Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Ultimate Cineverse (“we”, “us”) handles information when you visit Ultimate Cineverse online properties (the “Site”), contact us, or use related services. It covers analytics, advertising on blog pages, cookies, and your privacy rights.

1. Who we are

Controller: Ultimate Cineverse. Privacy requests: hello@ultimatecineverse.com.

2. What we collect

Information you provide

• Contact form — name, email address, and message content you submit.
• Email — if you write us directly at hello@ultimatecineverse.com.

Information collected automatically

• Technical data — IP address, browser type, device, pages viewed, referring URL, approximate location derived from IP, and timestamps.
• Cookies & similar technologies — see our Cookie Policy and the cookie banner on this Site.

3. How we use information

• Respond to inquiries and operate the Site.
• Measure traffic and improve performance (Google Analytics 4), when you consent.
• Show advertising on /blog pages only (Google AdSense), when you consent.
• Comply with law, prevent abuse, and secure our systems.

We do not sell your personal information for money. Under some US state laws, “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising may apply when ads are personalized — you can opt out via cookie preferences or the links below.

4. Cookies & third parties

Depending on your choices, we may use:

• Google Analytics 4 — analytics cookies and measurement. Google’s terms apply; see Google Privacy Policy.
• Google AdSense — advertising cookies on blog routes only. Ads may be personalized or non-personalized based on consent. See How Google uses information from sites.
• Hosting / performance — our host (e.g. Vercel) may process technical logs and first-party performance metrics needed to deliver the Site.
• Sanity — if you use our content studio, Sanity processes account and content data under their terms (editors only).

We load analytics and advertising scripts only after consent (where required) and use Google Consent Mode v2 signals so Google products respect your choices in the EEA/UK and similar regions.

5. Legal bases (GDPR / UK GDPR)

• Consent — non-essential cookies, analytics, and advertising.
• Legitimate interests — securing the Site, preventing fraud, basic operations.
• Contract / steps prior to contract — responding to booking or production inquiries you initiate.
• Legal obligation — when we must retain or disclose information.

6. Your rights

EEA / UK (GDPR)

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and object to certain processing. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time via Manage cookies in the site footer without affecting prior lawful processing. You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

California (CCPA / CPRA) and similar US state laws

California residents may request to know, delete, or correct personal information, and to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not knowingly sell personal information of minors under 16. To exercise rights, email hello@ultimatecineverse.com with “Privacy request” in the subject. You will not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

Global Privacy Control (GPC) and similar browser signals: treat a valid opt-out signal as a request to disable advertising cookies where technically feasible; also use Manage cookies.

7. Retention

Contact messages are kept as long as needed to respond and for ordinary business records (typically up to 24 months unless a longer period is required). Analytics and ad data follow Google’s retention settings and your consent choices. Consent preferences remain until you change them or clear site data.

8. Security & international transfers

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures. Providers (Google, hosting, CMS) may process data in the United States or other countries. Where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses) offered by those providers.

9. Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or the age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect their personal information.

10. Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use of the Site after changes means you have seen the updated policy.
