This Privacy Notice applies where we are acting as a data controller with respect to your personal data—in other words, where we determine the purposes and means of processing that data. In this notice, 'we,' 'us,' and 'our' refer to Filmporte Filmtech Solutions Ltd.

We use cookies on our website. Where these aren't strictly necessary, we'll ask for your consent when you first visit.

During onboarding (know-your-customer), we verify your account data using our systems or third-party verification firms. We also collect contact data (name, email, phone, address), communication data (message metadata), and usage data (IP, location, browser info, site behavior).

We prioritize data protection with robust technical and organizational measures including advanced DRM systems, encryption, firewalls, and strict access controls.

Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only, and our employees are contractually bound to maintain confidentiality.

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill its purpose, including meeting legal and regulatory obligations. The specific retention period depends on the data type and processing purpose.

Some data may be retained longer where required by law or necessary to protect vital interests.
