Privacy Policy
Overview
Escarpment Films Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") is a business operating in Ontario, Canada. You can reach us at info@markbone.com with any questions about this policy.
This policy explains what personal information we collect through our website, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. It is written to comply with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), which governs the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by private-sector organizations in Ontario.
If you have concerns about how we handle your information, please contact us using the details at the end of this policy. If you're not satisfied with our response, you have the right to complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (contact details below).
Information We Collect
Contact form. The only place we actively collect personal information is the contact form on our “/contact” page. When you submit it, your name, email address, and message are sent directly to our inbox as an email via our email delivery provider, Resend. This information is not stored in any database or kept on our servers; it exists only as the email you generate, in the same way a message sent directly to our inbox would.
Device-stored preferences. Our website remembers a few preferences locally on your own device (not through cookies): whether you prefer dark or light mode, your cookie consent choices, and your video player volume setting. This information stays on your device and is never transmitted to us or to any third party.
Spam and abuse prevention. We perform a brief, real-time check of visitor activity on the contact form to prevent spam and abuse. This check happens in the moment and is not recorded, logged, or stored anywhere.
We do not use cookies to identify you, build a browsing profile of you, or serve targeted advertising, and we do not sell your personal information to anyone.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information submitted through the contact form solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not use it for marketing unless you separately and explicitly ask us to add you to a mailing list.
We rely on the following service providers to run our website. Each receives only the information necessary to perform its function.
We encourage you to review each provider's own privacy policy to understand how they handle information. Some of these providers may process or store data outside Canada (including in the United States). Where this happens, we take steps to ensure your information continues to receive a comparable level of protection, as required under PIPEDA.
Data Retention
Because contact form submissions are delivered only as an email and are never saved to a database, we retain that information for as long as the resulting email remains in our inbox, consistent with our normal email retention practices. Device-stored preferences remain only on your device and are cleared when you clear your browser's local storage.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to protect any personal information transmitted to us, including transmitting form submissions over encrypted (SSL/TLS) connections. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
Under PIPEDA, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information we hold about you and how it is used;
- Access the personal information we hold about you;
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information;
- Withdraw consent to our collection or use of your personal information (for example, by asking us to delete an email containing your contact form submission).
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post the updated version on this page with a revised effective date, and where changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify you.
