This Privacy Policy outlines how Paramount Pictures Australia Pty Ltd ("Paramount," "we," "our," or "us") collects, stores, uses, and discloses personal information in compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.

TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED

Paramount collects and holds the following types of personal information:

  • Name

  • Age

  • Contact details (e.g., postal address, email address, telephone number(s))

  • Cinema, booking, personal, and business information (collected specifically through the Parasales Dashboard)

HOW WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION

We primarily collect personal information directly from you when you register and provide information through our website (www.parasales.net) and the Parasales Dashboard. This information is necessary for registration, to facilitate film bookings, to share information between film distributors and cinemas, and to enhance your experience on our platforms. You can unregister at any time by contacting us at the address provided below.

We also collect personal information when you provide details via email or phone communication. Additionally, information may be collected through other means, such as participating in competitions on social networking websites.

USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Information collected may be used to:

  • Facilitate cinema bookings, manage business-to-business sales, and maintain accurate business records via the Parasales Dashboard.

  • Send you information about our business, films, or other relevant content (e.g., newsletters, competition details, special offers, promotions, and latest releases).

  • Provide you with information about products or services from third-party business partners, with your consent.

Paramount will not disclose your personal information to external parties unless directly related to our activities. For instance, if you win a competition, we may share your information with a third party for prize delivery, ensuring they handle your information securely and appropriately.

If you no longer wish to receive information from us, please contact us at the address provided below.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION & THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

We will not pass your information to third parties without your consent, except when necessary to carry out specific services for us (e.g., prize delivery for competition winners). In such cases, we ensure third parties handle your information securely and only retain it for the necessary duration.

To operate the Parasales Dashboard effectively, we utilize the following third-party services, which may process, host, or interact with the information collected:

  • Firebase: The backend platform powering the application, utilized for secure authentication, database management, and hosting.

  • Twilio & SendGrid: Utilized for SMS and email communications between Paramount and our cinema/business partners.

  • Google Gemini AI (via Genkit): Powers artificial intelligence and automated features within the dashboard.

  • Australian Business Register (ABR) API: Used for verifying and looking up Australian Business Numbers (ABN) to ensure accurate business data.

  • Google Maps API: Used for mapping and location services regarding cinema locations.

  • The Movie Database (TMDB): Used for film-related data (synopses, cast/crew, posters). (Note: This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB).

  • Other Technical Providers: We also utilize Next.js, shadcn/ui, Radix UI, Tailwind CSS, Recharts, Multiavatar, and Placeholder Images (placehold.co) for application framework, styling, user interface components, and data visualization.

In the event of a business sale, your information may be transferred to the new owner. Paramount does not disclose personal information to overseas recipients outside of the standard secure cloud-hosting regions utilized by the third-party platforms listed above.

SECURITY

We have implemented measures to secure all personally identifiable and business information collected, including limiting access via Firestore permission rules, utilizing audit logs for real-time system events, and using electronic security systems. You can assist by keeping your passwords confidential and logging out of our websites and the Dashboard properly.

Personal information will be destroyed when no longer needed for its original purpose.
