Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us
Indie Film Market is a platform built for independent filmmakers, studios, and distributors. We understand that your work—and the information around it—is valuable. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
We've written this in plain language because we believe you shouldn't need a lawyer to understand how your information is handled.
Last updated: January 2026
Information we collect
We collect information that you provide directly and information generated through your use of the platform.
Account information
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password. If you subscribe to a paid plan, we collect billing information through our payment processor.
Film and project data
This includes everything you add to your projects: titles, synopses, credits, technical specifications, screener links, press materials, and any other information you choose to include.
Screener and lead information
When you share screener links, we track views and engagement to provide you with analytics. When someone expresses interest in your film through our platform, we capture their contact information and inquiry details.
Usage data
We collect information about how you use the platform, including pages visited, features used, and general usage patterns. This helps us improve the product and identify issues.
Contact form submissions
If you contact us through our website, we collect the information you provide in your message.
How we use your information
We use your information for the following purposes:
- To provide the service: Managing your projects, tracking submissions, generating screener links, and facilitating communication with interested parties.
- To communicate with you: Sending account notifications, responding to inquiries, and providing customer support.
- To improve the product: Understanding how features are used, identifying problems, and developing new functionality.
- To maintain security: Detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access.
We do not sell your data
Your personal information and film data are not sold to third parties. Your work and business relationships are yours—we're here to help you manage them, not monetize them.
When we share information
We share your information only in limited circumstances:
Service providers
We work with trusted third parties who help us operate the platform. This includes hosting providers, payment processors, analytics services, and email delivery services. These providers only access the information necessary to perform their services and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
At your direction
When you make a film page public or share a screener link, you're choosing to make certain information accessible to others. You control what's visible through our privacy settings.
Legal requirements
We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
Business transfers
If Indie Film Market is acquired or merges with another company, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We would notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Your control over your data
You have meaningful control over your information:
- Access and update: You can access and update your account information and project data at any time through your dashboard.
- Visibility controls: You decide what information is public on your film pages and what remains private.
- Screener management: You can revoke screener links, set expiration dates, and control access at any time.
- Data export: You can request a copy of your data in a standard format.
- Account deletion: You can delete your account at any time. When you do, we remove your personal information and project data from our active systems, though some information may be retained in backups or as required for legal compliance.
To exercise any of these rights or if you have questions, contact us at the address below.
Data security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. This includes:
- Encryption of data in transit and at rest
- Secure authentication practices
- Regular security reviews of our systems
- Limited access to personal data among our team
No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. However, we are committed to protecting your information and will notify you if we become aware of a security breach that may affect your data.
Children's privacy
Indie Film Market is designed for professional use and is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information as soon as possible. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through the platform or by email.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
