Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 3, 2026

Blue6 Studios (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website at https://blue6studios.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit the Site, submit information through our forms (including photoshoot signups), or otherwise interact with us.

We are based in California and are committed to complying with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and other applicable privacy laws.

Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of personal information:

  • Identifiers: Name, unique personal identifier, IP address, device identifiers.
  • Contact Information: Email address, phone number, mailing address (if provided).
  • Model and Professional Information (submitted via forms): Age confirmation (must be 18+), modeling experience, availability, physical characteristics/measurements (for wardrobe fitting), social media or portfolio links, and any submitted photographs, videos, or other materials.
  • User-Generated Content: Information, photos, or other materials you voluntarily submit.
  • Internet and Electronic Activity: Browsing history and interactions on the Site, device and browser information, referring URLs.
  • Geolocation Data: Approximate location derived from IP address (generally city/region level).
  • Inferences: Inferences drawn from the above information regarding your interests or suitability for modeling opportunities.

We do not knowingly collect “sensitive personal information” as defined under CPRA (such as precise geolocation, health data, or biometrics used for identification) beyond what is reasonably necessary for modeling services. Published portfolio images and model names are handled pursuant to model releases and consents.

Sources of Information: Directly from you (forms, submissions), automatically through cookies and server logs, and from third parties (e.g., brand referrals).

How We Use Your Information

  • Provide and improve our photography/videography services and Site functionality.
  • Process and respond to photoshoot signup applications and client inquiries.
  • Display model portfolios (with appropriate consents and releases).
  • Analyze Site usage and performance.
  • Communicate with you about opportunities, updates, or support.
  • Ensure security, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.
  • Other purposes disclosed at the time of collection or with your consent.

How We Share Your Personal Information

We may share personal information with:

  • Service Providers: Web hosting providers, Cloudflare (for security, performance, and CDN services — see our Cookie Policy), email and form processing tools, analytics providers, and cloud storage services. These parties are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for our specified purposes.
  • Business Partners and Clients: Swimwear brands, fashion clients, and collaborators for whom we conduct photoshoots. This may include sharing model application details or final images in connection with our services (subject to model releases).
  • Legal and Safety Purposes: When required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, or property.
  • With your consent or at your direction.

We do not “sell” personal information for monetary consideration in the traditional sense. However, certain sharing with business partners may constitute “sharing” under CPRA.

Sale or Sharing of Personal Information and Your Opt-Out Rights

Portfolio images and related model information may be retained for archival and portfolio purposes subject to deletion requests and release terms (exceptions may apply for already-published or contractually required content).

Our Site and services are not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in certain contexts). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. All models must be 18 or older. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately so we can delete it.
