   (3) Background

We gather and use certain data about individuals in order to provide those individuals with access to the films on this website and in our apps and, in particular, to enable registrations and subscriptions to this website and in our apps and to create member profiles, which give you a better viewing experience by allowing you to opt in to additional information about films. We control access to the films and member profiles on this site and in our apps to real people (rather than algorithms) by asking people to give us their email address and/or phone number in order to create a member profile.

We also collect information to better understand how visitors use our website and our apps to present timely, relevant information to them and by aggregating this data, we can select films that are more appropriate for our viewing audiences.

   (4) The data that we gather 

We collate some of the following information:

• Contact information (either Email address and/or telephone number). This enables you to have a personalised account and re-set passwords.
• Website and app usage data
• From time to time, other data that you give to us via surveys (e.g. demographic data) – it is up to you if you want to complete our surveys and you can opt out of them at any time.
• Other information pertaining to special offers • Username (so that you can login to our services) • IP address and device (to help authenticate user location as some films are only available in certain geographies and will not stream correctly on some devices) This information is collected from information that you choose to provide to Discover.film (e.g. by filling out forms and completing surveys) or when you agree for third parties to pass this information on to Discover.film. This would be when you tick a box, for example, to allow login with another service that you use.

How we use this data

We will only contact you when you have specifically opted in to our email service which we will make clear to you.
• To contact you via email, telephone or mail for market research reasons (again only if you have specifically and clearly given us permission to do this).
• To send push notifications if appropriate in your app or set top box settings. If this is a setting, you can turn it off.
