You can read everything on The Lobby Card without signing up for anything. There are no accounts, no newsletter, no comments, no watchlists and no lead forms. This page explains what is still recorded when you visit or write to the site, why, and what you can ask for. “The site operators” means whoever runs The Lobby Card.

The contact form

The only place on the site where you type something that is stored is the form on the contact page. What you enter there — such as your name, the contact detail the form asks for and your message — is used only to read and reply to your message, and to fix an article if you have reported an error. Along with the message, some technical details are recorded automatically, such as your IP address, browser and device type, and the page you came from; these are used to filter spam and abuse.

Contact details are never sold, never passed to advertisers, studios, distributors or dealers, and never added to a mailing list. Please do not include information the message does not need, such as identity numbers, payment details or other people’s personal information.

Server logs

Like almost every website, the web server records basic technical information about each request: IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time of the request. These logs are used to keep the site secure and running, and to diagnose problems. Searches typed into the site’s search box are used to show results and are not kept as a list. The site operators do not build a profile of what you read.

Cookies

The site runs on WordPress, which may set a small number of essential cookies needed for the site to work — for example, cookies used only when someone logs in to the dashboard to manage the site. Readers do not need to log in, and the site sets no advertising or tracking cookies. There are no social-media pixels, no ads and no embedded videos or maps from other sites. If the site offers a display preference such as a dark mode, that choice is kept only in your own browser’s local storage and is never sent to the server.

Cloudflare

The site is delivered through Cloudflare, a content delivery and security service, so every request to the site passes through it. Cloudflare may set a strictly technical cookie when it needs to tell a real visitor apart from malicious traffic.

The site also uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, a measurement script that collects aggregate visit statistics — which page was opened, from which country, in which browser, and how quickly it loaded. It does not use cookies and does not follow you from site to site. These numbers help show which articles are read and how fast the site loads; they are not used for advertising.

Fonts

The typefaces used on the site are self-hosted and load from the site’s own server. Google Fonts is not used, so reading an article does not send a request to Google’s font service.

What the information is used for

To reply to messages, correct articles, protect the site against spam, overload and abuse, and meet obligations under applicable law. Information is disclosed to authorities only where the law requires it.

Where it is kept, and for how long

Contact messages are stored in the site’s administration system, which readers cannot see, and are processed by the hosting and infrastructure providers that run the site, only for that purpose. Messages are kept as long as they are needed to handle the request and are deleted manually; you can ask for yours to be deleted at any time. Connections to the site are encrypted and access to its systems is restricted, but no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your choices

Writing to the site is entirely voluntary. You can ask to see what is stored about you, to correct it or to delete it, as provided by applicable law, by writing through the contact page with enough detail (the name you used and the approximate date) to find your message.

Children

The site is a general-interest film magazine. It does not ask readers for personal information and does not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes

If anything about what the site collects changes, this page will be updated along with the date at the top. The general rules for using the site are in the terms of use.
