The 1 Second Film's Privacy Policy
WE WILL NEVER SELL, RENT, OR TRADE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO A THIRD PARTY.
We want this site to be a place our crew feels at home; we understand that privacy is an important part of creating a comfortable on-line community. If you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns about our privacy policy, feel free to share them in our forum or to contact us directly.
ABOUT OUR PRIVACY POLICY
The1SecondFilm.com ("our Site”) is a collaborative community of individuals (“Crew Members”) who have joined together to create a non-profit film ("The 1 Second Film"). Each Crew Member will receive a Special Thanks credit in our film and may also receive additional film credits. Crew Members can also create a Crew Profile on our Site that displays personal information of his or her choosing. This information is used by our Crew to network with other Members who are collaborating on this film. Each Crew Member agrees to allow The 1 Second Film to use his or her name and likeness to promote our non-profit production.
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
Our Site collects member-submitted information such as name, email, and age to authenticate our Crew Members. This helps create a more secure community. Our Site also collects other optional information including personal interests, gender, age, education and occupation to assist members in finding, communicating, and collaborating with each other.
The Site also logs non-personally-identifiable information including IP address, aggregate user data, and browser type, from members and visitors to the site. This data is used to manage the website, track usage and to provide and improve the website services. This non-personally-identifiable information may be shared with third parties to provide relevant services, attract sponsorship, grant applications, as well as for security purposes.
Crew Member profile information, including members' pictures and credited names, are displayed in order to provide a preview of our film's credits and to facilitate crew member participation in The 1 Second Film's collaborative community. We also may use a member’s email address to send a newsletter or updates regarding our production. Crew Members may choose not to receive these email updates by changing their "newsletter notification" setting to "Do not send me notification emails" in the member's "Account Settings." Members can also choose to set their profile to “private.”
GIFT CREDITS
In good faith, The 1 Second Film allows individuals to make a donation in the name of a friend or loved one. The individual making the donation assumes full responsibility for the credit and agrees to inform the recepient of the gift within 14 days of the registration. Recepients of a gift credit can choose to remove their name from our site at any time; in this case, the donations will be applied anonymously. In the case of gift credits made in memory of a deceased loved one, the credited name should include "In memory of" or "in loving memory of" as part of the screen credit. Individuals can not gift credit someone that they do not personally know; gift credits are reserved to close friends and family. Celebrities and public personalities are excluded from receiving gift credits. Trademarked entities can not be given a film credit unless by an official representative. Please see our Terms of Use for more info.
