Your privacy, respected

We collect only what we need to run the publication: information you provide directly — such as your email when you subscribe or contact a desk — and standard technical data your browser sends automatically, including pages visited and general location. We do not sell personal information.

Information is used to deliver and improve our journalism, respond to enquiries, send communications you have requested, and understand which coverage resonates. Processing is limited to these legitimate editorial and operational purposes.

We use a small number of cookies and privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used and to remember your preferences. You can control cookies through your browser settings; essential cookies are required for the site to function. See our Cookie Policy for the full detail.

We share information only with service providers who help us operate the publication, and only to the extent necessary. These providers are bound to protect your data and may not use it for their own purposes.

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, to meet legal or accounting obligations, or to resolve disputes. When it is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

We are operated from the United States and may process information there and with reputable service providers in other countries. Where we transfer data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to protect it.

Our site is intended for a general, adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent age in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation gives you rights over your data. We process personal data on the legal bases of consent, legitimate interests (running and improving the publication), and compliance with legal obligations. Your rights include:

• Access — obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification — have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected.
• Erasure — request deletion of your data where there is no overriding reason to keep it.
• Restriction & objection — limit or object to certain processing, including direct marketing.
• Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Withdraw consent — withdraw consent at any time where processing relies on it.
• Lodge a complaint — complain to your local data-protection supervisory authority.

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA) gives you specific rights. We do not sell or share your personal information. You have the right to:

• Know — the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
• Delete — request deletion of personal information we hold, subject to legal exceptions.
• Correct — request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Opt out — we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of.
• Non-discrimination — you will never receive lesser service for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise any right under the GDPR or CCPA, contact us using the details below. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframe required by law. You may use an authorised agent where permitted.

The data controller responsible for your information is Film & Stage Media Group. For any question about this policy, or to exercise your rights, contact our administration desk.
