Emotional Pictures is a producer of non-fiction programming, whose series have aired on more than 15 television networks and in more than 50 countries worldwide. And, privacy is of great importance to us. Therefore, we have established this Privacy Policy as a means to communicate our information gathering and dissemination practices.
It is important that you read this Privacy Policy, together with any other terms, releases and notices that we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal information about you, so that you are aware of how and why we are using such information. If there are other parties involved in any productions who have collected your personal information directly from you, they may use your information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie notices, which you should also read.
By using this website and/or providing information to us during our normal course of business, such as through your participation in productions, you signify your assent to this Privacy Policy. We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time in our sole discretion and will post any such changes on our website. If you are from outside the United States, please note any information you provide may be transferred to, stored, and processed within the United States.
We do not collect personal information from you when you visit our website. If you choose to contact us via email through our website, we may retain your email and email address along with any other associated information. Doing so is completely voluntary on your part, and you have the choice about whether and what information to disclose via your email.
We may collect certain personal information from you outside of our website during the course of our normal business operations if you do business with us and/or are employed by us. For example, we may collect certain personal information about you (such as, without limitation, name, email address, date of birth, address, and phone number) through your participation in a production and related activities, either directly from you or from your representative, or from third parties authorized by you.
