Privacy

When you submit a pitch, we store the information you provide, including your name, email address, location, proposal, access, expected delivery date, portfolio links and any conflict disclosure. We use it to assess and manage that proposal. A submission acknowledgement confirms receipt only; it is not an acceptance or commission.

Credential checks record limited technical information used to prevent automated abuse. A successful check displays only approved professional details. Portraits are kept in private storage and, when permission has been recorded, are shown through short-lived links. Private assignments, documents, editorial notes and account records are available only to authorized users.

We do not set advertising cookies, sell personal information, or operate a newsletter through this site. Essential account and security information may be stored to keep the private editorial area signed in and protected.

Web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to that service when a page loads.

When you write to editorial@filmandstage.press, pitches@filmandstage.press or verify@filmandstage.press, we receive your message and whatever you choose to include in it — typically your name, email address, pitch material and portfolio links.

We use that correspondence to answer you, to assess pitches, and to verify credentials. We do not sell it, and we do not use it for advertising.

Verification enquiries are answered narrowly: we confirm affiliation and the existence of an assignment, and we do not disclose a contributor's personal details or unpublished editorial plans.

To ask what correspondence we hold from you, to have it corrected, or to ask us to delete it, write to editorial@filmandstage.press. Where a legal obligation or an ongoing editorial matter requires us to retain material, we will say so.

We take reasonable care with correspondence sent to the editorial office. No website or email system can be guaranteed secure, and we make no absolute security promise. Please do not send confidential source material or documents by ordinary email without speaking to an editor first.

Access to editorial records is restricted by role. Credential changes are recorded in an audit log, and public verification results are not cached so a revocation takes effect immediately.

Editorial correspondence and records are kept only as long as reasonably needed for the editorial purpose, security, accountability and applicable legal obligations. The owner is finalizing specific retention periods for declined pitches, expired credentials, verification security logs and closed accounts. Until those periods are adopted, deletion requests are reviewed individually.
