Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 3, 2026
We Are The Movies ("we") is the controller of personal information collected at wearethemovies.com. Contact hello@wearethemovies.com.
What we collect
- Email address: when you request the checklist or our emails. We use it to deliver the requested Filmmaking Gear Starter Checklist; follow-up emails are optional in the EEA, UK and Switzerland. You can unsubscribe any time via the link in every email.
- Contact form messages: if you write to us, we receive the name, email address and message you enter, and use them to handle your enquiry. Our hosting provider processes the form and its spam checks. We keep a short-lived record of the sending IP address to block spam.
- Our hosting provider processes outbound offer, referring-page and country details during the click request to measure referrals.
- Analytics: usage data (Google Analytics uses cookie identifiers) (pages visited, device type, page load speed) from our cookieless analytics provider, which sets no cookies, and Google Analytics, which does. We use it to understand what content helps people. It loads only after consent where consent is required (the UK and European Economic Area), and never when we detect a Global Privacy Control signal. Our hosting provider also counts page views, the referring site, campaign tags, time on page, country, device and browser type through our own cookieless measurement. It uses a daily-changing code derived from your IP address and browser, which it does not store, and keeps the counts for about three months.
Email data and retention
We process file requests to provide the requested resource and follow-up emails with your consent. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland, we send follow-up emails only if you select the optional email choice. We record the displayed wording, version, page, time, country and choice before enrollment; these records expire after two years. Subscription records remain until you unsubscribe or request deletion; an email delivery provider may retain a suppression record to honor your choice.
You can complain to your local data protection authority, including the Information Commissioner's Office in the UK.
What we don't do
We don't sell your personal information. We don't share your email with third parties for their marketing.
