The Irish Film Institute acts as a processor of data for the IFI International platform. (IFI) is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. This Privacy Policy explains how we use the information
we collect about you, how you can instruct us if you prefer to limit the use of that information and procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy.
We use the information we collect about you to help efficiently administer our business and the services we provide to you in accordance with Irish Law and the Data Protection Acts 1988, 2003 and 2018.
We take privacy seriously and endeavour to be as open as possible in terms of how your information is used.
What information do we collect and how do we use it?
IFI International
If you use IFI International, we may collect and use details regarding your usage (e.g. what content was viewed and duration of the session session) to generate statistical reports, such as to see what content is popular or to look at ways to improve our service.
When you opt-in to hear more about the IFI International, we may also use this information to send you IFI International e-newsletters, promotional announcements, surveys and other information.
We may also verify the location of your device while you are using the platform.
External web sites

or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.
