — nothing is stored on our servers. We receive only the email you choose to send (typically your name, email address, and message) and use it solely to respond to you.
• Embedded content. Some pages embed third-party content such as YouTube videos and externally hosted images. When you load or play that content, those providers may set their own cookies and collect data under their own privacy policies (e.g. Google/YouTube).
• Hosting logs. Like virtually all websites, our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested) for security and reliability. We do not use these to identify or profile visitors.

CTD Ingest Studio (macOS app)

CTD Ingest Studio is designed to be private by default. It is a local-only application:

• No accounts, no sign-in. The app never asks you to create an account.
• No telemetry or analytics. The app does not collect usage data, crash reports, or analytics, and does not transmit any data to CTD or to third parties.
• Everything stays on your machines. Your footage, photos, project settings, videographer names, and ingest history are stored locally on your Mac (in ~/Library/Application Support/CTD Ingest Studio/) and on the destination drives you choose. None of it is uploaded anywhere.
• Metadata you create is yours. Operator names, camera info, color settings, and checksums are written into manifest files, Finder tags, and extended attributes alongside your media — on your own drives, under your control. Delete the files or the app’s data folder and that data is gone.

Because the app collects nothing, there is nothing for us to share, sell, or lose.

Email correspondence

If you email us — for a booking, beta access, or support — we keep the correspondence for as long as needed to help you and maintain our business records. We do not add you to marketing lists without your consent, and we never sell or rent your contact information.

Children

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

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you (for us, that’s essentially just email correspondence). Email info@cinetech.digital and we’ll take care of it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we’ll update this page and the effective date above. Material changes to how CTD Ingest Studio handles data would also be noted in the app’s release notes.
