Our website is intended for a general audience of adults interested in our films. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without the consent by the holder of parental responsibility. If you are under 13, you are prohibited from providing information to us through this website without verifiable parental consent. In the event we learn that we collected personal information from anyone under the age of 13, we will delete that information and only recollect the information after receiving parental consent. If you believe that we might have collected personal information from anyone under the age of 13, please contact us using the contact information below.
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE SHARE
We do not disclose your personal information except as described in this Privacy Policy or as we disclose to you at the time the data is collected. We only share your personal information in the following situations:
Payment processing. We use third parties to provide credit card, bank, payment and information processing services. If you choose to make a payment online, by phone, through the mail, or by other means, we will share your personal information with our processing service providers. We authorize these service providers to use your personal information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. We require these service providers by contract to safeguard the privacy and security of personal information they process on our behalf.
Contractors. From time to time, we may use contractors to help with our operations. These contractors are required by contract to protect your information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy and by not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for us.
Producing partner. Our films sometimes involve collaborations with other production companies. Dancing on the Elephant, for instance, is a collaboration with the Halifax, Nova Scotia-based Gorgeous Mistake Productions. We may share information we collect with our producing partners but any such producing partners are bound by all of the data limitations described in this Privacy Policy. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, a producing partner on a specific film (e.g., Gorgeous Mistake Productions with Dancing on the Elephant) is a full partner in the website and is not treated as a third party.
Necessity. We will disclose your personal information as required by law.
YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES
You have rights regarding the personal information we maintain about you. We also offer you choices about what personal information we collect from you, how we use that information, and how we communicate with you.
You have the right to:
Limit the sharing of your information with third parties for direct marketing purposes;
Obtain confirmation that we hold personal information about you;
Request access to and receive information about the personal information we maintain about you;
Receive copies of the personal information we maintain about you;
Update and correct inaccuracies in your personal information;

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Old North Productions is a U.S.-based organization but we may collaborate from time to time with organizations based in other countries. Although other countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information, we will protect the information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed to you at the time the data is collected. In countries with more stringent data protection policies, we will comply with the more stringent requirements.
INFORMATION SECURITY
We are committed to ensuring the privacy of your personal information and have established safeguards to help protect such information. For example, to protect your privacy, we use passwords to help verify authorized user identity before granting access anywhere your personal information is stored. All online monetary transactions are done on a secure server and through a third party payment vendor, which means that information entered on the transaction page is encrypted before transmission. Though we strive to ensure the security of your information on our systems, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and data transmission over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Where we believe it is in the interest of our website visitors, our website may include links to other websites. Our Privacy Policy only applies to our website and may not be applicable once you leave our website.
