1. Who We Are

European Screen is an independent editorial platform dedicated to European cinema. This privacy policy explains how we handle information when you visit our site.

2. What We Collect

European Screen does not require registration, login, or any personal information to use the site. We do not collect names, email addresses, or payment details.

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log basic technical data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, and pages viewed. This data is used solely for maintaining site performance and security.

3. Cookies

European Screen does not use advertising or tracking cookies. If we use any cookies in the future (for example, to remember a preference), we will update this policy and notify you on the site.

4. Analytics

We use Umami, a privacy-focused, self-hosted analytics tool, to understand how visitors navigate the site. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect any personally identifiable information, and does not track users across other websites. IP addresses are anonymised (hashed with a daily-rotating salt) and never stored in identifiable form. The data we collect is aggregate and limited to: pages viewed, referring sites, country-level geography, device type, and browser. This data is stored on our own server in Germany and is not shared with any third party.

5. Third-Party Services

Our site may embed content from third-party platforms such as Dailymotion, Vimeo, or YouTube for film trailers. When you play an embedded video, that platform may collect data according to its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these services.

6. External Links

Our site contains links to external websites (streaming platforms, film databases, etc.). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share any visitor data with third parties. We do not run advertising on this site.

8. Children

European Screen is a general-audience site about cinema. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
