Privacy Policy

At midicinema.com, we place great importance on your privacy and the protection of your personal data. As we share our art with you, we believe that this digital bond between us must be based on trust.

This policy has been prepared to transparently explain what information we collect and why when you visit our site, how we use this information, and what your rights are over your data.

1. Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the data you provide in the comments form (name, email, etc.), as well as your IP address and browser information to help us prevent unwanted comments (spam).

To display a profile picture next to your comment, we may check if you are using the Gravatar service associated with your email address. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.

2. Media

When uploading images to the site, we recommend that you avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Please note that other visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files we use to make your experience smoother and more personal.

  • Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, your name, email address, and website may be saved in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
  • Session and Preference Cookies: When you log in to our site, we use cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. This ensures you do not have to log in again every time you visit. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. When you log out of your account, the login cookies are removed.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Pages on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, trailers, images, etc.) from other websites. This embedded content behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

5. Who We Share Your Data With

We will absolutely not share your data with third parties for commercial purposes without your explicit consent, except for legal obligations.

However, for technical processes such as a password reset request or services like spam detection, it may be necessary to share your data (e.g., your IP address) with the relevant service providers. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

6. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • User Profiles: For users that register on our site (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also see and edit that information.

7. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on midicinema.com or have left comments, you have full control over your data. You can make the following requests from us:

  • Right to Access: You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
  • Right to Erasure (‘Right to be Forgotten’): You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

You can contact us to exercise these rights.
