# Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Sequel (“**Sequel**,” “**we**,” “**our**,” or “**us**”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use [**https://sequel.movie**](https://sequel.movie) and any related subdomains (including but not limited to `app.sequel.movie`) (collectively, the “**Site**”). Your use of the Site is also subject to our \[Terms & Conditions].

If you have questions, contact us at **<hello@sequel.movie>**.

### 1) What we collect

We collect the information you choose to provide and some information automatically:

* **Wallet address** when you connect a wallet (verification-only to prove $MOVIE token holdings).
* **Submission info** you provide (e.g., film ideas, scripts, pitch materials, links).
* **Contact info** (e.g., name, email).

**We do not collect sensitive categories of data** (e.g., health, biometric, precise geolocation).

> Wallet note: When you connect a wallet, we may check on-chain, publicly available data tied to your wallet address to confirm holdings. We do **not** initiate transactions.

### 2) How we use information

We use your information to:

* **Verify eligibility** (confirm $MOVIE holdings for submission access).
* **Operate and improve** the Site and its features.
* **Review and manage submissions** (including internal review by Sequel staff and advisors).
* **Communicate with you** (updates, submission status, service notices).
* **Protect the service** (fraud prevention, security, and legal compliance).

### 3) What we don’t do

* We **don’t** use wallet connect for any transactions.
* We **don’t** sell your personal information.
* We **don’t** “share” your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising (as defined by the CPRA).

### 4) When we share information

We share information only with:

* **Service providers** (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery, form/storage tools) who process data for us under contract and may not use it for their own purposes.
* **Legal and safety** (if required by law, to respond to lawful requests, or to protect rights, safety, and security).
* **Business transfers** (if we undergo a merger, acquisition, or similar event).

### 5) Cookies & analytics

We may use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand aggregate usage. You can adjust cookie settings in your browser. If we use third-party analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), they act as our service providers.

### 6) Retention

* **Account/communications data**: kept while you use the Site and for up to **24 months** after your last interaction, unless we need it longer for legal, security, or compliance reasons.
* **Submission materials**: kept for the duration of evaluation and project development cycles and longer if reasonably needed for recordkeeping, legal purposes, or project tracking.

### 7) Your choices & rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to **access, correct, delete, or receive a copy** of your personal information, and to **opt out** of certain uses.\
To exercise rights or make a request, email **<hello@sequel.movie>**. We’ll verify your request and respond as required by applicable law. You can opt out of marketing emails anytime via the unsubscribe link.

**EU/UK users (GDPR legal bases):** We process data when necessary to provide the service (contract), with your consent (where applicable), and for our **legitimate interests** (e.g., platform security and improvement) provided they’re not overridden by your rights.

### 8) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

### 9) Children

The Site is for **18+** only. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.

### 10) International transfers

We may process and store information in the **United States** and other locations where we or our service providers operate. Where required, we use legally recognized safeguards for transfers.

### 11) Submissions & confidentiality

Do not include confidential or sensitive personal data in your submissions. Submission materials may be reviewed internally and by trusted advisors and service providers involved in evaluation. Ownership and related terms are governed by our \[Terms & Conditions].

### 12) Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy. The **Effective Date** above tells you when it last changed. Material changes will be posted on the Site.
