SCRIPT CONSULTANCY

PRIVACY POLICY

 

 

I'll keep this nice and brief as you don't want to be spending your time poring over this
when you should be working on your screenplay.

That said, I take your data privacy very seriously and always have done. 
I respect your privacy and work hard to meet strict regulatory requirements.

​

Let me state upfront, loud and clear:
 

• I do not sell data

• I never buy email lists

• I never directly share data unless compelled by law

• I will only ask for personal information if I feel it's needed to provide a service or
  provide you with relevant information regarding writing or film-making
