A legal disclaimer
Last updated: 9th June 2006
Northborough Films respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we may collect when you contact us through our website, email, social media or any other direct enquiry method.
1. What Information We Collect
Northborough Films does not collect personal information from visitors simply browsing our website.
We only collect personal information when you choose to provide it to us, for example when you submit an enquiry, contact us about a project, request script access, discuss sponsorship, partnership, funding, production work, casting, crew opportunities or any other business matter.
The information we may collect includes:

Your email address

Your phone number, if you choose to provide it
-
Your company, organisation or professional role, if relevant

We use the information you provide to:
-
Respond to your enquiry

Discuss potential partnerships, sponsorships, funding or investment opportunities
-
Manage requests to review scripts, treatments, pitch materials or project details

Issue or discuss Non-Disclosure Agreements where required

We do not sell your personal information.
3. Script Requests and Confidential Material
If you request access to a script, treatment, pitch deck or other confidential project material, we may ask for further details about who you are, your company or professional background, and your reason for requesting access.
Before any script or confidential material is shared, we may require you to review and sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Northborough Films reserves the right to decline any request for script or project access where we consider the enquiry to be unsuitable, incomplete, commercially inappropriate, not aligned with the project, or not in the best interests of Northborough Films, its writers, producers, partners or creative team.
4. Lawful Basis for Using Your Information
We use personal information where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests, including responding to enquiries, managing project discussions, protecting our creative work, and developing professional relationships.
Where we are discussing a potential contract, collaboration, NDA, production arrangement, funding opportunity or commercial agreement, we may also use your information to take steps before entering into a contract.
5. Who We Share Your Information With?
We will only share your information where necessary and appropriate.
This may include sharing relevant enquiry details with:
-
Northborough Films team members
-
Producers, writers or project leads connected to the relevant project
-
Legal or professional advisers, where needed
-
Production partners or collaborators, where relevant to your enquiry
-
Website, email or business service providers who help us operate the website and manage communications
We do not share your information for unrelated marketing purposes.
6. How Long We Keep Your Information?
We keep enquiry information only for as long as reasonably necessary.
For general enquiries, we may keep your details for a reasonable period so we can respond properly and keep a record of the communication.
For script requests, NDA discussions, production enquiries, partnership discussions, sponsorship enquiries, funding conversations or commercial matters, we may keep relevant correspondence for longer where needed for business, legal, contractual, intellectual property or production reasons.
When information is no longer needed, we will delete it or securely archive it.

Our website platform may use essential cookies or basic technical tools needed to operate the website properly. These may be controlled by the website provider.
If we add analytics, newsletter sign-ups, advertising pixels or other tracking tools in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.
