1. Introduction

Thank you for your interest in our documentary film. We take the protection of your personal data seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

Although we operate from Germany, this website is hosted by DreamHost, a U.S.-based hosting provider. This means that some personal data may be transferred to and processed on servers located in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country of residence. We take appropriate steps to ensure that your information remains protected.

This policy is intended to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as relevant U.S. privacy standards, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).
