2) What data we collect

A) Data you provide directly

  • Ticket purchases / bookings: name, email address, booking details (e.g., screening selected, ticket type/quantity), and any information you enter during checkout. We use your email to send your ticket(s) and booking confirmation.

  • Messages and enquiries: when you contact us (e.g., about screenings, private/corporate events, or rentals), we collect your name, email, phone number (if provided), message content, and any attachments you send.

  • Rental enquiries: if you enquire about renting equipment, we may collect details needed to respond and provide a quote (e.g., dates, location, requirements).

B) Data collected automatically

When you browse the Site, we may automatically collect:

  • Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, approximate location (derived from IP), referrer URL, and timestamps.

  • Server logs: technical log data created by the server to keep the Site secure and working properly.

  • Cookie/consent data: see Sections 6 and 7.

C) Data from third parties

  • Payment providers: if you purchase tickets, your payment is processed by a third-party provider. We typically receive confirmation (e.g., payment status and transaction reference). We do not receive your full card number.

  • Social media platforms: if you click social links or interact with embedded content, those third parties may collect data under their own policies.

3) How we use your data

We use personal data to:

  • Provide and manage bookings (including sending digital tickets/QR codes and confirmations).

  • Process transactions and help prevent fraud.

  • Respond to enquiries and provide customer support (including rentals and event enquiries).

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site, including troubleshooting and performance monitoring.

  • Send important service communications (e.g., changes, cancellations, or essential event information).

  • Comply with legal obligations (e.g., accounting and tax requirements).

4) Legal bases for processing

Where applicable (including under GDPR/UK GDPR principles), we process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Contract: to process your booking/rental and deliver what you request.

  • Legitimate interests: to run and secure the Site, improve services, and respond to enquiries (balanced against your rights).

  • Consent: for optional cookies and certain marketing (where required).

  • Legal obligation: for compliance and record-keeping.

5) Third-party services we use

A) Hosting provider: ALL-INKL.COM (All Inkl)

Our Site is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM (All Inkl) with servers located in Germany. When you visit the Site, your data may be processed on these servers (e.g., to deliver site content, store site files, and create security/server logs).

B) Burst Statistics (website analytics)

We use Burst Statistics to understand how visitors use our Site (e.g., pageviews, referrers, top pages). Analytics data is stored on our own server within our hosting environment, unless we explicitly choose to share it.

C) CookieYes (cookie consent management)

We use CookieYes to display a cookie banner, manage cookie preferences, and (where enabled) record consent choices so we can respect them (e.g., blocking non-essential cookies until consent).

D) Ally by Elementor (accessibility)

We use Ally by Elementor to help improve our Site’s accessibility. This may involve loading scripts or features that enable accessibility functions and help ensure those functions work correctly.

E) Google Fonts (loaded locally)

We use Google Fonts for typography on the Site. The font files are hosted locally on our own server and delivered from our hosting environment. This means no connection to Google’s servers is required solely to load fonts.

6) Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use cookies (and similar technologies) to:

  • keep the Site working (essential cookies),

  • remember preferences (functional cookies),

  • measure performance/usage (analytics cookies),

  • enable third-party features (where used).

7) Your cookie choices

We provide a cookie banner and preference controls via CookieYes. You can:

  • accept or reject non-essential cookies via the banner,

  • change your preferences anytime via the cookie settings (where available on the Site),

  • also control cookies using your browser settings.

If you disable some cookies, parts of the Site may not function properly.

8) How we share your data

We may share personal data with:

  • Service providers (processors) that help us operate the Site and deliver services, including:

    • ALL-INKL.COM (All Inkl) (hosting in Germany),

    • Burst Statistics (analytics stored on our server),

    • CookieYes (cookie consent management and consent logs, if enabled),

    • Ally by Elementor (accessibility features),

    • and other tools required for ticketing/booking, email delivery, and customer support (if used).

  • Payment processors to complete transactions (payment details are handled by them).

  • Authorities/advisors when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.

  • Business transfers if the business is reorganized, merged, or sold (with appropriate protections).

We do not sell your personal data.

9) International data transfers

Our hosting is in Germany (EEA). Based on our current setup, the services listed in this policy are intended to operate primarily within the EEA. If we ever use a provider or feature that involves processing personal data outside the EEA, we will update this policy and, where required, apply appropriate safeguards.

10) Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described:

  • Bookings/transactions: retained as needed for customer service and legal/accounting obligations.

  • Enquiries: retained for a reasonable period to handle your request and follow up.

  • Consent logs (CookieYes): retained as needed to demonstrate and maintain your consent choices.

  • Server logs (hosting): retained for security and troubleshooting, typically for a limited period.

  • Logs/analytics: retained for security and performance analysis, typically for a limited period.

Retention periods may vary depending on legal requirements and operational needs.

11) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12) Marketing communications

If we send marketing communications (e.g., updates about upcoming screenings/events), we will do so:

  • with your consent where required, or

  • where otherwise permitted by applicable law (e.g., existing customer relationship),

and you can opt out at any time by using an unsubscribe option (if provided) or by emailing info@projectfilms101.com.

13) Your rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:

  • access your data,

  • correct inaccurate data,

  • delete data,

  • restrict or object to processing,

  • receive a portable copy of your data,

  • withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent),

  • lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.

To exercise your rights, contact info@projectfilms101.com.

14) Children’s privacy

The Site is not intended for collecting personal data from children without appropriate consent. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

15) Third-party links

The Site may include links to third-party sites or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies; we are not responsible for third-party practices.
