Any successor handling covered personal information would remain subject to applicable privacy obligations.

20. SALE OR SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Cinematic Luxe Media does not intend to sell personal information for money as part of its ordinary business model.

However, some privacy laws define "sale" or "sharing" more broadly than an exchange of information for money.

For example, certain advertising or tracking technologies may potentially constitute "selling," "sharing," or targeted-advertising processing under applicable law.

Where Cinematic Luxe Media engages in activity that creates an applicable legal opt-out right, we will provide the required method to exercise that right.

Where required, users may have the ability to opt out of:

• Sale of personal information

• Sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising

• Targeted advertising

• Certain profiling

Cinematic Luxe Media will also honor legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals where applicable.

21. GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL

Where required by applicable law and technically applicable to our services, Cinematic Luxe Media will recognize qualifying Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signals as requests to opt out of covered sale or sharing activities.

A GPC signal may apply to the browser or device from which it is sent.

Users may still need to submit a separate privacy request for rights not communicated through GPC.

22. SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

Cinematic Luxe Media does not seek to collect sensitive personal information unless it is reasonably necessary for a legitimate service, legal requirement, transaction, security purpose, promotion, or other disclosed purpose.

Depending on applicable law, sensitive information may include certain:

• Precise geolocation

• Racial or ethnic information

• Religious information

• Health information

• Biometric information

Users should avoid voluntarily posting sensitive information in community or public-facing areas.

Where applicable law grants a right to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, Cinematic Luxe Media will honor qualifying requests.

23. WE DO NOT EXCHANGE PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS

Cinematic Luxe membership discounts, badges, access, games, raffles, entertainment, and other benefits are provided as membership benefits.

They are not intended as payment to consumers in exchange for permission to sell their personal information.

If Cinematic Luxe Media ever introduces a program legally considered a financial incentive tied to personal information, any additional disclosure and consent required by applicable law will be provided.

24. PERSONALIZED CONTENT

Cinematic Luxe Media may use activity information to personalize or improve the entertainment experience.

Examples may include:

Where applicable law grants rights relating to certain automated decision-making or profiling, users may exercise those rights as provided below.

Cinematic Luxe Media does not intend to use automated systems to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning users without complying with applicable law.

25. DATA RETENTION

Cinematic Luxe Media retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as otherwise required or permitted by law.

Retention considerations may include:

Account Information

Generally maintained while an account remains active and for a reasonable period afterward when needed for security, dispute resolution, recordkeeping, or legal compliance.

Membership Records

Maintained as reasonably necessary to administer subscriptions, resolve billing issues, prevent fraud, maintain transaction histories, and comply with accounting or legal requirements.

Transaction Records

May be retained as necessary for tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, chargeback, and other legal or business-record requirements.

Festival Submissions

May be retained as needed for festival administration, award records, rights documentation, disputes, historical festival records, and legal purposes.

This does not give Cinematic Luxe permanent screening rights to a submitted film.

Luxe Dispatch

Marketing subscription information may be retained until you unsubscribe. Limited suppression information may be maintained after unsubscribing so that your preference can continue to be honored.

Community Content

Content may remain available until deleted, removed, moderated, or the applicable service is discontinued, subject to backups, legal obligations, and legitimate recordkeeping requirements.

Voting & Security Records

May be retained for a reasonable period to investigate fraud, preserve festival integrity, handle disputes, and improve security.

Contest & Raffle Information

May be retained as required for administration, prize fulfillment, tax obligations, eligibility verification, and compliance with applicable laws.

Technical Logs

May be retained for reasonable periods necessary for cybersecurity, fraud prevention, analytics, troubleshooting, and service operation.

Information may be retained longer where required by law, litigation hold, court order, active dispute, investigation, security need, or legal claim.

26. DATA SECURITY

Cinematic Luxe Media takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against:

• Unauthorized access

• Unauthorized disclosure

• Loss

• Misuse

• Alteration

• Destruction

• Fraud

Measures may include access controls, account authentication, secure service providers, monitoring, backups, encryption or protected transmission where appropriate, and other security practices appropriate to the nature of the information.

Users are responsible for protecting their account credentials and should promptly notify Cinematic Luxe Media if they believe their account has been compromised.

36. CHILDREN & TEEN USERS

Cinematic Luxe Media recognizes that certain films, festival categories, games, entertainment properties, or events may involve youth creators or audiences.

However, Cinematic Luxe Media's general online services are not intended to solicit personal information directly from children under 13 without the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian where required by law.

Cinematic Luxe Media does not knowingly collect personal information online from a child under 13 in a manner inconsistent with applicable children's privacy law.

If participation by a child under 13 is permitted for a particular Cinematic Luxe program, additional parental notice, consent, or verification procedures may be required before personal information is collected.

cluxefilmfest.submissions@gmail.com

Cinematic Luxe Media will review the matter and take appropriate action, including deletion where required.

• Submission platforms

• Social media

• Payment providers

• Video platforms

A link from Cinematic Luxe does not make Cinematic Luxe responsible for the privacy practices of the third-party service.

40. EMBEDDED CONTENT

Third-party videos, audio players, social-media posts, or other embedded content may allow the applicable provider to receive information concerning a user's interaction with that content.

Such collection is controlled by the applicable third party and is subject to that provider's privacy practices.

Where legally required, non-essential embedded technologies may be restricted until appropriate cookie or privacy choices are made.

41. DO NOT TRACK

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting.

Because there is not one universally applied standard governing all Do Not Track signals, our response may depend on the technologies and legal requirements applicable to the service.

This is separate from legally recognized opt-out preference mechanisms such as Global Privacy Control where applicable.

42. SOCIAL MEDIA

If you interact with Cinematic Luxe Media through social-media platforms, both Cinematic Luxe and the applicable social-media provider may receive information relating to that interaction.

Information collected directly by the social-media provider is governed by that provider's privacy practices.

43. CREATOR & FILMMAKER OWNERSHIP

Submitting films, stories, artwork, creator information, trailers, promotional material, or other content to Cinematic Luxe Media does not automatically transfer ownership of that intellectual property to Cinematic Luxe Media.

Any licenses or permissions granted to Cinematic Luxe Media are governed by the applicable submission, promotional, publishing, licensing, or service agreement.

This Privacy Policy governs personal information and does not independently change intellectual-property ownership.
