Privacy policy

Last updated:

This policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit 435films.com.ua or write to us, why we collect it, and what rights you have.

1. Who is responsible

The controller of the personal data described here is Limited Liability Company “435 Films” (ТОВ «435 ФІЛМС»), company code (EDRPOU) 37242922, Filatova Str. 10-A, office 2/14, 01042 Kyiv, Ukraine.

For anything related to privacy, including requests to exercise your rights, write to projects@435films.com.ua.

2. What we collect

When you contact us. If you use the contact form, we receive your name, email address and message. If you email or call one of our team directly, we receive whatever you choose to send us, along with your contact details.

When you visit the site. Our hosting provider automatically processes standard technical data needed to deliver the pages and protect the site from abuse: IP address, browser and device type, the page requested and the time of the request.

We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking tools, and we do not build visitor profiles.

3. Why we use it

  • To answer your message and carry on the conversation you started, for example about a co-production, filming in Ukraine or a project you want to share. The legal basis is taking steps at your request before a possible contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)) and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f)).
  • To run and secure the site. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a working, safe website (Art. 6(1)(f)).

We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or make automated decisions about you.

4. Who else handles it

We use a small number of service providers, each bound by a data processing agreement and allowed to use the data only on our behalf:

  • Vercel Inc. (USA) hosts the site and processes the technical request data described above.
  • Resend (Plus Five Five, Inc., USA) delivers contact form messages to our inbox.
  • Google Workspace (Google Ireland Ltd.) hosts our email, where messages you send us are stored.
  • YouTube (Google Ireland Ltd.) plays film trailers. The player is loaded only after you click play, in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Until then, no data is sent to YouTube.

Fonts are served from our own site, so no requests go to font providers when you visit.

5. Transfers outside Europe

Some of these providers are based in the USA. Where personal data is transferred there, the transfer relies on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

6. How long we keep it

  • Messages are kept for up to 24 months after our conversation ends, or longer if they relate to an ongoing project or we are legally required to keep them.
  • Server logs are kept by our hosting provider for a limited period, typically no more than 30 days.

7. Cookies

This site does not set cookies or use any other tracking technology. If you play a trailer, YouTube may store data on your device under its own privacy policy.

8. Your rights

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to its processing, and receive it in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, write to projects@435films.com.ua. We will reply within one month.

You can also lodge a complaint with the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights or with the data protection authority in the EU country where you live or work.

9. Changes to this policy

If we change what we collect or how we use it, we will update this page and the date at the top.
