Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

“Real Cinema Ghar”, “RCG”, “we” and “us” refer to the operator of realcinemaghar.com. You can reach us about privacy matters through our contact form.

2. Information we collect today

Contact form

When you use the contact form we collect your name, email address, subject, chosen category, your message and the time you sent it. The message is delivered to our team by email.

RCG Jumma newsletter

When you subscribe to RCG Jumma from the homepage we collect and store:

• your email address;
• a record that you gave consent, and the date and time you gave it;
• the newsletter name (RCG Jumma) and where you signed up (the homepage);
• your subscription status and when your welcome email was sent.

Subscribing is optional. The consent box is never pre-ticked, and we do not subscribe you without it. We do not collect your name for the newsletter.

Technical information

Like any website, our hosting and network provider (Cloudflare) processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. We also use Google Analytics, described in section 6.

3. How we use your information

• to read and respond to your contact-form message;
• to send you a welcome email when you subscribe to RCG Jumma, and to send the newsletter;
• to keep the site secure, prevent spam and fix problems;
• with your consent, to understand how the site is used (Google Analytics) so we can improve it;
• to meet legal obligations.

Where the law requires a lawful basis, we rely on your consent for the newsletter and for analytics cookies, and on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and keeping the site secure for the contact form and technical data.

4. Emails we send, and internal copies

• Contact messages are sent by email to an RCG mailbox hosted by Google (Gmail). Your email address is set as the reply address so we can respond to you directly.
• Welcome emails to newsletter subscribers are also copied (BCC) to that same RCG mailbox, so that we have a record that the email was sent. You will not see this copy.
• Emails are delivered through a third-party email delivery service acting on our behalf.

Unsubscribing: our emails to RCG Jumma subscribers include a personal unsubscribe link. It opens a page on our site where you confirm with one click. You can also use the contact form and choose “Newsletter”. When you unsubscribe, we stop sending RCG Jumma to you and mark your record as unsubscribed (see section 9).

5. Cookies and similar technologies

Google Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them in our cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time using “Cookie settings” in the site footer. We remember your choice in your browser’s local storage for 12 months. We do not set advertising or preference cookies. Our Cookie Policy lists the details.

6. Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, on the public site (not in our admin area). It uses Google’s Consent Mode: until you accept analytics cookies, no analytics cookies are set and Google receives only basic, cookieless signals, such as that a page was viewed, your browser type and your consent choice. If you accept, Google Analytics also uses cookies to recognise repeat visits from your browser and to report pages viewed, how you arrived, device and browser type and approximate location. Google says Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. We see this information only in aggregate reports. We tell Google that advertising storage, ad user data and ad personalisation are not permitted.

Advertising and affiliate links (planned)

We may in future use display advertising (for example Google AdSense) and affiliate links. Neither is active today. Before either is introduced we will update this policy and the Cookie Policy and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent first. Affiliate and sponsored content will always be labelled.

7. Who we share information with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site:

• Cloudflare — hosting, network security and the database where newsletter records are stored;
• Google — the Gmail mailbox that receives contact messages and welcome-email copies, and Google Analytics (as described in section 6);
• an email delivery service that sends our transactional emails.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and users. Links to other websites and to social platforms are governed by those third parties’ own privacy policies.

8. International transfers

Our providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where that happens, we rely on the safeguards those providers make available.

9. How long we keep information

• Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and for reasonable record-keeping afterwards.
• Newsletter records are kept while you remain subscribed. When you unsubscribe, we keep your email address with an “unsubscribed” status and the date, so we can honour your choice and not email you again. If you want the record deleted entirely, ask us through the contact form and we will delete it, except where we must keep limited information to meet legal obligations.
• Analytics data is kept by Google for the retention period configured in our Google Analytics account (Google’s default for event-level data is 2 months).

10. Security

We use HTTPS, limit who can access the data we hold, and keep credentials out of our source code. No online service is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, withdraw consent at any time, and object to or restrict certain uses. To exercise these rights, or to ask a privacy question, use our contact form. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before you withdrew it.

12. Children

Real Cinema Ghar is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site develops. The “last updated” date above shows when it last changed. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
