7. Data Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
While we take these precautions seriously, no online system is 100% secure, and users submit data at their own risk.

9. Media Rights & Usage

By participating in any McDon Productions or affiliated brand session (including Badass Visuals), you grant McDon Productions and its assigns an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to use, reproduce, publish, edit, and distribute the captured media—including photos, videos, and designs—for promotional, advertising, portfolio, educational, or commercial purposes in any medium, now known or hereafter developed.

This includes use on websites, social platforms, digital campaigns, printed materials, and presentations.

Clients may request in writing prior to production if they wish for their media to remain private. Once production or editing has begun, all creative and promotional rights remain with McDon Productions.

Raw files, working files, and original project assets remain the intellectual property of McDon Productions unless explicitly purchased or licensed in writing.

However, McDon Productions retains the right to:

  • Preserve project records, contracts, and deliverables for portfolio, legal, and business purposes.
