Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 8, 2023
We at Digital Film Farm, d/b/a John Holser Productions (“Company”, “we”, “us”) respect your privacy and want you to understand how we collect, use, and share data about you, our visitors, users, and customers. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) addresses our data collection practices and describes your rights to access, correct, or restrict our use of your personal information.
Unless we state otherwise, this Policy applies when you visit or use the Company website https://digitalfilmfarm.com/
By using this site, you agree to the terms of this Policy, our Terms of Service (available here), and any other written agreement that governs your use of the site. You should not use our site if you disagree with the terms and conditions contained in such agreements.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT
Information You Provide Us
Here are some examples of data we collect from the information you provide us:
User Account Data: When you purchase or are granted access to one of our products (such as an online course, membership site, etc.), you need to create a User Account. When you create your User Account, you must provide certain information like your email address and password. We collect data regarding which products you have access to, how much you paid for those products or services, the first date you signed into your User Account, the number of times you’ve signed into your User Account, the date of your last activity in your User Account and which lessons you’ve completed. For your security, the Digital FilmFarm is unable to view your User Account password.
Payment Data: If you purchase a Company product or service, we collect certain data about your purchase as necessary to process your request. You must provide certain payment and billing data directly to our third-party payment processing partners, including your name, credit card number, security code, expiration date, billing address, and zip code. For your security, the Company does not have access to or store sensitive cardholder data, such as full credit card numbers or card authentication data.
Online Webinars: To enroll in one of our online webinars, you must provide certain information, like your name and email address so that we can communicate information about attending the online webinar. We collect data regarding which online webinar(s) you enrolled in, whether you attended the webinar and, if so, for how long, whether you purchased a product during an online webinar, as well as any feedback in the form of responses to surveys and/or chat features that may be enabled for an online webinar. Such online webinars are hosted via third-party platforms; therefore, the collection, use, and sharing of your data will also be subject to the privacy policies and related agreements of that third party.
Shared Public Content: Our Sites permit you to interact publicly with other users and us, share content, post comments, and ask or answer questions. Others may publicly view such shared content, depending on where it is posted. If such information is shared on a third-party platform, such as a social media site, the collection, use, and sharing of your data will also be subject to that third party’s privacy policies and related agreements.
Quizzes, Forms, Giveaways, Promotions, and Surveys: We may invite you to complete a quiz, form, survey, provide feedback, or participate in a promotion (like a giveaway), either through our Sites or a third-party platform. If you participate, we will collect and store the data you provide us as part of your participation, such as your name and email address and any other requested feedback. If you submit this information via a third-party platform, the collection, use, and sharing of your data will also be subject to that third party’s privacy policies and other agreements.
Electronic Communications from Company: If you elect to receive email notifications from us, we collect your name and email address so that we can send you email communications about the requested information, products, and services.
Customer Support: If you contact us (via email, phone, text, messaging platform, or through our social media channels), we may collect and store your name, email address, telephone number, the content of your message, information about your business and any other data you provide. Some Site transactions may require us to telephone or text the customer. We will not contact you by telephone without your prior consent.
