For research and development: We are always looking for ways to make our Product smarter, faster, secure, integrated, and useful to you. We use information about how people use our Product and feedback provided directly to us to troubleshoot and to identify trends, usage, and areas for enhancement of Cinema Intelligence. In some cases, we apply these learnings to improve and develop new features or to better integrate Cinema Intelligence with your ticketing system. We also test and analyze certain new features with some users before rolling the feature out to all users.

To communicate with you about Cinema Intelligence: We use your contact information to send transactional communications via email and within Cinema Intelligence, including responding to your comments, questions and requests, providing customer support, and sending you technical notices, updates, and administrative messages. We also provide tailored communications based on your activity and interactions with us.

For collaboration: You can create content, which may contain information about you, and grant permission to others to see or edit. Some of the collaboration features of Cinema Intelligence display some or all of your profile information to other Product users when you interact with specific content. For example:

We may share your information with these third parties in connection with their services, such as to assist with billing and collections, to provide localized support, and to provide customization.

Links to Third Party Sites: Cinema Intelligence may include links that direct you to other websites or services whose privacy practices may differ from ours.

How long we keep information we collect about you depends on the type of information, as described in further detail below.

We also retain some of your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements, to support business operations, and to continue to develop and improve our Product. Where we retain information for Product improvement and development, we take steps to eliminate information that directly identifies you, and we only use the information to uncover collective insights about the use of our Product, not to specifically analyze personal characteristics about you.

You have certain options when it comes to your information.

You have the right to request a copy of your information, to object to our use of your information (including for marketing purposes), to request the deletion or restriction of your information, or to request your information in a structured, electronic format. Below, we describe the tools and processes for making these requests. You can exercise some of the choices by logging into Cinema Intelligence and using settings available within Cinema Intelligence or your account. You may need to contact your administrator to assist with your requests first.

Your request and choices may be limited in certain cases: for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal information about another person.

Please note, however, that we may need to retain certain information for historical data tracking purposes.

Request information processing: You can request that we delete your User and attached information. When you gave us consent to use your information for a limited purpose, you can contact us to withdraw that consent, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place at the time. You can also unsubscribe from our automated e-mails and in-app messages. When you make such requests, we may need time to investigate and facilitate your request.

Unsubscribing: You may unsubscribe from receiving general communications from us by using the unsubscribe link within each email, or by contacting us to have your contact information removed from our marketing email list or database.

At Cinema Intelligence, we are committed to delivering a highly available and quality service. Our infrastructure team is following a set of DevOps principles that have proven successful for the past years in achieving these goals.

We have implemented a full backup Infrastructure as core philosophy, by decoupling the service required configuration from the virtual infrastructure.

Daily backups of our data sources start at around 12:00 AM CET, thus ensuring the availability of the data from the day before. Although it takes longer to finish and requires more storage, we only use full backups. This is to ensure a minimal time to restore data.

All backups are stored in two separate datacenter locations for redundancy (primary in the Nederland and secondary in Ireland). Each of these locations contain three copies of data, ensuring an availability of 99.95% / site for the backup files.

For more information on this, you can check the SLA for Microsoft’s Azure Storage Account (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/storage/v1_2/)

Backups of the data sources are traced via our primary monitoring interface.

We use Azure Security Center to monitor access to the backup storage accounts. The IT department has access to both locations, while the Development team has read access only to the primary location.

We also have a disaster recovery policy designed with the same infrastructure as core philosophy. We redeploy on weekly basis the latest version of Cinema Intelligence using the customer’s latest data backup. This ensures the quality of the application before it reaches production and that the deployment process is successful. Also, with this procedure, we simulate what would happen in case of a disaster and how fast we can recover.

There are multiple steps in the disaster recovery procedure, depending on the location of the issue:

Cinema Intelligence application is web-based solution accessible using a internet browser.

Access to this URL can be restricted to a VPN, corporate network or other restrictions based on firewall configuration.

We deploy industry standard security technologies to ensure only authorized users can access the application.

These procedures include:

Measures are taken to prevent unauthorized access to IT systems.

These include the following technical and organizational measures for user identification and authentication:

Access to IT systems subject to approval from HR management and IT system administrators. It is strictly restricted to our employees and governed by our internal procedure on access to customer cloud environment.
