Privacy Policy

1Who we are

This website, thegulfsideassemblystory.com, tells the story of Gulfside Assembly and the documentary The Gulfside Assembly Story. It is operated by Gulfside Assembly of Waveland, Mississippi (“Gulfside,” “we,” “us”), with LS3 Studios LLC, which produced the film and designed the site. This policy applies to this website only, not to other websites we link to.

2Information we collect

Information you send us. When you email us, or use the form on our Contact page, we receive whatever you choose to include: usually your name, email address and message. The Contact form does not store anything on this website. It opens your own email app with your message filled in, and nothing is sent until you press send there.

Technical information our host records. Like nearly every website, our hosting provider, Hostinger, automatically keeps server logs when pages are requested. These logs typically include your IP address, browser type, the page requested, the referring page, and the date and time. They are used to deliver pages, keep the site secure and fix problems. We do not use them to identify individual visitors. See Hostinger’s privacy policy.

What we do not collect. Our own pages do not use advertising, analytics or tracking tools, and do not set cookies. Our fonts and images are served from our own website.

3Videos and other services

Some pages offer videos. A video does not load, and its provider receives nothing from your visit, until you press play. When you do, the video plays from the provider’s servers, which receive your IP address and may set cookies needed for playback and security:

• YouTube videos use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Google says views in this mode are not used to personalize your YouTube experience or advertising. See Google’s privacy policy.
• Vimeo videos use Vimeo’s “do not track” setting, which limits the session data and analytics the player collects. Vimeo may still set cookies it considers essential. See Vimeo’s privacy policy.

We also link to other services: Eventbrite for event tickets, Gulfside’s own website at gulfsideassembly.org for sponsorships and donations, Facebook, and Google Maps for directions. When you follow those links, you leave this site, and their own privacy policies apply.

4How we use information

We use the information you send us only to:

• Answer your question or request.
• Arrange screenings, sponsorships, interviews or visits you ask about.
• Consider a reflection or memory you share. We will ask your permission before publishing it, or your name, on this site.
• Keep a record of our correspondence.
• Protect the website and comply with the law.

We do not add you to a mailing list unless you ask us to.

5How we share information

We do not sell, rent or trade personal information. We share it only:

• Between Gulfside and LS3 Studios, when your message is better answered by the other. For example, a film or press question sent to Gulfside may be forwarded to LS3 Studios.
• With service providers that help us run the site and our email, such as our web host and email provider.
• When required by law, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Gulfside, LS3 Studios, our visitors or others.

6How long we keep it

We keep emails for as long as needed to respond and to maintain ordinary records of our work, then delete them when no longer needed. Server logs are kept by our host according to its own retention practices.

7Children’s privacy

This website is meant for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

8Your choices

You can browse this entire website without giving us any personal information. You can also choose not to play the embedded videos, or block cookies in your browser settings. To ask what information we have from you, or to have it corrected or deleted, contact us using the details below.

9Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information you send us. No website or email system is completely secure, so please don’t send sensitive information, such as financial or health details, by email.

10Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle information, we will update this page and the “Last updated” date above.
