3. How your data is stored

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@thefilmfolder.com and we will respond within 30 days.

7. Data retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all associated data (watchlist, film cards, profile) is permanently deleted from our database.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page will reflect when it was last changed. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
