The Other Venice Film Festival is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. As part of our operations, we gather certain types of information about our users through our Web site.

Here's the long and short of it. We only gather personal information if you provide it. We do not share your personal information with any third parties. We do gather anonymous aggregate data to improve the quality and performance of our website. We don't use cookies - we're not that technically smart. We're filmmakers.

No information should be submitted to or posted on our Web site by users under the age of 13. Individuals under the age of 13 are not allowed to become registered users of our Web sites or participate in any sweepstakes or contests. Parents should join their kids on the web to make sure they are seeing appropriate content. Really, kids should be playing outside or becoming young filmmakers.

We reserve the right to cooperate with government and law enforcement agencies engaged in investigations of activities that are, or which we believe may be, illegal. We have a very broad definition of 'legal'. This is Venice, after all.

We may offer free, electronic announcement(s). You will only receive a newsletter if you agree to receive from our newsletter sign-up form. We will not divulge your membership in a newsletter mailing list to any third parties, including advertisers or partners.

When you visit our site, you may be directed to other sites outside our service. These sites may not follow the same privacy policies that we do. Shame on them.

We may amend this policy from time to time. Check back should you care.
