SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

We follow appropriate security procedures in the storage and disclosure of your information so as to prevent unauthorised access by third parties. We also require those parties to whom we transfer personal information to comply with the same. However, unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. So, we cannot ensure the security of your information transmitted by you to us via the internet. Any such transmission is at your own risk and you acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible for any unauthorised use, distribution, damage or destruction of your information, except to the extent we are required to accept such responsibility by the Act. Once we have received your information we will use security procedures and features to prevent unauthorised access to it.

SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDELINES

We trust users to be responsible, and the huge majority of people who post on our channels respect that trust. The Magic Lantern Cinema may remove any content that it considers to be unlawful (or which promotes unlawful conduct) or which it deems inappropriate, including but not limited to:​

• Obscene, offensive, hateful or inflammatory comments or comments that incite or condone violence against individuals or groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, nationality, or sexual orientation/gender identity, or whose primary purpose is inciting hatred on the basis of these core characteristics
• Threatening or abusive content or content that invades another's privacy, or which harasses or causes annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety
• Content showing harmful or dangerous acts
• Pornography or sexually explicit content
• Spam, scams, misleading content or metadata
• Violent or graphic content

Some comments might offend you but won't necessarily violate our guidelines. We recognise that people think, feel and react in different ways. Assessing content may involve a delicate balancing act and our assessment may not please everyone all of the time.
