Where we store your personal data

Our Services are global, and your information (including personal data) may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations or where we engage service providers, and we may transfer your information to countries outside of your country of residence, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country of residence.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

In particular, this means that your personal data will only be transferred to a country that provides an adequate level of protection (for example, where the European Commission has determined that a country provides an adequate level of protection) or where the recipient is bound by standard contractual clauses according to conditions provided by the European Commission (“Standard Contractual Clauses”).

Our Site and Services are accessible via the internet and may potentially be accessed by anyone around the world. Other Users may access the Site or Services from outside the EEA.

This means that where you chose to post your data on our Site or within the Services, it could be accessed from anywhere around the world and therefore a transfer of your data outside of the EEA may be deemed to have occurred. You consent to such transfer of your data for and by way of this purpose.

Protection of your information

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of the Site or Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share any password with anyone.

Transmissions within Remote Filming are encrypted and secure.

Unfortunately, transmissions of information via the Internet to Remote Filming, may not be completely secure. Although we will endeavour to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Site or the Services.

Any transmission is at your own risk.

Once we have received your information, we do use strict procedures and security features in the effort to prevent unauthorized access.

Our Site and Services may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of others. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies.

Please check these policies should you choose to submit any personal data to these websites.

Data retention

We retain personal data for as long as necessary for the relevant activity for which it was provided or collected.

This will be for as long as we provide access to the Site or Services to you, your account with us remains open or any period set out in any relevant contract you have with us. However, we may keep some data after your account is closed or you cease using the Site or Services for the purposes set out below.

We may retain personal data where reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements with you. If you set up an account with us, we will retain de-personalised information after that account has been closed.

You have a right to object to our use of your personal information, for instance when the legal base for processing is based on one of our legitimate interests. If you inform us that you do not longer wish us to process your personal information or to be approached, Remote Filming will move your personal information to a separate file. Your personal information will no longer be used for the specified purposes, unless our legitimate interest, for example safety & security, outweighs your right to objection.

If you think we have infringed your privacy rights, you can lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. You can lodge your complaint in particular in the country where you live, your place of work or place where you believe we infringed your right(s).

If you withdraw your consent, we will no longer process the personal information which we’ve received based on your consent.

Services “as is”

We strive to provide great Services, but there are certain things that we can’t guarantee.

To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Remote Filming and its Affiliates, Suppliers and Distributors make no warranties either express or implied, about the services.

The services are provided “as is”.

We also disclaim any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Some places don’t allow the disclaimers in this paragraph, so they may not apply to you.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

We may revise our Privacy Policy from time to time to better reflect:

a. changes to the law,

b. new regulatory requirements, or

c. improvements or enhancements made to our Services.

If an update affects your use of the Services or your legal rights as a User of our Services, we’ll notify you prior to the update’s effective date by sending an email to the email address associated with your account or on our website or via an in-product notification. These updated terms will be effective no less than 30 days from when we notify you.

If you don’t agree to the updates we make, please cancel your account and/or your bookings before they become effective. Where applicable, we’ll offer you a pro rata refund based on the amounts you have prepaid for Services and your account/booking cancellation date. By continuing to use or access the Services after the updates come into effect, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.

This Privacy Policy was last updated on 1 August 2021 and replaces any other Privacy Policy previously applicable from this date.

Limitation of Liability

We don’t exclude or limit our liability to you where it would be illegal to do so.

This includes any liability for Remote Filming or its Affiliates’ fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation in providing our Services.

In countries were the following types of exclusion aren’t allowed, we’re responsible to you only for losses and damages that are reasonably foreseeable as a result of our failure to use reasonable care and skill or our breach of our contract with you. This paragraph doesn’t affect Consumer Rights that can’t be waived or limited by any contract or agreement.

In countries where exclusions or limitations are allowed, Remote Filming, its Affiliates, Suppliers or Distributors won’t be liable for:

i. Any indirect, special, incidental, punitive exemplary or consequential damages, or

ii. Any loss of use, data, business, or profits, regardless of legal theory

These exclusions or limitations will apply regardless of whether or not Remote Filming or any of its Affiliates have been warned of the possibility of such damages.

If you use the Services for any commercial, business or re-sale purposes, Remote Filming or any of its Affiliates, Suppliers or Distributors will have no liability for any loss or profit or loss of business, business interruption or loss of business opportunity.

Remote Filming and its Affiliates are not responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline of any Users of the Services.

Other than for the types of liability we cannot limit by Law, as described in this section, we limit our liability to you to the greater of $500 USD or 100% of any amount you have paid for the Remote Filming Services you are using at the time of the alleged problem.

Resolving Disputes

Let’s try to sort things out first.

We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Remote Filming, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting legal@remotefilming.com

We’ll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email in the first instance. If a dispute is not resolved within 21 days of submission, you or Remote Filming may bring a formal proceeding.

Forum for Disputes

You and Remote Filming agree that any legal proceeding to resolve claims relating to these Terms or the Services will be brought in Courts of England and Wales, subject to the mandatory arbitration provisions below. Remote Filming and you consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in such courts. If you reside in a country (for example, a member state of the European Union) with laws that give consumers the right to bring disputes in their local courts, this paragraph doesn’t affect those requirements.

But we both agree t all we can to come to an agreement we are both content with and that that agreement will be binding on us both.

We can also opt to arbitrate the dispute with an independent arbitrator we are both happy with. Some countries. Like the USA, have a formal process for this arbitration and such guidelines are a useful approach to dispute resolution.

No class actions

You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private lawyer general actions and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed.

Controlling Law

These Terms will be governed by The Courts of England and Wales. However, some countries (including those in the European Union) have laws that require agreements to be governed by the local laws of the consumer’s country. This paragraph doesn’t override those laws.

Entire Agreement

These Terms represent the whole agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter of these Terms and supersede and replace any other prior or contemporaneous agreements, or terms and conditions applicable to the subject matter of these Terms. These Terms create no third-party beneficiary rights.

Waiver, Severability & Assignment

Remote Filming’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms, and any such attempt will be void. Dropbox may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in the interest of any business associated with the Services.
