SCDG Edify Productions, Inc. and our affiliates, successors, and assigns (collectively, "SCDG," also referred to as "we," "us," and "our") are committed to ensuring that we act in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws when we collect and use information provided to us or information about visitors to our website. This Privacy and Cookie Policy ("Policy") applies to your use of any of our services, our website and affiliated websites (including without limitation merryandbright.movie), or as a result of your relationship with us or to one or more of its officers, directors, employees or contractors, or to any information collected from third parties (collectively, "Website"). The Policy also applies to our marketing and communications activities and any information we collect from you, or use, in conjunction with such activities.
This Policy explains the types of information we collect, the purposes of collecting and processing that information, the legal basis for processing that information, how we may update, manage, export, use, disclose, share, safeguard and delete that information. This Policy describes the measures we take to protect the security of the information and the rights that you have as a data subject with regard to this information. We also tell you how you can reach us to update your contact information, remove your name from our mailing lists, or get answers to questions you may have about our privacy practices.
Please read this Policy carefully. By accessing our Website or by continuing to interact with us, you acknowledge that you have read the following this Policy and you accept all such terms and conditions of this Policy and acknowledge the practices described in this Policy.
This Policy may be updated periodically. We may modify this Policy at any time in our sole discretion by posting a revised version on this page. If we intend to further process your personal data for a purpose other than that for which the personal data were collected, prior to that further processing, we will provide you with information about that other purpose and with additional information necessary to ensure fair and transparent processing.
General traffic, site usage, browser information, length-of-stay information, and location data is collected and stored in log files. This type of information is collected and shared on an anonymous, aggregated basis meaning that we do not connect this information to your name or other personal information.
We collect all or some of the following personal information that you voluntarily provide to us:
Alerts and Announcements: We use your contact information to provide you with updates and upcoming events. We always give you the opportunity to opt-out of these communications.
Contact Us Form: When you are interested in speaking to us, you are directed to a contact form on our website that asks for basic information on how to contact you, and what your matter is concerning. We use this information to contact you regarding our services or events that we feel may be of interest to you.
Other Requests: When you report a problem with our website or services we will collect contact information along with a description of your problem. When you contact us via our email addresses, we will collect your contact information and any information you include in your email.
We process your information for the legitimate interest of communicating with clients, prospective clients, prospective employees, fans, and other users about our services and our events and publications. Processing your information for the purposes described is necessary for us to do what we do. When we use your information, we conduct a balancing test based on the legitimate interest, necessity of processing your information, and how such processing impacts you.
If you have any questions or concerns with us processing your information for this legitimate interest, please email us at merryandbright2025@gmail.com.
We will ask for your consent before using your information for a purpose that extends beyond what you may reasonably expect from a production company and that has a more significant privacy impact.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including website development and operation, preparing marketing materials, sending postal mail or email, analyzing website use, job applications, processing payments and processing data. We may process payments through a third party credit card processor. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are contractually prohibited from using that information for any other reason.
We also may disclose your information in special cases. For example, when we believe that we must disclose information to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Disclaimer, or may be causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, other website users or clients, or anyone else who may be harmed by such activities. We may disclose visitor information when subpoenaed, if ordered or otherwise required by a court of law, arbitrator, or other similar proceeding or the rules governing such a proceeding, for government investigations, with government agencies if required by law, and when we otherwise believe in good faith that any applicable law requires it.
We may combine with other firms or film industry companies. In such transactions, confidential information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In the event of such a transaction, client and site visitor information may be one of the transferred assets and may be disclosed in connection with negotiations relating to a proposed transaction. In such case, the transferred information may become subject to a different privacy policy.

We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an unauthorized way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
We keep your information only so long as we need it to provide the service you have requested of us (e-alerts, event information, etc.) and fulfill the purposes described in this Policy. When we no longer need to use your information for the purpose we collected it and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal obligations, we will either remove it from our systems or depersonalize it so that we cannot identify you.

We do not knowingly solicit personal information online from, or market online to, children under the age of 13. If we obtain actual knowledge that any information we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 18, we will delete the information.
