The short version: We collect what we need to run your account, send the emails you ask for and keep the site free. We show ads from Google, which use cookies; you can say no to personalized ads. We never sell your information. You can ask us to see, fix or delete it at any time by writing to contact@weareactors.com.
Who we are
We Are Actors (weareactors.com) is run by Make It Happen Production LLC, PO Box 88, New York, NY 10028. In this policy, “we” means that company.
What we collect
- Account: your name, email and password (stored scrambled; we can’t read it). If you sign in with Google, we get your name and email from Google, nothing else.
- What you do in your account: monologues you save to My list, notes you post on monologues (public, under the name you choose), and your Actor’s Week checklist.
- Messages: anything you send through the contact form or by email.
- Night of Scenes: what you send us when you apply. Tickets are sold through Eventbrite, under Eventbrite’s own privacy policy.
- Automatically: pages visited, device, browser and rough location (city level), through cookies and similar tools.
- The cover letter builder runs in your browser. We don’t store the letters you write.
How we use it
To run your account and saved lists, send the emails you signed up for, answer messages, run Night of Scenes, keep the site secure and free of spam, show ads, and see which pages are useful so we can make more of them.
Cookies and advertising
We use Google Analytics and Jetpack Stats to count visits, and Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits here and to other sites. Visitors in the EU, UK and some US states see a consent message first. You can change ad choices anytime at Google’s Ad Settings, or opt out at aboutads.info.
Emails
With a free account you can get the weekly Actor’s Week email, plus occasional news. Every email has an unsubscribe link that works in one click. Account emails (password resets, sign-in) are always sent, because the account needs them.
Who we share it with
We don’t sell or rent your information. We use service providers to run the site: Cloudways (hosting), Amazon Web Services (sending email), Google (analytics, ads, reCAPTCHA), Automattic (Jetpack, Akismet), Wordfence (security) and Eventbrite (Night of Scenes tickets). They handle data only to provide their service. We also share information if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Account data stays until you delete your account. Contact messages are kept for up to two years. Email logs are kept for 14 days. Analytics data follows Google’s retention settings.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct, download or delete your information, or ask us to stop emailing you. Email contact@weareactors.com and we’ll reply within 30 days.
California residents have the right to know, delete and correct, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We don’t sell it, and you can opt out of ad sharing as described above. Visitors in the EU and UK have the same rights under the GDPR, and can complain to their local data authority.
Security
We use HTTPS, a firewall and spam filtering. No website is perfectly secure, so use a password you don’t use anywhere else.
Children
The site is meant for people 13 and older, and accounts are for people 16 and older. If you think a child under 13 has given us information, write to us and we’ll delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we’ll update the date at the top. For big changes, we’ll also email account holders.
