We have outlined our privacy policy below.

  • We will collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned.
  • Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we will identify the purposes for which information is being collected.
  • We will collect and use personal information solely for fulfilling those purposes specified by us and for other ancillary purposes, unless we obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law.
  • Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
  • We will protect personal information by using reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

  • We will only retain personal information for as long as necessary for the fulfilment of those purposes.

Contact Forms and Newsletter

When you fill out a contact form, or subscribe to our newsletter, you are sharing the personal information requested on those forms with us. At the Producing Unscripted main site this includes your full name and email address.

Forms used to sign up for the free members only portion of the site collect your full name, user name, email address, mailing address, phone number, whether you consider yourself a producer or on-camera talent, and filmmaking or on-camera experience. Additionally, if you use the Members Pitch Portal, we collect your creative materials including your submission agreement, a brief description of your project, links to any video, any other creative materials or photos, and whether or not you’ve pitched your project to a TV network or production company.

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included to help protect your privacy.

User Registration

For users that register on the free members only portion of the website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information. That information includes your full name, user name, email address, mailing address, phone number, whether you consider yourself a producer or on-camera talent, filmmaking or on-camera experience.

About Cookies, Tracking, and Google Analytics and Google reCAPTCHA

To improve your experience on our site, we may use ‘cookies’. Cookies are an industry standard and most major web sites use them. A cookie is a small text file that our site may place on your computer as a tool to remember your preferences.

Our website may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. When you go to other websites from here, we advise you to be aware and read their privacy policy.

Like millions of other websites, Producing Unscripted uses Google Analytics on https://producingunscripted.com.

We do not use it on the members only portion of the site.

Our website uses Google Analytics, a service which transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage.

Google Analytics is software that tracks data about this websites’ visitors (including you).

What does Google Analytics record?

It records information like:

  • The website that brought you here.
  • How long you browse this site for.
  • The computer, tablet, phone, etc. you use.
  • Other information deemed as required by Google for Google Analytics.

What does Producing Unscripted do with Google Analytics data?

The tracking information allows us to better understand the kind of people who come to our site, and which pages/posts/content they read.

This allows us to make better decisions about things like what podcasts to record, what new posts to write, and how to design the site.

Occasionally, Producing Unscripted compiles statistics about the number of visitors this site receives and browsers being used.

None of your personal data is included in this type of reporting.

All of our activity falls within the bounds of the Google Analytics Terms of Service.

Want to opt out of tracking?

You can opt out of Google’s advertising tracking cookie or use a browser plugin to opt out of all Google Analytics tracking software.

What is Google reCAPTCHA

When you fill out a contact form and check the “I am not a Robot” box you are using Google reCAPTCHA. When you check this box, Google is checking to make sure you are a real person.

We use reCAPTCHA provided by Google Inc. (Google) to secure your correspondence and submissions via internet submission forms on this site. This plugin verifies you are a real person in order to prevent certain website functions from being used or abused by spam bots (particularly comments). This plugin query includes the sending of the IP address and may also include other data required by Google for the Google reCAPTCHA service. For this purpose, your input will be communicated to and used by Google. However, your IP address is previously truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states which are party to the agreement on the European Economic Area and is, as such, anonymized. Only in exceptional cases is a full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address provided by reCaptcha from your browser shall not be merged with any other data from Google.

This data collection is subject to the data protection regulations of Google (Google Inc.). For more information about Google’s privacy policy, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy

By using the reCAPTCHA service, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
