The privacy of your data is a big deal to us. Your data is not ours. We'll only access your account to help you with a problem. We log all access to all accounts by IP address, so we can always verify that no unauthorized access has happened.

Identity and access

When you sign up for FilmHERO, we ask for your name, company name, and email address. That's just so you can personalize your new account, and we can send you invoices, updates, or other essential information. we'll never sell your personal info to third parties, and we won't use your name or company in marketing statements without your permission, either.

When you pay for FilmHERO, we ask for your credit card and billing address. That's so we can charge you for service, calculate taxes due, and send you invoices. Your credit card is passed directly to our payment processor and doesn't ever go through our servers. We store a record of the payment transaction, including the last 4 digits of the credit card number, for account history, invoicing, and billing support. We store your billing address to calculate any VAT tax due in the United Kingdom, to detect fraudulent credit card transactions, and to print on your invoices.

When you write FilmHERO with a question or to ask for help, we'll keep that correspondence, and the email address, for future reference. When you browse our marketing pages, we'll track that for statistical purposes (like conversion rates and to test new designs). We also store any information you volunteer, like surveys, for as long as it makes sense.
