The AI International Film Festival (“Festival,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a nonprofit arts organization operated under The AI Project (a 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation registered in the state of California). We celebrate innovation in film, music, and media created with or about artificial intelligence.

Our official website is https://aifilmfest.org

Our contact email is aifilmfestorg@gmail.com.

We collect only the information necessary to operate the Festival and communicate with attendees, filmmakers, and supporters:

• Contact information (name, email, phone number)
   
• Payment details (processed securely by third parties like Eventbrite, FilmFreeway, or PayPal — we do not store credit card numbers)
   
• Film submission data (titles, descriptions, bios, images, and links)
   
• Event participation info (RSVPs, ticket purchases, and attendance records)
   
• Voluntary communications (messages, surveys, or social media comments)
   

Your data is used solely for purposes related to the Festival and its programs:

• Processing submissions and event registrations
   
• Communicating about screenings, awards, and opportunities
   
• Sending updates, newsletters, and invitations (opt-out anytime)
   
• Analyzing anonymized participation data to improve programming
   

We never sell, rent, or share personal data with unrelated third parties.

We retain submission and contact information as long as necessary for legitimate Festival operations, archival purposes, or compliance with nonprofit regulations. You may request deletion of your personal data at any time.

Our website may use cookies and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand traffic and improve user experience. You may disable cookies in your browser settings.

When you register or submit through Eventbrite, FilmFreeway, Vimeo, or other partners, their independent privacy policies apply. We encourage you to review their terms for additional details.

We take reasonable administrative and technical precautions to protect personal data. However, no transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

You may:

• Request a copy of your personal data

  To exercise these rights, contact us at info@aifilmfest.org.
   

Our events are primarily for adults and general audiences. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 16 years of age.

We may update this policy periodically. Any material changes will be posted to aifilmfest.org/privacy.
