Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Human Rights Human Wrongs AS collects and uses personal data when you use our website and services.

1. Who we are

HUMAN International Documentary Film Festival is operated by Human Rights Human Wrongs AS.
Website: https://humanfilm.no
Contact: [email protected]

2. What personal data we collect and why

2.1 Use of the website (statistics)

We use analytics tools (for example Google Analytics) to understand how the website is used and to improve content and functionality. The statistics are generally aggregated and used for analytical purposes.

2.2 Login – “My Program” (Google / social logins)

If you use social login (for example “Log in with Google/Facebook”) to access “My Program”, we process information that enables us to create and manage your account on our website. This typically includes:

  • name (as provided in your account with the login provider)

  • email address

  • profile picture (if available)

  • a technical identifier (for example a user ID from the provider)

We use this information to:

  • authenticate you and create/maintain your user account

  • link your content in “My Program” (favourites/planned screenings) to your account

  • allow you to request deletion of your account

We do not request access to your account beyond basic profile information (typically “email” and “profile”).

2.3 Forms

Our website includes forms, including film submission forms and volunteer application forms.

Film submissions:
The information is used to process your submission, communicate with you about the submission, and inform our pre-selection jury about submitted films. If a film is selected for the festival programme, information about the film, director, and producer may be published in the festival programme and online.

Volunteers:
The information is used to contact you and manage information related to volunteer work.

2.4 Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your information to send you updates about the festival. We typically use a third-party provider (for example Mailchimp) for distribution and administration. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the newsletter, or by contacting us at [email protected].

2.5 Festival passes

Personal data related to the purchase/activation of festival passes may be shared with our venues (for example Vega Scene and Cinemateket) for activation and handling of festival passes. The data is deleted after the festival ends, unless legal requirements require longer retention.

3. Embedded content from other websites

Articles on our website may include embedded content (videos, images, maps, articles, etc.). Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the external website directly, and it may collect data about you in accordance with its own policies.

4. Who we share personal data with

We do not share personal data with third parties unless:

  • it is necessary to provide a service you use (for example a newsletter provider or venues handling festival passes), or

  • we are legally required to do so.

5. Storage period

We store personal data for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, or as long as required by law. For “My Program”, we store account data as long as the account is active, or until you request deletion.

6. Deletion of user account (“My Program”)

If you would like your user account to be deleted, you can send a request to [email protected].
We will process your request and delete your account (and any related personal data we are required to remove) as soon as possible, and no later than the applicable deadlines under data protection law.

Please note that some information may be retained for a longer period if we are legally required to do so (for example, for accounting or security purposes).

7. Your rights

You have the right to:

  • request access to the personal data we hold about you

  • request correction or deletion

  • request restriction of processing

  • object to processing based on legitimate interest

  • request data portability (where applicable)

  • file a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet)

To exercise your rights, please contact us at [email protected].

8. Cookies

We use cookies to ensure the website functions properly, improve user experience, and collect statistics. You can change cookie settings in your browser. More information about cookies and settings is available at Nettvett.no.

9. Changes

We may update this policy when necessary. The updated version will be published on our website.
