You retain ownership of the original creative content you submit to Cinelaya, subject to the rights of any other authors, collaborators, or rights holders.

We process and store your content to provide the Services, including saving projects, synchronizing information, enabling collaboration, displaying your content to authorized project members, and providing features you choose to use.

Cinelaya does not claim ownership of your screenplay, script, story, characters, production materials, or other original creative work merely because you create, upload, or store it using Cinelaya.

Access to collaborative content depends on project permissions. If you share a project with other users, those users may be able to view, edit, copy, download, or otherwise interact with the content according to the features and permissions available within Cinelaya.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your screenplay or creative projects.

We may disclose personal information in the following circumstances:

Service Providers

We may use third-party providers to help operate Cinelaya, including providers of cloud hosting and storage, authentication, email communications, payment processing, analytics, diagnostics, customer support, and security.

These providers may process information on our behalf as necessary to perform their services.

Project Collaborators

If you join or create a collaborative project, information and content associated with that project may be shared with authorized project members.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is required to comply with applicable law, legal process, or governmental requests; protect the rights, property, or safety of Cinelaya, our users, or others; investigate fraud or security incidents; or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Business Transfers

If Cinelaya is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or part of its business or assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

With Your Direction or Consent

We may disclose information when you instruct us to do so or otherwise provide your consent.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain your account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the security and integrity of Cinelaya.

Project content may generally be retained while your account or project remains active.

If you delete content or request account deletion, some information may remain temporarily in backups or archives before being removed through our normal deletion processes. We may also retain information where required by law or necessary for legitimate legal, fraud-prevention, security, or dispute-resolution purposes.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction.

However, no online service, storage system, or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and using appropriate security practices when sharing projects with collaborators.

If you believe your Cinelaya account has been compromised, please contact us promptly.

7. International Data Transfers

Cinelaya and its service providers may process or store information in countries other than the country in which you reside.

Where required by applicable data protection laws, we take appropriate measures designed to provide adequate protection for personal information transferred internationally.
