Last updated: May 6, 2025

The Light Leaks (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your personal information. This policy explains how we collect, use, and store your information when you interact with our website, events, newsletter, and community offerings—both online and in person.

1. Who We Are

The Light Leaks® is a registered trademark. We are a media platform and community space dedicated to uplifting women and nonbinary filmmakers. We create and share original content, host events, and foster community through platforms like our website and newsletter.

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect personal information unless you voluntarily provide it to us. The only data we may collect includes:

  • Newsletter sign-up: If you join our mailing list, we collect your email address.

  • Events (online or in-person): If you RSVP or sign up for an event, we may collect basic contact details (e.g., your name and email) to manage attendance.

  • Community interactions: If you share information in our community spaces (e.g., via Discord, Patreon, or email outreach), any data shared is voluntary and at your discretion.

We do not require users to share more than what’s needed to access our content or spaces. Participation is always optional.

3. How We Use Your Information

We only use the information you provide for the reasons you intended:

  • To send you newsletters you subscribed to

  • To communicate with you about events or community updates you asked for

You have full control over the information you share with us:

  • You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time via the link in our emails.

  • You can request to have any personal data we have about you deleted by contacting us at thelightleaks.info@gmail.com.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Any data you choose to share is done so at your own risk.

6. Community Responsibility

Please be mindful when sharing personal information in public or semi-public spaces (like online chat or event forums). The Light Leaks is not responsible for what others do with information shared in those spaces.
