Information provided for sponsorship, underwriting, media-kit, grant, research, or audience-reporting purposes will ordinarily be aggregated, statistical, summarized, or de-identified.
Film Fervor does not provide a sponsor or prospective sponsor with your individual name, email address, private form submission, or personally identifiable audience record solely because that organization sponsors or underwrites Film Fervor.
Sponsorship does not create ownership of the Film Fervor audience database.
9. Sponsors and Editorial Independence

Those relationships may be publicly acknowledged.
Financial support does not, by itself:
Give an organization access to individual Film Fervor audience records
Give an organization ownership of Film Fervor audience data
Give an organization control over Film Fervor’s editorial conclusions
Guarantee favorable editorial treatment
Film Fervor retains editorial control over its journalism, documentaries, interviews, investigations, reporting, commentary, and other authored work.

12. Third-Party Tracking and Collection
Third parties that provide analytics, embedded media, advertising, measurement, social-media, or similar technologies may be capable of collecting information concerning a user’s activity over time and across different websites or online services.
Whether such collection occurs depends on:
The technology being used
Film Fervor’s configuration
The third party’s configuration
Your consent choices
Your browser settings
Your account settings
Applicable law
Third-party services may have their own privacy policies and independent data-processing practices.
13. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers provide a Do Not Track (“DNT”) setting.
Because there is no universally adopted technical standard governing traditional DNT signals, FilmFervor.com may not respond uniformly to traditional DNT signals.
Where applicable law requires Film Fervor to recognize a legally valid opt-out preference signal, including Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), Film Fervor will treat that signal as an applicable request to opt out of activities legally defined as the sale or sharing of personal information for the browser or device transmitting the signal.
14. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
Film Fervor does not operate its audience database as a business selling individual subscriber or visitor records for monetary payment.
Film Fervor does not sell subscriber lists to sponsors merely because those organizations sponsor Film Fervor.
Privacy laws may define terms such as “sale,” “sell,” or “sharing” more broadly than an ordinary monetary transaction.
Certain analytics, advertising, tracking, remarketing, or cross-context behavioral advertising technologies may be legally classified as selling or sharing information depending on how they are configured and used.
Where applicable law provides an opt-out right concerning such activity, Film Fervor will provide or honor that right.
15. Aggregated and De-Identified Information
Film Fervor may create aggregated, statistical, summarized, or de-identified information from information obtained through:
FilmFervor.com
Analytics
Surveys
Forms
CRM systems
Audience research
Newsletter activity
Other Film Fervor activities
Film Fervor may use or disclose such information for:
Audience research
Editorial research
Sponsorship
Underwriting
Media kits
Grant applications
Business planning
Industry research
Reports
Presentations
Journalism
Education
Public discussions
Measurement of Film Fervor’s reach and impact
Where information has been appropriately aggregated or de-identified, it is intended to describe groups, patterns, and trends rather than identifiable individuals.
