Introduction

Screenixx (“Screenixx,” “we,” “us” or “our”) operates a streaming platform that allows independent filmmakers to showcase their work and viewers to experience them on demand. This Privacy Policy explains the types of personal information we collect from visitors and subscribers on screenixx.com and related services (collectively, the “Services”), how we use and share that information, and the rights you have over your data. It is designed to meet the requirements of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), and similar U.S. state privacy laws, as well as to reflect emerging best practices for 2025. It does not apply to separate initiatives such as the Screenixx First Frames 100 program; those initiatives have their own privacy notices.

We value transparency. This document tells you what data we collect and why, how long we keep it, how you can control your information, and what we’re doing to protect it. If you have questions, we encourage you to contact our Privacy Team using the details below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the categories of information necessary to provide our Services. The types of data collected depend on how you interact with Screenixx. We describe those categories below:

• Identifiers and Contact Information: Such as your name, username, email address, mailing address, phone number and unique identifiers (account IDs, cookies, IP addresses). Collecting only relevant data categories, rather than listing every possible data type, helps avoid overwhelming users.
• Payment and Commercial Information: Subscription details, billing address and payment card information (handled securely by a payment processor), transaction history, purchase preferences, and subscription tiers.
• Account and Content Data: Account credentials, watchlists, ratings, favorites, playlists, comments, messages sent through the platform, user-generated content, and communications with customer support.
• Usage Data and Technical Information: Device identifiers, operating system, browser type, language settings, referring pages, clickstream data, pages viewed, search queries, time spent, and interactions with ads. We also collect IP-based approximate location and may derive coarse geolocation to comply with region-specific content licensing and legal obligations.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, pixels and similar technologies to remember your preferences, provide security features, measure performance, personalize 2 content and ads, and improve the user experience. See the “Cookies and Similar Technologies” section for details.
• Inference and Analytics Data: We may generate inferences from usage and preference data tohelp us understand viewing patterns, make recommendations, and improve user experience. We are transparent about AI involvement as recommended in modern privacy guidance.
• Sensitive Data (Limited Cases): We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information such as race/ethnicity, religious beliefs, health information, gender identity, sexual orientation or biometric identifiers. If we must process sensitive data to comply with legal requirements (e.g., identity checks to prevent fraud or to confirm content age ratings), we will do so only with your explicit consent and will limit use to the permitted purpose. We will never sell sensitive personal information for targeted advertising.

We may also receive information about you from other sources, such as social media sign-in services (if you choose to use them), content partners, marketing partners and affiliates. We use this data only in accordance with this Policy.

2. How We Collect Information

Screenixx collects information in three main ways:

1. Directly from you. You provide information when you register for an account, update your profile, subscribe to a plan, submit content, communicate with us, participate in surveys or promotions, or request customer support. You always know what information you provide, and you can choose not to submit certain data.
2. Automatically through our Services. We use cookies and similar technologies to collect usage data and technical information when you visit or interact with our website, open our emails or view our ads. We also log server information such as IP addresses and device identifiers.
3. From third parties. We may obtain information from payment processors, analytics providers, advertisers, social media networks (when you link an account), and content rights holders. We may combine this information with data we collect directly for purposes explained in this Policy.

These providers may only process personal information in accordance with our instructions and are contractually obligated to protect it.

6. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information (CPRA/US State Laws)

Screenixx does not sell personal information in exchange for monetary consideration. Some U.S. state laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly to include certain transfers for targeted advertising or analytics. In compliance with the CCPA/CPRA and other state privacy laws, we:

• Disclose the categories of personal information collected, the sources of such information, the purposes for collection and use, and the categories of third parties with whom information is shared.
• Provide a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link to allow residents to opt out of sales or sharing for targeted advertising. You may also configure your browser to send a Global Privacy Control signal; we will honor this request.
• Offer the right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information to purposes “reasonably necessary and proportionate” to deliver services. We do not use sensitive data for targeted ads.

These include encryption in transit and at rest, secure coding practices, access controls, multi‑factor authentication, regular security audits, intrusion detection, vulnerability scanning, employee training and incident response planning. Our privacy policy presents these measures in plain language to ensure understanding. Despite our efforts, no method of transmission or storage is 100 % secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal data should contact us to request deletion. For teenagers aged 13–15, we may require opt‑in consent for targeted advertising and certain profiling, in line with emerging state privacy laws.
