1. Introduction
Apple Pie Films, LLC (“we,” “us”) operates connected TV apps and websites, including the Movies Plus TV Network (including apps distributed on Roku and Amazon Fire TV) and related services and brands (including “Movies Plus,” “The Movie Network,” “Badass TV,” “ArtHouse Movies,” “Film Riot aka Metro Film Fest,” “The Screening Room,” and “IFC (the USA cooperative and collaborative)”), as well as related websites such as MetroFilmFestival.com, MoviesPlusTV.com, and MartianPoop.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our TV apps and our websites.
Information we collect in the TV apps
A) Information you voluntarily provide Our TV apps generally do not provide a way for you to enter personal information. To the extent you contact us through other channels (such as email) or submit information through website features, that information is handled under the Website Privacy section below. B) Automatically collected technical information When you use our TV apps, we and the app/platform ecosystem may receive technical data needed to operate the app and understand performance and advertising delivery. This may include (depending on the platform and your device/app settings): device and app identifiers used for technical operation, app version and device type, diagnostic/performance data and usage events (e.g., app opens, screens viewed), advertising-related technical information and ad interaction events (e.g., that an ad was shown or interacted with, where available), approximate region or country derived from IP where available to the platform. Directly identifying personal information (such as your name or email address) is not expected to be collected through normal TV app use.
Analytics and advertising partners (SDKs)
We may use analytics and advertising-related SDKs and services on our TV apps. These providers may collect and process technical information to provide analytics, measure performance, and deliver and evaluate advertisements. We do not provide directly identifying personal information (such as your name or email address) to advertising or analytics providers through the TV app experience. However, advertising/analytics providers may collect their own technical information under their own privacy practices.
Data Retention TV-Apps / Roku Channels
Technical information collected in connection with TV app operation, analytics, and advertising may be retained for as long as needed for these purposes, and retention periods may vary by data type and by third-party providers’ policies.
Children’s Privacy
Our TV apps are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect directly identifying personal information from children through the TV app experience. As in any case, you may always email us for more information or any concern.
3. Website Privacy (MetroFilmFestival.com and related MoviesPlusTV.com and MartianPoop.com websites)
2.1 Information you voluntarily provide on our websites When you submit information through our websites (for example, via an email address or other submission-related features), we may collect and use that information to respond to you and provide the requested service. 2.2 Submissions / user-provided media (websites) In certain situations, our websites may collect submission-related media or information (for example, film-submission information and user-provided media). We use this information to support the submission feature and related functionality. We may retain this information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the submission feature, administer requests, and maintain safety and security. 2.3 Cookies, tracking, and similar technologies (websites) Our websites may use cookies or similar technologies for website functionality, security, and performance/analytics. Our websites may also include advertisements and third-party services. Those third parties may use their own cookies or similar technologies to collect and process technical information according to their own privacy practices.
2.4 External links and embedded services (websites) Our websites may contain links to third-party websites and may include embedded third-party services (including, for example, video players). Those third parties may have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. 2.5 Data retention (websites) We retain information as needed to operate the websites, respond to requests, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations. Retention periods may vary by data type and third-party practices. 3) Security We take reasonable technical and administrative measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Connected TV environments and third-party services may have their own security practices.
