Privacy Policy

We may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, account details, profile information, and any content you submit to the platform.

This may include film metadata, uploaded assets, video links, posters, thumbnails, and related submission materials.

We may also collect limited technical information such as device/browser details, IP-related information, and usage data to help maintain platform performance and security.

We use your information to operate, maintain, and improve ShortStage.

This includes managing accounts, reviewing film submissions, communicating submission outcomes, providing support, and maintaining platform security.

We may also use information to analyse usage patterns and improve the quality, performance, and experience of the platform.

Any materials you submit to ShortStage may be stored and processed for review, curation, moderation, and platform operations.

If a submission is denied or removed, associated assets may be deleted at our discretion.

You are responsible for ensuring that all submitted materials are lawful, accurate, and that you have the rights necessary to provide them.

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with trusted service providers or infrastructure partners where necessary to operate the platform, such as hosting, storage, analytics, authentication, or email delivery services.

We may also disclose information where required by law, to enforce our policies, or to protect the rights, safety, or integrity of ShortStage and its users.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the platform, fulfil legitimate business purposes, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or comply with legal obligations.

We may delete or anonymise information when it is no longer required.

You may request updates or corrections to your account information where applicable.

You may also request account deletion or enquire about your data by contacting us directly.

Please note that certain information may be retained where required for legal, operational, or security reasons.

We take reasonable steps to protect information stored on the platform, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for activity associated with your account.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Continued use of ShortStage after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
