Privacy Policy.

Last updated: 6 May 2026 · Effective date: 6 May 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Margot Marie ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

Because of the nature of our work, we treat privacy not as a compliance exercise but as a core promise. If you have any concerns at all, contact us at info@margot-marie.com.

1. Who we are

Margot Marie is a trading name of Z-M Digital Projects Pty Ltd (ACN 697 050 721 · ABN 41 697 050 721), a media production company based in New South Wales, Australia, with operations in Sydney. We provide photography, video, content production, and career management services for adult women who choose to work with us.

For the purposes of this policy, Z-M Digital Projects Pty Ltd (trading as Margot Marie) is the data controller of any personal information we collect from you.

2. Information we collect

We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for our functions and activities. The categories of information we may collect include:

From visitors to our website

• Information you submit through the application form (first name, last name, email, phone, age, city, the photos you choose to attach, and any message you include).
• Technical information automatically captured by our hosting provider (IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, time of visit) for security and basic analytics.

From models, talent, and collaborators

• Identity verification documents (government-issued photo ID and proof of age) — required by Australian law for any adult content production.
• Contact details, banking or payment details for talent payments, and tax-related information where required.
• Health declarations relevant to the type of work being undertaken.
• Photographs, video, and audio recordings produced during shoots, together with associated consent and release documentation.
• Communications between you and our team (email, messaging, phone notes).

What we do not collect

We do not knowingly collect information about your race, religion, political views, sexual orientation, criminal record, or other sensitive categories unless that information is voluntarily provided by you and directly relevant to a service you have asked us to provide.

3. How we use your information

We use personal information for the purposes for which it was collected, and for purposes that are reasonably related and that you would expect. Specifically:

• To respond to your application or enquiry and to communicate with you about it.
• To verify identity and age as required by Australian law for any adult content engagement.
• To produce and deliver the services you have engaged us for — including organising shoots, processing imagery, distributing approved content, and managing accounts on subscription platforms where that is part of the engagement.
• To pay you, where you are a talent or contractor.
• To meet our legal, tax, and record-keeping obligations.
• To improve our services, train our team, and develop new offerings — using only de-identified or aggregate data wherever possible.

We will not use your personal information for direct marketing without your consent, and any direct marketing we do send will include an easy way to opt out.

4. Who we share information with

We share personal information only where it is necessary, and only with parties bound to confidentiality obligations equivalent to ours. Categories of recipients include:

• Service providers who help us operate the business — for example our hosting provider, email provider, payment processor, and accountants. They access only the information they need to perform their function.
• Subscription content platforms (such as those operated under your stage name) when distribution is part of the service you have engaged us to provide, and only with your written consent for each piece of content.
• Government, regulatory, or law-enforcement bodies where we are legally required to do so — for example in response to a valid subpoena, court order, or formal request under Australian law.
• Professional advisers (lawyers, auditors) bound by professional duties of confidentiality.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share it with advertising networks. Your imagery is never disclosed to anyone outside the production team without your specific, signed consent for each disclosure.

5. Data security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, and disclosure. These steps include:

• Encryption in transit (HTTPS) and encryption at rest for stored content where supported by our providers.
• Access controls limiting who in our team can view different categories of information.
• Physical security at our studios, including controlled access to areas where personal documents and content are handled.
• Stripping of embedded metadata (such as GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, and timestamps) from imagery before any external use.
• Regular review of our practices and providers.

No system is completely secure. We will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) of any eligible data breach in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

6. Cookies and analytics

Our website uses minimal cookies — primarily for the age-gate confirmation and (where enabled) a small amount of basic analytics that helps us understand which pages are visited. We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising.

We load fonts from Google Fonts. Google's privacy practices are governed by the Google Privacy Policy. If you would prefer not to load Google Fonts, you can disable third-party scripts in your browser; the site will still function with system fonts as a fallback.

7. How long we keep information

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. As a general guide:

• Application enquiries that do not progress to engagement — deleted within 12 months unless you request earlier deletion.
• Records relating to engagements (model agreements, payments, tax records) — retained for a minimum of 7 years to meet Australian tax and record-keeping obligations.
• Identity verification records — retained for the duration of the engagement plus the legally required period afterwards.
• Imagery and content — retained for as long as the engagement permits, and deleted on request unless we are legally required to keep it.

8. Your rights

Under Australian privacy law you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct any information that is inaccurate, out of date, or incomplete.
• Request deletion of personal information that we no longer have a lawful reason to keep.
• Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time.
• Make a complaint about our handling of your personal information (see section 11).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@margot-marie.com. We will respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

9. Children

Our services and this website are not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected information from a person under 18, we will delete it immediately. If you believe a minor has provided us with information, please contact us so we can take action.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent version. Material changes will be communicated by email to active collaborators and prominently on this site. Continued use of our services after the effective date of an updated policy constitutes acceptance of the changes.

11. Complaints

If you believe we have breached the Australian Privacy Principles or mishandled your personal information, please contact us first at info@margot-marie.com. We will acknowledge your complaint within 7 days and respond fully within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
