Rock The Boat Film Festival ("we", "us", "our") — i-video holdings Pty Ltd ATF Braovich Family Trust TA Rock The Boat Film Festival — respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains how we collect, use, store and disclose your information when you visit our website, enter the festival, or contact us. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

1. Information we collect

We only collect information you choose to give us, or that helps us run the festival:

2. How we use your information

We use your information to respond to enquiries, manage film submissions and judging, send festival updates you've asked for, run and promote festival events, and improve our website. We do not use your information for any unrelated purpose without your consent.

3. Sharing your information

We never sell your personal information. We only share it where necessary to run the festival — for example with trusted service providers such as FilmFreeway (submissions), our email/newsletter provider, and website analytics tools. These providers handle your data under their own privacy policies. We may also disclose information if required by law.

4. Cookies & analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar tools to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; some features may then work differently.

5. Photography & filming at events

Our festival events may be photographed or filmed for promotional use across our website and social media. If you attend and would prefer not to be featured, please let a staff member know on the night or contact us afterwards and we'll do our best to accommodate your request.

6. Storing & protecting your information

We take reasonable steps to keep your information secure and to hold it only for as long as we need it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access.

7. Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, and you can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email or by contacting us. We'll respond to reasonable requests promptly.

8. Links to other websites

Our site links to external sites such as FilmFreeway, social media and sponsors. We aren't responsible for their privacy practices — please review their policies before sharing information with them.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always appear on this page with its revision date.
