​

Dee Barlas Productions Ltd., operating as Dee Barlas Films (“Dee Barlas Films,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal information collected through our website. Dee Barlas Films is a federally incorporated company operating in Ontario, Canada.

 

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website, why we collect it, how we use and disclose it, and the choices available to you. Our website is built and hosted on the Wix platform.

 

1. Information We Collect
We collect only information that is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

 

Information you provide to us
Our website does not currently require visitors to create an account or log in, and it does not include a contact form. You are not required to provide personal information simply to browse our website.

 

If you choose to contact us by email using the address provided on our website, we will receive your email address and any information you voluntarily include in your message, which may include your name, your email address, and the contents of your message.

 

We are planning to offer an email newsletter in the future. If and when that newsletter becomes available and you choose to subscribe, we will collect your email address only. We will not require you to provide your name, telephone number, username, or any account information in order to subscribe.

 

Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, certain technical and usage information may be collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies used by the Wix platform.

 

Our website is hosted by Wix. As our platform and hosting provider, Wix may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for website hosting, functionality, security, performance, and analytics. This processing is carried out by Wix as part of providing the platform on which our website operates.

 

We use Wix Analytics to understand general website traffic and usage. This may involve technical information such as pages visited, interactions with the website, general location, browser or device information, IP address, and similar technical information. We do not currently use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, or other third-party behavioural advertising or tracking tools on our website.

 

2. How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information to:

 

- respond to communications you send to us;

- provide and manage email newsletter subscriptions, if and when that service becomes available;

- send updates to subscribers about Dee Barlas Films, subject to the consent requirements described in this Privacy Policy;

- operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website;

- understand general website traffic and usage through analytics;

- comply with applicable legal requirements; and

- fulfill other purposes disclosed at the time information is collected or otherwise permitted or required by law.

 

We will not use personal information for purposes unrelated to those described above without obtaining consent where required by applicable law.

 

3. Email Newsletter
We are planning to offer an email newsletter in the future. It is not yet active. When it becomes available, subscription will be voluntary, and we will collect your email address only for this purpose.

 

If you subscribe, we will use your email address to send you updates from Dee Barlas Films, which may include information about our films, productions, creative work, website content, and company news.

 

Consistent with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), we will only send commercial electronic messages to subscribers who have consented to receive them, we will identify ourselves as the sender in those messages, and we will include a working unsubscribe mechanism in each message.

 

We will not add you to our newsletter list without your consent, and you may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism included in our emails.

 

4. Cookies and Analytics
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies provided through the Wix platform.

We have enabled a cookie-consent banner on our website. Based on our current website configuration and cookie scan, the website currently uses essential cookies and does not currently use additional third-party advertising, marketing, or behavioural tracking mechanisms.

Essential cookies are used for purposes such as website operation, security, and basic functionality. Where non-essential cookies or technologies are introduced in the future, our cookie-consent mechanism may be used to provide visitors with information about those technologies and, where applicable, allow visitors to manage their preferences.

We use Wix Analytics to understand general website traffic and usage. Analytics functionality may depend on visitor consent and our current Wix configuration.

Our cookie and tracking practices may change if we add, remove, or modify website features, services, analytics, advertising, social-media integrations, or other technologies. We may update this Privacy Policy and our cookie-consent settings when appropriate.

You may also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings.

 

5. Wix, Etsy, and Other Third-Party Services
Our website is built and hosted through Wix. Wix may process information in connection with website hosting, security, performance, analytics, and related services. Wix’s own privacy practices also apply to information Wix processes in accordance with its role as our platform provider.

Our website may contain external links or icons to third-party websites, platforms, applications, social-media services, teaching and course platforms, membership platforms, online stores, and other services. These may include Etsy, YouTube, Teachable, Patreon, and other services that we may use now or in the future.

Unless otherwise stated, these are ordinary external links rather than embedded feeds, widgets, or third-party checkout systems operating within our Wix website. When you click an external link, you may leave our website and be directed to the third-party service.

Once you leave our website, the third-party service may collect, use, store, or disclose personal information according to its own privacy policy, terms of service, cookie practices, and other applicable policies. You are responsible for reviewing the applicable policies of those services before providing personal information or using their services.

For example, if you visit our Etsy shop, Etsy’s own policies govern information collected through Etsy, including information associated with purchases, payments, billing, shipping, and customer accounts on that platform. We do not collect Etsy checkout or payment information through our Wix website.

Similarly, if we provide links to YouTube, Patreon, Teachable, or other social-media, teaching, course, or membership platforms, those platforms may collect information when you interact with their services. Their respective privacy policies and terms will apply to their processing of personal information.

If we introduce paid memberships, subscription services, YouTube memberships, Patreon services, course enrollment, external teaching services, digital-product delivery, or similar offerings, the applicable third-party platform may collect information such as names, email addresses, account information, payment information, enrollment information, course activity, membership information, or other information necessary to provide those services.

Where a third-party service processes personal information on our behalf, we remain responsible for addressing our applicable privacy obligations concerning personal information under our control. We will take reasonable steps to assess and manage third-party service providers and their handling of personal information as required by applicable law.

We may introduce additional third-party services in the future. When we do so, our Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect material changes to the types of personal information collected, the purposes for which information is used, or the ways information is disclosed.

 

6. Production-Related Inquiries
Dee Barlas Films develops and produces its own original film projects.

 

You are welcome to contact us by email regarding potential professional involvement in our own productions - for example, casting, crew, producing, or collaboration opportunities.

 

Please note that we do not accept unsolicited screenplays, story pitches, or proposals for outside film projects, as we develop and produce our own original work.

 

If you voluntarily provide personal information in connection with a professional inquiry, we may use that information to respond to your inquiry and to consider potential professional involvement in our productions.

 

7. Information We Do Not Currently Collect Through the Website
At present, our website does not:

 

- require visitors to create accounts, log in, or maintain user profiles;

- operate a Wix online store or e-commerce checkout;

- collect payment or credit-card information through the Wix website;

- collect shipping or billing information through the Wix website;

- include a contact form; or

- accept unsolicited screenplays, story pitches, or film-project proposals.

 

If we introduce any of these or other features in the future, we may update this Privacy Policy to reflect the information collected and how it is used.

 

8. Disclosure of Personal Information
We use personal information only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

 

We may disclose personal information to service providers that assist us with services such as website hosting and, in the future, email newsletter distribution. These service providers are authorized to use personal information only as necessary to provide services to us. If we introduce e-commerce, payment processing, or digital-product delivery in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.

 

We may also disclose personal information where required or permitted by law, including in response to lawful requests or legal obligations.

 

We do not sell personal information.

 

9. Retention and Security
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate business records, or to comply with legal obligations.

 

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

 

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

 

10. Access, Correction, and Deletion
Subject to applicable law, you may contact us to request access to personal information we hold about you, or to request correction of information that is inaccurate or incomplete.

 

Where applicable, you may also request deletion of your personal information. We may need to retain certain information where we have a legal, regulatory, or legitimate business reason to do so, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to fully accommodate your request.

 

We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

 

11. Withdrawal of Consent
Where we rely on your consent to collect, use, or disclose personal information, you may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.

 

If we offer an email newsletter, you may unsubscribe from those communications at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the applicable email.

 

You may also contact us directly regarding privacy or consent-related requests using the contact details below.
