Consent for Angel’s Sharing of Your Personal Usage Data

You consent to our sharing of your Personal Usage Data to third parties under the following circumstances:

  • Third Parties That You Authorize. We may share your Personal Usage Data in accordance with consent given at the time a disclosure is sought. We and third parties may offer you the ability to share your Personal Usage Data with others, such as by publishing it to social media. If you do so, you consent to that sharing.
  • Our Service Providers and Content Suppliers. We may use third parties engaged as contractors, licensors, or services providers to help us operate and improve the Service, such as for purposes of content recognition; order fulfillment; request processing; recommendation analysis; payment and transaction processing services; information technology and telecommunication services; hosting services; accounting, legal, collections, and consulting services; providing content, delivering media and distribution services; or account management, or other business services. In the course of providing such services, these third parties may have access to, or be given, some or all of your Personal Usage Data. Including, but not limited to, service providers such Braze, Segment and Bugsnag.
    • As the data controller, Angel Studios implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data and respond to data subject access requests. Data controllers may establish contracts with entities (data processors) that process personal data for their established purposes (in this case, essential processing, analytics, and marketing).
    • Data processors are multi-tenant platforms, contractually obligated to implement security and privacy safeguards and respond to data subject access requests per the agreements made with the data controller. These data processors may also use sub-processors to perform their functions in compliance with their security and compliance agreements.
  • In Connection with a Transaction or Business Reorganization. If Angel transfers ownership of all or part of its business, or sells or transfers assets relating to the Angel Service, or is otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, or in a bankruptcy or similar reorganization proceeding, Angel may share your Personal Usage Data as part of that transaction or proceeding (including during diligence and negotiation).
  • Advertisers and Ad Networks. To help you get more relevant interest-based ads, we may share your Personal Usage Data with third party advertisers and third parties that facilitate the delivery of ads. For more information on advertising and what choices you may have regarding it, see our Privacy Policy.
  • Other Third Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Angel may disclose your Personal Usage Data (subject to any applicable legal requirements): to law enforcement pursuant to a warrant, subpoena, or a court order; in a civil proceeding, pursuant to a subpoena or court order; to comply with a request for cooperation by a government entity; to protect and/or enforce our rights or the rights or safety of third parties; to deter and prevent fraud or crime; for Angel’s risk management purposes; to comply with our obligations and commitments regarding the privacy and security of your information; to prevent unauthorized, improper or illegal activities on the Service; to enforce our terms and rules; as otherwise permitted under our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use; and/or as specifically disclosed when we collected the information.

For additional information on how and to whom we share information, see our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

Consent to Sharing of Your Protected Video Info

Some of your Personal Usage Data may be subject to the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (“VPPA”) and similar state laws (“Protected Video Info”). You acknowledge that your consent herein includes giving Angel permission to collect, retain, use, and disclose your Protected Video Info as provided in this Video Privacy Policy and Consent and the Angel Privacy Policy. For Protected Video Info governed as “personally identifiable information” under the VPPA, your consent herein to our sharing of that “personally identifiable information” (defined as “information which identifies a person as having requested or obtained specific video materials or services….”) expires two (2) years after it is given; however, not all types of sharing require your consent. To the extent required by applicable law, you may at any time withdraw your consent regarding Protected Video Info by contacting us at privacy@angel.com and stating that you desire to terminate your Protected Video Info consent. This will not affect sharing where consent is not required. The expiration or termination of your Protected Video Info consent may result in the termination of your ability to continue to use the Service, and only limits our ability to continue to use and share your Personal Usage Data to the extent required by applicable law. Any renewed use of the Services after termination or expiration is a new consent. If we obtain new consent from you after the expiration of the two (2) year period, this period may be extended for additional two (2) year periods each time we obtain new consent from you.

By agreeing to this Content Privacy Policy and Consent, you are consenting to our sharing of your Protected Video Info, including what videos were watched and what video programming was otherwise interacted with, on the Device(s) on which the Service has been activated or accessed. Sharing this information will help Angel to provide superior service and allows you to take full advantage of the features of the Angel service.
