  • protect the rights or safety of Sassafras Magellan Productions, Website visitors, or others;

  • investigate fraud or security incidents; or

10. Business Transfers

​

If Sassafras Magellan Productions undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale of assets, bankruptcy, dissolution, or similar transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

​

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to:

​

  • provide requested services;

  • maintain business records;

  • communicate with you;

  • comply with legal obligations;

12. Data Security

​

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction.

​

However, no internet transmission, electronic storage system, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

​

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through or stored by the Website.

​

13. Children's Privacy

​

Where's George? is a family motion picture intended to be enjoyed by audiences of different ages.

​

The Website is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children under 13.

​

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Website.

​

If we have actual knowledge that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 in circumstances where the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires parental consent, we will take appropriate steps required by applicable law.

​

This may include seeking verifiable parental consent or deleting the information, as appropriate.

​

Parents or legal guardians who believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us may contact us using the information provided in the “Contact Us” section below.

​

COPPA applies to certain child-directed websites and also to general-audience websites when they have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information from children under 13.

​

Child Performers in the Film

​

The motion picture Where's George? includes children as actors and members of its family cast.

​

The Website may therefore contain photographs, names, likenesses, voices, performances, film footage, interviews, or other materials featuring child performers.

​

Such materials relate to the motion picture and may be used for authorized film publicity, promotion, distribution, or presentation pursuant to applicable permissions, releases, agreements, licenses, and other rights associated with the production.

​

The presence of child performers in the film does not, by itself, mean that the Website is directed to children.

​

14. Your Privacy Choices

​

Depending on applicable law, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.

​

These may include rights to:

​

  • request information about personal information we maintain about you;

  • request correction of inaccurate personal information;

  • request deletion of personal information;

  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;

  • opt out of certain promotional communications;

  • exercise applicable rights concerning the sale or sharing of personal information; and

  • submit a privacy-related complaint or request.

 

The availability and scope of these rights depend on applicable law and the circumstances of the processing.

​

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

​

15. California Privacy Rights

​

If you are a California resident and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended, applies to Sassafras Magellan Productions and the relevant processing of your personal information, you may have additional rights under California law.

​

Depending on the circumstances, these may include rights to:

​

  • know about personal information collected about you;

  • request deletion of certain personal information;

  • request correction of inaccurate personal information;

  • opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information where applicable;

  • limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information where applicable; and

  • receive equal treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights.

 

The CCPA applies only to businesses meeting its statutory requirements; this section does not represent that Sassafras Magellan Productions necessarily falls within the CCPA's scope.

​

​

16. Do Not Track Signals

​

Some web browsers and devices offer “Do Not Track” or similar settings.

​

Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to such signals across all technologies, the Website may not respond to all browser-based Do Not Track signals.

​

Where applicable law requires a particular response to a recognized privacy signal, we will comply with applicable requirements.

​

17. International Visitors

​

Although Where's George? and its production company are based in the United States, the Website may be accessible from other countries.

​

If you access the Website from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.

​

Privacy and data-protection laws in those jurisdictions may differ from the laws of your country.

​

18. Links to Other Websites

​

The Website may contain links to websites and services operated by third parties.

​

This Privacy Policy does not govern those third-party websites.

​

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites or services.

​

Please review the privacy policy of each third-party service before providing personal information.

​
