Hidden Empire Film Group (“Hidden Empire,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit hiddenempire.tv, including the Hidden Empire Sports Collective pages (the “Site”), how we use and share it, and the choices and rights available to you.
By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Site.
01. Information We Collect
Information you provide to us. When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your name and email address. When you contact us by email, we collect your email address, your name if provided, and any information you choose to include in your message or attachments.
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect limited technical information, such as the pages you view, referring pages, approximate location derived from your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, and page performance measurements. Our hosting infrastructure also records server logs, including IP addresses, user-agent strings, and request timestamps, which we use to operate and secure the Site.
Information from third parties. If you interact with our content on third-party platforms, such as YouTube, Instagram, Threads, or LinkedIn, those platforms may share information with us in accordance with their own policies and your settings.
02. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Send you our newsletter and updates about Hidden Empire films, projects, events, and initiatives you asked to hear about;
- Respond to your enquiries, requests, and other communications;
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site, including understanding how visitors use it and how quickly pages load;
- Protect the Site, our users, and Hidden Empire, including detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and other security incidents;
- Comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, and enforceable governmental requests; and
- Carry out any other purpose disclosed to you at the time we collect the information, or with your consent.
05. Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Newsletter information is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Correspondence is kept for as long as needed to respond and maintain appropriate business records. Security and server logs are kept for limited periods unless a longer period is needed to investigate an incident or meet a legal obligation.
06. Your Choices and Rights
Email communications. You may unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails, where available, or by contacting us at info@hiddenempirefilmgroup.com.
Access, correction, and deletion. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of your personal information; to object to or restrict certain processing; and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
California residents. California law gives residents the right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose; to request deletion and correction; and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. As described above, we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.
Visitors from the EEA, UK, and Switzerland. We process personal information on the basis of your consent (for example, newsletter sign-ups), our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Site, and compliance with legal obligations. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To make a request, email info@hiddenempirefilmgroup.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.
07. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and restricted access to administrative systems. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
08. International Data Transfers
Hidden Empire is based in the United States, and our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those where you live. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
09. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
10. Third-Party Websites
The Site links to websites and services we do not control, including IMDb, YouTube, social media platforms, and publications that cover our work. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those services, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where required by law, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Site after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
