The security and privacy of your personal information is important to us, so this privacy notice for Almost Human Media ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), describes the way in which we might collect, store, use, and/or share ("process") your information when you use our services ("Services"), such as:

  • visiting our website at almosthumanmedia.com (“Site”);
  • using our products;
  • engaging in business with us;
  • using our services at events we organize or attend.

Please read this entire Notice to make sure you understand it.

What Personal Information we collect

For the purpose of this Notice “Personal Information” has the meaning attributed to it in relevant Privacy Laws. Examples of personal information that we might acquire include your name, address, telephone number, email address, photographs, videos or audio recordings.

We only acquire personal information directly from you, whether in person, on the phone or electronically. This could be because you contact us, use our services, visit our website and social media pages, or purchase our goods directly from us or from third party organizations. We may collect personal information about you from third parties, including from:

  • clients, business associates and participants in events we sponsor or attend;
  • websites that sell our products;
  • our employees and artists;
  • public databases.

We use your information to improve and administer our Services, to run our business, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law.

Privacy of children:

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using our Services and/or Products, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services.

If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at privacy@almosthumanmedia.com.

How we Process (share) your Personal Information

We use your personal information for our own internal business purposes, such as communicating directly with you and for undertaking internal research for technological development. We do not collect, share or sell personal information with third parties for business or commercial purpose.

Legal bases to process your information:

If we share your personal information, it is only with a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or fulfill our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our legitimate business interests. Otherwise we do not share personal information to third parties without your consent.

If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you:

We adhere to The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR which require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:

  • Consent. We may use your personal information for a specific purpose if you have given us permission/consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
  • Legal Obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
  • Vital Interests. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

How long we keep your information

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

How we keep your information safe

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

Rights of Access to your Personal Information

Based on the applicable laws of your country, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we collect from you, change that information, or delete it. You can ask for the deletion of your personal information. If you ask us to delete your personal information, we will respect your request and delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions provided by law, such as (but not limited to) the exercise by another consumer of his or her right to free speech, our compliance requirements resulting from a legal obligation, or any processing that may be required to protect against illegal activities.
