This Privacy Policy explains how Scarlet Pictures (“Scarlet Pictures,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the film and video work of David May, handles information in connection with this website (the “Site”).
This is a practical notice for a small, California-based creative portfolio. It is not legal advice.
1. Who we are
Scarlet Pictures is the name David May uses for his films, video work, screenplays, and related creative projects.

2. The short version
- We do not use analytics, advertising pixels, or tracking cookies.
- The Site has no sign-up, comment, or contact forms.
- Videos are hosted on YouTube, but nothing loads from YouTube until you click play.
- If you email us, we use your message only to reply.
3. Information we collect
Information you send us
If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and whatever you write. We use it only to read and reply to your message, and we keep it in our ordinary email records.
Information collected automatically by our host
The Site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare may automatically process limited technical data to deliver and protect the Site, such as:
- IP address and approximate location derived from it
- Browser and device type
- Pages requested, referring URL, and timestamps
- Security and request logs
- Network error reports, if Cloudflare’s error reporting is enabled
We do not use this data to build profiles of visitors.
Cookies
The Site itself does not set cookies. See Section 4 for what happens when you choose to play a video.
4. Videos and YouTube
Films and reels on the Site are hosted on YouTube, a Google service. To protect your privacy:
- Each video shows a still image stored on our own Site. Nothing is requested from YouTube or Google when the page loads.
- When you click play, the video loads from youtube-nocookie.com. From that point, YouTube may set cookies or similar storage on your device and collect information such as your IP address and viewing activity, under Google’s own policies.
Please review the Google Privacy Policy and YouTube Terms of Service before playing a video. If you prefer not to share data with Google, simply don’t press play.
5. How we use information
We use the limited information above to:
- Reply to your email
- Operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Site
- Comply with law and enforce our Terms
We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
6. Who we share information with
- Cloudflare, which hosts and protects the Site
- Google / YouTube, only if you click play on a video (Section 4)
- Our email provider, to receive and send email
- Authorities or others when required by law, or to protect rights and safety
7. Retention
Email is kept as long as reasonably needed for correspondence and ordinary records, then deleted. Host logs are kept by Cloudflare under its own retention practices.
8. Children
The Site is a general-audience film portfolio and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has emailed us, contact us and we will delete it.
9. California privacy rights
If you are a California resident, you may ask to know, delete, or correct personal information we hold about you, and you won’t be treated differently for asking. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law. To make a request, email [email protected] with the subject line “Privacy request.” We will verify the request using the email address you contacted us from.
10. Visitors outside the United States
The Site is operated from the United States, and information is processed there. For visitors in the EU or UK, YouTube content loads only after you choose to play it.
11. Links to other sites
The Site links to other sites, such as YouTube, IMDb, and Amazon. Their own privacy policies apply once you leave our Site.
12. Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date will change when we do.
