Privacy Policy
Insight Film Festival is committed to safeguarding the privacy of website visitors; this policy sets out how personal information will be treated.
(1) What information do we collect?
Insight Festival may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal information:
(a) Information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website (including your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation.)
(b) Information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us (including age, contact details, nationality and other relevant materials.)
(c) Information regarding the film you wish to submit to the festival and all related articles to do with the Production.
(d) Information that you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to our newsletters, including email address.
(2) Cookies
(a) A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and information stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.
(b) Insight Festival may use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies on the website. Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date.
(c) Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites.
(3) Using your personal information
Personal information submitted to Insight festival via the website will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website.
Insight Festival may use your personal information to:
(a) Administer your film submission or subscription to our newsletter.
(b) Generate statistics regarding festival entrants [for example the average age of festival entrants.]
(c) Send you general communications regarding Insight Film Festival.
(d) Send you email notifications which you have requested or agreed to.
(e) Provide third parties with statistical information about our entrants. This information will not be used to identify any individual user; third parties will be partners or funders who wish to glean data about the Insight Film Festival which they support.
(f) Deal with enquiries made by you relating to the website and the festival events.
(g) Publish the titles of films winning awards as part of the Insight Film Festival and the given names of those submitting the films.
Where you submit personal information for publication on the website, Insight Festival will publish and otherwise use that information in accordance with the license you grant to us.
(4) Disclosures
Insight Festival may disclose information about you to any of our employees, officers, agents or partners insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes as set out in this privacy policy.
In addition, Insight Festival may disclose your personal information:
(a) To the extent that we are required to do so by law.
(b) In connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings.
(c) In order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.
Except as provided in this privacy policy, Insight Festival will not provide your information to third parties.
(5) International data transfers
Information that Insight Festival collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which we share partnerships where it is necessary and in accordance with this privacy policy.
Certain personal information that you submit for publication on the website [such as name or nationality] may be published on the internet [in the case of winning an award, for example] and may be available, via the internet, around the world. Insight Festival cannot prevent the use or misuse of such information by others.
By agreeing to our Privacy Policy you expressly agree to such transfers of personal information.
(6) Security of your personal information
Insight Festival will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information. Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and Insight Festival cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
(7) Policy amendments
Insight Festival may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on our website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes.
(8) Your rights
You may instruct us to provide you with any personal information we hold about you. Provision of such information will be subject to the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity. We may withhold such personal information to the extent permitted by law.
You may instruct us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes by email at any time. In practice, you will usually either expressly agree in advance to our use of your personal information for marketing purposes, or we will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of the use of your personal information for marketing purposes.
(9) Third party websites
The website contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of third party websites.
(10) Updating information
Please let us know if the personal information which we hold about you needs to be corrected or updated.
