What we collect

When you sign up for updates: your email address, the language of the page, the date and time of sign-up and your browser type. To protect the form from abuse we also keep, for no more than 24 hours, an encrypted, unreadable version of your IP address. When you browse, our hosting provider logs technical request data.

Why, and on what legal basis

We use your email only to send you emails about the festival, including promotions: film submissions opening, jury, guest and award announcements, programme, tickets and events. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you give by ticking the box when you sign up and can withdraw at any time. We record the date and time when you confirmed reading this policy and gave your consent. Technical browsing data is processed for our legitimate interest in running and protecting the site (Art. 6(1)(f)).

We don't sell or share your email with third parties, and we don't use it for marketing unrelated to the festival.

How long

We keep your email while you are subscribed, and in any case for no more than 24 months after the last message we sent you. If you withdraw your consent, we delete it.

Who processes data on our behalf

Black Fox Video S.r.l. staff who run the festival, and these technical providers, appointed as data processors:

• Vercel Inc. (website hosting). Vercel is based in the United States: the transfer is covered by the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
• OVH SAS (email), based in France, with servers in the European Union.
• Neon (database), with data stored in the European Union, in Frankfurt.

Your rights

You can ask at any time to access, correct or delete your data, restrict its use, receive it in a readable format or object to its processing (Arts. 15–22 GDPR).
