Privacy Policy

Who we are

Magistry is a creative services company specializing in treatment development support for directors, production companies, agencies and studios. In this policy, "Magistry", "we", "us" and "our" refer to us, and "you" refers to anyone who visits this website.

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your information, email us at hello@magistry.co.

Information we collect

When you contact us

When you send us a message through the contact form, we collect:

• your full name
• your email address
• your phone number, if you choose to give it
• the subject and content of your message
• the date and time you sent it

If you email us directly, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your email.

Analytics, only if you agree

If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics to understand how the website is used. Google Analytics collects information such as the pages you visit, how long you stay, the website that referred you, your browser and device type, and your approximate location (derived from your IP address). We don't use it to identify you personally. If you reject analytics cookies, or haven't made a choice, Google Analytics isn't loaded at all.

Password-protected pages

Some pages, such as our Creatives and Writers rosters, are protected by a password. When you enter the correct password, we store a small cookie in your browser so you don't have to enter it again for 24 hours. This cookie contains no personal information.

How we use your information

• To respond to you. We use the details you send through the contact form or by email to reply to your enquiry, discuss a project or booking with you, and keep a record of our correspondence.
• To understand how the website is used, if you have agreed to analytics cookies, so we can improve it.
• To run and protect the website, including keeping password-protected pages available only to people we have given access to.

If you are in the UK or the European Economic Area, we rely on our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and running our business, or on taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, to handle your contact details. We rely on your consent for analytics cookies, and you can withdraw it at any time.

Cookies and similar technologies

• Access cookie (page_access): strictly necessary. Set only after you enter the password for a protected page, and expires after 24 hours.
• Your cookie choice: stored in your browser (not as a cookie) so we don't ask again. Kept for six months.
• Google Analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_ followed by an ID): set only after you accept analytics cookies. Used to distinguish visits, and can last for up to two years unless you clear them.

You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. If you reject analytics cookies after accepting them, we delete the Google Analytics cookies and stop collecting analytics. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Who we share your information with

We don't sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the website and our business, and only as needed for them to do so:

• Amazon Web Services, which hosts the website and its content management system, where contact form messages are stored, and which delivers contact form messages to our inbox (Amazon SES).
• Google, which provides Google Analytics, only if you have accepted analytics cookies.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights, our users or others.

International transfers

Our service providers may process your information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where the law requires it, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, for these transfers.

How long we keep your information

We keep contact form messages and related correspondence for as long as we need them to respond to you and to keep a reasonable record of our business dealings, and then delete them. Analytics data is kept in line with the retention settings of our Google Analytics account.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• ask us to correct or delete it
• object to, or ask us to restrict, how we use it
• withdraw your consent to analytics cookies at any time
• complain to your local data protection authority

To make a request, email hello@magistry.co. We may need to confirm your identity before we respond.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, such as encrypted connections and restricted access to our systems. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

Children

This website is intended for professionals in the commercial production industry and isn't directed at children under 16. We don't knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it last changed.
