At FilmTiki, we value our customers' privacy as we do our own. This privacy policy was developed to assure you that the information you provide to us is respected and protected.

Your personal information

Personal information collected by FilmTiki is stored and maintained in secure operating environments that are not available to the public. Other than the uses specified below, we do not share personal information with any third parties unless we believe that such action is only necessary to conform to legal requirements, to protect the rights of FilmTiki, or to enforce the FilmTiki Terms and Conditions.

FilmTiki records non-personally-identifiable information including IP address, aggregate user data, and browser type, from users and visitors to the site. This data is used to manage the website, track usage and improve website services. This non-personally-identifiable information may be shared with third-parties to provide more relevant services and advertisements to members. User IP addresses are recorded for security and monitoring purposes.

If your computer is available to others, you should remember to always log out and close your browser window when you have finished your work to ensure that others cannot access your personal information.

We recognize our responsibility to protect the privacy of your personal information. If you have questions or comments about the administration of your personal information, please contact us at info@filmtiki.com. You may also use this address to communicate any concerns you may have regarding compliance with our Privacy Policy.

 

Advertisements

Please be aware that our FilmTiki may contain links to the websites of our advertisers. If you click on these links you are leaving our website. While we do not share any personal information about you when you click on these links, once you leave the FilmTiki environment for a partner's site, you will fall under the privacy policy of the partner site rather than our own.

 

FilmTiki staff accountability

FilmTiki has technological and operational security procedures in place to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, alteration or unintentional destruction. Our personnel who have access to the data understand the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of such information and are bound to maintain and uphold our strict Privacy Policy. We monitor which staff members are logged on and working in the system at any given time.

• Updates to our policies
• Your account in general
• Any other correspondence we determine is constructive to our community or to you as our customer.

 

Offers of additional services

From time to time, we may offer you additional services or opportunities. This may require the transfer of all or some of your information to other areas of our site, associated sites, or other published media. If this is the case, we will contact you in advance and will be open about your privacy and the integrity of your data before we use it in this way.

You will always have the opportunity to opt out of additional services or opportunities, or to close your account with us if you feel we are not acting in your best interests.

Acceptable uses for transferring your data include:

• To fulfill delivery of products and services that you may order from us which may be subcontracted or fulfilled through our third-party associations and partnerships
• To compile and publish current and historical data on existent film properties and film festivals, both individual and in aggregate
• To publicize and promote your film to third parties that in our judgment may present significant benefits or opportunities to filmmakers or film festivals seeking larger audiences, including but not limited to agents, distributors, exhibitors, general consumers and other film festivals.

 

Acquisition

If FilmTiki were acquired, in whole or in part, by a third party, that third party may also determine to contact FilmTiki users for the purposes of offering additional products or information. Of course, you would be notified in advance of any such relationship and its potential effects upon this Policy. In all other cases, your personal information will not be shared with third parties unless you give that third party explicit permission to contact you independent of us.
