Skill Videos handles raw footage, rough cuts, campaign films and brand material every day, most of it belonging to someone else. This policy sets out plainly what personal information we collect through this website and our services, why we hold it, and what you can ask us to do with it.
Skill Videos is the video production and post-production brand of Skill Service LTD., a company registered in Bangladesh with its head office in Dhaka and a member of Skill Ventures. Throughout this policy, "we", "us" and "our" refer to Skill Service LTD., which is the party responsible for the personal information described here.
This policy explains what we collect when you visit this website, contact us, request a free test cut, book a meeting, or work with us as a client, how that information is used and protected, and the choices you have over it.
We only collect information that we need in order to answer an enquiry, deliver production work, or keep the website running. Depending on how you interact with us, this may include:
Contact and enquiry details — your name, email address, phone number, company name, and the content of the message you send through our forms, by email, or when booking a discovery call.
Test cut requests — the details you give us about your footage, platform and goal, and any clip or download link you share so we can cut a sample.
Project material — briefs, raw footage, audio, scripts, graphics, brand assets, reference links, review comments and other files you or your team upload or send to us so that we can carry out the work.
People who appear in footage — faces, voices and likenesses of presenters, actors, staff or customers contained in the material you send us. We process this only to produce the work you have commissioned.
Billing details — company billing name and address, invoice records and payment references. Card details are entered directly with our payment processor and are never stored on our systems.
Technical and usage data — IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring page and approximate location, collected through analytics cookies and embedded video players.
We do not ask for special categories of data (such as health, political or biometric information), and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
To respond to you — replying to enquiries, test cut requests, emails and booked meetings.
To deliver the work — editing, grading, sound, motion design, AI-assisted creation, review rounds, format versioning and final delivery, and communicating with your team during a project.
To run our business — quoting, invoicing, taking payment, keeping accounting records and enforcing contracts.
To improve the website — understanding which pages and work samples people find useful, and fixing problems.
To show our work — only where you have agreed in writing, featuring finished projects in our showreel, on this site, or on our Vimeo channel. You can withdraw this permission at any time.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use client footage or deliverables to train third-party AI models.
Footage and finished films are treated as confidential client material, separate from ordinary personal data:
Ownership — you keep all rights in the material you send us and in the finished deliverables once paid for. We claim no ownership in either.
Use — we open, edit and store your material only to carry out the work you have commissioned. We do not publish, share or repurpose it without written permission.
Unreleased content — embargoed, pre-launch or under-NDA projects are handled on restricted access and are never shown in our reel or portfolio until you have released them publicly and approved their use.
AI tools — where a project uses AI-assisted generation or enhancement, your footage is processed only to produce your deliverable. We select tools that do not retain client material for model training, and we will tell you which tools are used on request.
People in your footage — obtaining consent or release from anyone who appears in the material you supply is your responsibility as the party who filmed or owns it.
Deletion — you can ask us to delete project files at any time after final delivery, and we will confirm when it is done.
We process personal information only where we have a proper reason to do so:
Performance of a contract — where the information is needed to quote for, carry out or invoice production work, including a free test cut.
Consent — for featuring your project in our portfolio, and for analytics cookies where consent is required. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Legitimate interests — to answer enquiries, secure our systems, and understand how the website is used, balanced against your privacy.
Legal obligation — to keep tax, accounting and company records for the periods the law requires.
Client footage, project files and business records are held on access-controlled cloud infrastructure and company systems. Our safeguards include encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest with our hosting providers, accounts limited to the staff who need them, multi-factor authentication on administrative tools, regular backups, password-protected review links, and confidentiality obligations for every employee, contractor and freelancer. Where a client requires it, we work under a signed non-disclosure agreement.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If a breach affects your personal information or unreleased material we will investigate it, take steps to contain it, and notify you and the relevant authority where we are required to do so.
Enquiries that do not become projects — up to 24 months from your last contact with us.
Test cut footage — deleted within 30 days of sending you the sample, unless the project goes ahead.
Client footage, project files and deliverables — for the duration of the engagement and up to 6 months after final delivery, unless you ask us to remove them sooner or your contract sets a different period.
Contracts, invoices and accounting records — for as long as tax and company law requires, normally at least 6 years.
Portfolio use — until you withdraw permission.
Analytics data — in aggregated or pseudonymised form, according to the retention settings of the tool, normally no more than 26 months.
When a retention period ends, information is deleted or irreversibly anonymised.
You can ask us at any time to:
Access a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
Delete information or footage we no longer have a reason to keep.
Restrict or object to a particular use of your information, including portfolio use of your project.
Withdraw consent you previously gave, for example to non-essential cookies.
Receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format, or have it sent to another provider.
Email support@skill.ventures with your request. We may ask you to confirm your identity, and we will respond within 30 days. Making a request is free and will never affect the service you receive from us.
We may update this policy as our services, tools or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top of the page always shows the current version, and material changes will be announced on this page. We encourage you to review it from time to time.
