Privacy
Website privacy and inquiry handling.
James Alton Films collects only the information needed to operate the
site, understand basic website use and handle project inquiries.
01 Information received.
When you email or contact James Alton Films, James may receive your name, email address, project details, scheduling notes, links, references and any other information you choose to provide. Website contact forms ask for name, email and message. To protect against delivery failures, the site may save the latest draft and final submitted version of a form, along with source, referral, browser, device, time, IP-related and hosting metadata.
02 How it is used.
Information is used to understand the inquiry, respond where there is a fit, maintain normal business records, diagnose form or delivery issues and protect the site from abuse. James Alton Films does not sell inquiry information.
03 Analytics and site operation.
The site may use privacy-conscious analytics, server logs, hosting records, security tools or similar operational data to understand traffic, diagnose errors and improve performance. This may include browser, device, referral, page, date, time, approximate location and IP-related information handled by hosting or analytics providers.
04 Draft backup.
Draft form backups are intended as short-term recovery records. They are stored as a single latest state for that browser session rather than a typing history. A final submission overwrites the draft state for that session.
05 Confidential material.
Please do not send confidential scripts, treatments, budgets, private production documents, personal data or sensitive client material through the contact form or ordinary email unless an appropriate agreement or secure transfer method is already in place.
06 Retention and updates.
James Alton Films may retain inquiry and business correspondence where useful for legitimate business records, follow-up, legal obligations or future project reference. You may request a correction or deletion of personal inquiry information, subject to normal business and legal record requirements.
