GDPR AND CCPA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

 

Notwithstanding any other term or condition of the TOU, Butterfly Fish complies with the applicable provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act regarding personal data collected from Users, including individuals who reside in the European Union.

​

Lucido is the data controller of the personal data collected from Users.

 

Personal data is collected and processed only with the unambiguous consent and “opt-in” by the data subject as evidenced by clicking on the I AGREE  on the registration page of the Website(s). As noted in the Privacy Policy below, Butterfly Fish uses “cookies” in the operation of its Website(s), and by clicking on the I AGREE on the registration page of the Website(s), Users are consenting to the placement and use of cookies and generally “opting in” to the TOU.

Users have the right, at any time, to: (a) withdraw their consent to the collection and processing of personal data; (b) access the personal data and rectify, erase or block the data, (c) receive the personal data that Butterfly Fish has collected and to transmit the personal data to another data controller, and/or(c) object to the processing of their personal data without express consent.  Users may exercise these rights by contacting Sandra Lucido Data Protection Officer, at Butterfly Fish Productions, LLC.

By clicking on the I AGREE on the registration page of the Website(s), however, Users are also acknowledging and agreeing that (a) Lucido is authorized to transfer their personal data outside the European Union, and (b) because Butterfly Fish is explicitly authorized to make the personal data of some Users to third parties, Butterfly Fish will be able to rectify, erase or block the data that remains under its direct control but may not be able to do the same for personal data that has already been made available to third parties with the consent of the User. By way of example only, once the personal data of a User who is an actor is submitting to a User who is a casting director, Butterfly Fish is not able to withdraw or change the personal data that has been submitted to the casting director.

Butterfly Fish collects and processes personal data only for the specified purposes that are explicitly set forth in the TOU and only to the extent that the collection and processing of personal data is adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to these purposes.

 

Butterfly Fish uses its best efforts to assure that personal data is accurate when collected and updated when and where necessary to meet that objective.

 

Butterfly Fish takes every reasonable step to correct or delete personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete.

 

Personal data collected by Butterfly Fish is kept for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data was collected or for which it is further processed, and is deleted if and when it is no longer necessary for these purposes.

 

Butterfly Fish utilizes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect against loss, alteration and/or unauthorized disclosure of, and/or access to, personal data and/or the unauthorized processing of personal data.
