Data Theft Protection (Cyber Liability) Insurance

If your photography or videography business falls victim to a cybercrime, Full Frame Insurance (FFI) has your back with Data Breach Coverage, also known as Cyber Liability Insurance.

Benefits of Data Breach Coverage for Photographers and Videographers

The ability to book photoshoots or video sessions online makes it convenient for your customers, but it can also make your business a target for hackers. A single breach can expose customer payment info, photos, and other data — and harm your business’s reputation. That’s where Data Breach Coverage comes in.

This insurance is an optional add-on for FFI’s Annual and Annual+ plans that covers data restoration claims and lawsuits, so you don’t have to pay out of pocket. This coverage is also designed to:

Hackers Don’t Just Steal Data —They Damage Reputations

But with FFI, Data Breach Coverage is your financial safety net against claims like these:

  • A non-suspecting phishing email steals all of your client data → Your clients sue you for breach of privacy
  • A hacker hijacks your customers’ payment info when you’re on public Wi-Fi → Your customers expect you to pay for their credit monitoring services
  • Your social media account is hacked and publishes fraudulent posts → your customers file a lawsuit and leave negative reviews

Data Breach Coverage Explained

Data Breach Coverage is your financial shield against cyberattacks, such as phishing, ransomware, and other viruses that commit data theft. This insurance covers:

  • Legal defense costs
  • Data recovery and restoration fees
  • Client notification expenses
  • Settlement costs

Data Breach Coverage is not a legal requirement, but it financially covers your photography and videography business if cybercriminals steal your customers’ financial data, photos, or videos.

Without this insurance, you’d have to pay for attorney, court, and data restoration fees out of pocket.

You need Data Breach Coverage if your photography or videography business:

  • Book sessions or events online
  • Accept money through online payment apps

FFI provides coverage to these types of photographers and videographers:

Videography

Data Breach Coverage only costs $6 a month — about the price of a new lens cleaning kit — or $75 per year as an add-on for FFI’s Annual and Annual+ policies.

Data Breach (Cyber Liability)
(Optional With Annual Plans Only)

Data breach insurance can cover the cost of claims that arise from a cybersecurity breach. If you collect or store client info or photos online, take payments over the internet, or send sensitive data over email, we highly recommend adding this coverage to your policy.

Failure to Deliver (Professional Liability)
(Optional With Annual Plans Only)

Failure to Deliver, aka professional liability or errors and omissions (E&O), can cover the cost of claims that arise from mistakes, like if your memory card fails and your client’s photos are lost, an unexpected illness prevents you from being able to shoot an event, or you inadvertently give poor or incomplete advice as part of a demo.

Additional Insureds

When you add a person, event, or organization to your policy as an additional insured, they receive protection if they are named in a suit due to a covered business-related loss/claim because of your actions or operations.

Additional insured status cannot be granted to a friend or co-worker as an extension of your policy. Each individual must purchase their own policy to obtain liability coverage.

A written contract, such as a venue, studio rental, or employment contract is required to add another party as additional insured.

General Liability

General liability insurance can cover the cost of third-party bodily injury and property damage claims, like if a client trips on your business equipment and injures themselves, or you accidentally damage furnishings or flooring at a venue. It also protects against the cost of copyright infringement claims, personal and advertising injury claims, and more.

Damage To Rented Premises

This coverage can protect your business from the cost of claims arising from damages done to rented spaces, like a studio or event booth. It’s common for property owners and event organizers to require businesses to list them as additional insureds on a policy before renting a space. Full Frame provides unlimited additional insureds for just $30.

Camera Equipment (Inland Marine)
(Optional With Annual Plans Only)

Also known as inland marine, camera equipment insurance can cover the cost of repairing or replacing damaged or stolen business equipment (camera bodies, lenses, lighting equipment, and more). Our policy can protect against claims that occur at home, on a job, and anywhere in between. Full Frame offers multiple coverage options for equipment insurance based on your business needs.
