Privacy Policy

Brainy Movie operates the website and related creator and promotion tools available through brainy-movie.com.

For the purposes of data protection laws, Brainy Movie acts as the controller of the personal data described in this Privacy Policy.

For privacy-related questions or requests, contact:
notifications@brainy-movie.com

Depending on how you use Brainy Movie, we may collect:

• account details such as your email address, display name, full name, login identifiers, and account role;
• creator-submitted data such as movie metadata, descriptions, links, trailers, artwork, tags, creator profile information, and moderation-related submissions;
• transaction and billing data such as purchase type, plan or credit pack, subscription status, transaction references, customer IDs, invoice-related metadata, and support records related to billing;
• technical and usage data such as IP address, browser type, device information, approximate location, referring pages, pages visited, timestamps, and interaction events;
• communications and support messages you send to us;
• security and fraud-prevention data generated when protecting the platform and investigating abuse.

We do not intentionally collect special-category personal data, and you should not submit sensitive personal information through public profile or movie fields.

We use personal data for the following purposes:

• to create and manage user accounts and let users sign in securely;
• to operate public movie pages, creator pages, moderation tools, discovery features, and admin workflows;
• to process purchases, subscriptions, renewals, billing events, credits, and related support requests;
• to send transactional messages such as login, verification, billing, moderation, and service emails;
• to detect fraud, abuse, spam, policy violations, and security incidents;
• to analyze usage, improve product performance, fix bugs, and develop new features;
• to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our Terms of Service.

Where GDPR or similar privacy laws apply, Brainy Movie generally relies on one or more of the following lawful bases:

• Performance of a contract: when processing is necessary to provide your account, creator tools, purchases, subscriptions, and core platform services.
• Legitimate interests: when processing is reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve, moderate, and protect Brainy Movie, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Legal obligation: when we must keep records, respond to lawful requests, or meet tax, accounting, anti-fraud, or regulatory obligations.
• Consent: where consent is specifically required, for example for optional communications or non-essential technologies, if and when used.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. Brainy Movie does not necessarily store full payment card numbers or full card details on its own systems.

We may store operational billing records such as product purchased, subscription status, customer references, transaction references, credits granted, refunds, disputes, and related account metadata as needed to run the service and maintain proper records.

Brainy Movie may use cookies, local storage, session storage, pixel tags, or similar technologies to keep users signed in, maintain session state, protect the platform, understand site performance, and improve user experience.

If we introduce non-essential analytics, marketing, or preference technologies that require consent in your jurisdiction, we will seek that consent before using them where required.

We may share personal data with the following categories of recipients:

• hosting, infrastructure, and database providers;
• authentication and account-security providers;
• transactional email and communications providers;
• payment processors and billing service providers;
• analytics, monitoring, and error-tracking providers;
• professional advisers, auditors, insurers, or legal authorities where reasonably necessary;
• other parties where disclosure is required to prevent fraud, enforce our terms, or protect Brainy Movie, users, or third parties.

Brainy Movie and its service providers may process personal data in countries outside your own country of residence, including outside the European Economic Area or United Kingdom where applicable.

Where required by applicable law, we take reasonable steps to use an appropriate transfer mechanism or safeguard for such transfers, such as contractual protections, adequacy-based transfers, or equivalent measures made available by our service providers.

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to operate the service, maintain security, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations.

• account information is generally kept while your account remains active and for a reasonable period afterward to support account recovery, audits, and dispute handling;
• transaction, billing, and tax-related records may be kept for up to 7 years where needed for accounting, legal, or fraud-prevention purposes;
• security and server logs are typically kept only as long as needed for operational and security purposes;
• public creator or movie submissions may remain visible until they are edited, removed, or moderated, subject to operational backup and archival cycles.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

• request access to the personal data we hold about you;
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
• request deletion of personal data in certain circumstances;
• request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
• object to certain processing, including direct marketing;
• request portability of personal data where applicable;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

You may exercise these rights by contacting us at:
notifications@brainy-movie.com

If you believe your personal data has been handled unlawfully, you may have the right to complain to your local data protection or privacy regulator.

We would still appreciate the chance to address your concern first, so you may also contact us directly at:
notifications@brainy-movie.com

Brainy Movie is not intended for young children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children where doing so would require parental consent under applicable law.

If you believe a child has provided personal data to Brainy Movie in appropriately, contact us and we will review the request.

Brainy Movie does not currently use solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on users.

We may use automated systems for moderation support, spam filtering, fraud detection, ranking, or operational quality control, but major platform actions may still involve human review where appropriate.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and revise the “Last updated” date above.
