Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how NFFTY uses personal information when you register for our e-news, submit a film or otherwise provide us your personal data.

What We Collect
In order to send out NFFTY enews and other specialized email announcements, we request your first and last name and email address. If you submit a resource, crew call, or post a comment on our site, we save the information you provided. If you create a filmmaker profile, we collect, save and make public your information. You must be 13 or older to submit a filmmaker profile or submit any information other than sign up for our eNews. If you're under 13, we ask that you have a parent, guardian or teacher submit on your behalf.

Statistical Data
NFFTY relies on grants and sponsorship support for a portion of the funding for its programs. In order to obtain funding from these sources, we need to be able to provide statistical data for festival attendance, website visitation, and audience demographics to justify support.  We collect this information anonymously from surveys and analytic services, and we do not reference specific users of our website or programs when providing data to entities outside our organization.

Third Party Communication
The NFFTY website has links to other websites and uses third party providers for services, such as online submissions and ticketing. NFFTY is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these websites. Please visit the privacy policies of these third party sites in order to understand their privacy practices. Providing your email address to NFFTY or these third party providers may result in your contact information being shared with sponsors of the festival.

Government Regulation Compliance
It is NFFTY’s policy to comply with all communication regulation guidelines, as per outlined by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the USA’s Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA).

Opting Out
To opt-out of NFFTY emails or other communication, please follow the links at the bottom of your next email.

Kids and Parents
NFFTY.org and any other NFFTY digital platforms and channels are not intended for use by children under age 13. No one under age 13 is allowed to provide any personal information or use our public discussion areas, forums, chats, or film submission pages. Minors between the ages of 13 and 17 must have permission of their parent(s) or legal guardian(s) before making purchases, including film tickets and memberships, on this site or any third party providers.

Parents, you may visit this or any other NFFTY digital platforms with your child and submit information or films on their behalf. If your children disclose information about themselves in our public discussion areas, they may get unsolicited messages from other parties. Accordingly, you should tell them not to do so.

If you’re worried about your children’s activities or their privacy on our sites, we encourage you to e-mail us at info@nffty.org. If you have other concerns or questions about any aspect of this policy, you may contact us below. We welcome your feedback.
