Privacy Policy
World Without End Productions (Pty) Ltd (“World Without End Productions,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of visitors to its website. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through the website, how that information may be used, when it may be disclosed, and the choices available to users regarding their personal information. This Privacy Policy should be read together with the Company's Terms of Use, including the provisions relating to ownership of content, restrictions on use, disclaimers, location, and unsolicited submissions of creative material.
By accessing or using this website, a visitor acknowledges that they have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If a visitor does not agree with this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use, that visitor should not use the website.
Information Collected
The Company may collect personal information that a visitor voluntarily provides through the website, including for example a name, email address, telephone number, company name, project-related business details, and any message submitted through a contact form, inquiry form, newsletter sign-up, casting notice response, or other communication channel made available on the website. Providing such information is voluntary, but some website features or communications may not be available if the information is not provided.
The Company may also automatically collect certain technical and usage information when a visitor interacts with the website. This may include IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages visited, time spent on pages, dates and times of access, and general website interaction data collected through server logs, cookies, analytics tools, pixels, or similar technologies.
The Company does not seek to collect sensitive personal information unless it is specifically necessary and lawfully permitted. Visitors are requested not to submit unnecessary personal information or any confidential creative material through the website.
Unsolicited Creative Material
Consistent with the Company's Terms of Use, World Without End Productions does not accept unsolicited submissions of screenplays, treatments, ideas, pitches, characters, concepts, formats, synopses, production proposals, or other creative material submitted through the website or via contact details published on the website, unless the Company has expressly requested such material in writing in advance.
Any creative material or related personal information included in an unsolicited submission may be deleted, disregarded, or destroyed without review, acknowledgment, or confidentiality protection. Submission of such material does not create a confidential, fiduciary, implied contractual, or other special relationship with the Company, and visitors should not use the website as a channel for sending protected or confidential creative concepts unless a formal submission process has been established by the Company.
Use of Information
The Company may use collected information for legitimate business and website-related purposes, including:
- to respond to inquiries, correspondence, or requests;
- to administer and improve the website and its functionality;
- to monitor website performance, security, and usage trends;
- to communicate about projects, company news, or business opportunities where lawful;
- to protect the rights, property, creative interests, or legal position of the Company;
- to investigate misuse of the website, suspected fraud, security incidents, or legal violations; and
- to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.
Where required by applicable law, personal information will be processed only for a specific, explicitly defined, and lawful purpose, and only to the extent reasonably necessary for that purpose. South African POPIA guidance emphasizes purpose limitation, minimality, and confidentiality when personal information is processed.
Disclosure of Information
The Company does not sell personal information. The Company may disclose personal information to service providers, professional advisers, technology vendors, hosting providers, analytics providers, and other parties who assist with website operation or legitimate business functions, provided such disclosure is reasonably necessary and subject to appropriate confidentiality or data handling safeguards.
The Company may also disclose information where required or permitted by law, to respond to lawful requests by regulators or authorities, to protect legal rights, to investigate fraud or misuse, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, restructuring, or other corporate transaction.
Retention and Security
The Company will retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate business records, or to comply with legal obligations. South African privacy guidance similarly provides that personal information should not be kept longer than necessary and should be securely handled.
Reasonable technical and organizational measures will be used to help protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and any transmission of information through the website is at the visitor's own risk.
Data Subject Rights
Subject to applicable law, a visitor may have the right to request access to personal information held about them, request correction or updating of inaccurate information, object to certain processing, request deletion where lawful, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.
Requests relating to personal information may be submitted using the contact details provided on the website. The Company may take reasonable steps to verify identity before responding to a request.
Children
The website is not directed to children, and the Company does not knowingly collect personal information from children through the website without lawful basis and appropriate authorization. If the Company becomes aware that personal information has been collected from a child in a manner that is not permitted by law, it may take steps to delete that information.
Third-Party Links
The website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services. The Company is not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or information-handling practices of third-party sites, and visitors should review the privacy policies of those sites separately.
Location
World Without End Productions operates this website from the Republic of South Africa. Personal information collected through the website may be processed in South Africa and, where necessary for website hosting, analytics, communications, or service delivery, may be processed by service providers in other jurisdictions subject to appropriate safeguards and lawful grounds for transfer.
Use of the website signifies understanding that information may be processed in jurisdictions other than the visitor's own, subject to applicable law and the Company's operational requirements.
