At Insight Archive Lab, we take your privacy and the integrity of our data seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you engage with our platforms, consulting services, or programs, including but not limited to joining the Critics Circle, subscribing to our research updates, or providing narrative feedback.

3. Sharing Your Information
We disclose information only as necessary to fulfill our strategic mission:
Creators and Organizations: We share anonymized audit data and critical feedback with the creators who commission our services. Your personal identifiers (Full Name, Email) are never shared with creators without explicit consent.
Sponsors and Institutional Partners: Aggregated, non-identifiable data may be shared with funding bodies or partners to demonstrate market reach and project impact.
Third-Party Service Providers: We use secure vendors for data hosting and analytics, ensuring they adhere to strict confidentiality protocols.
4. Data Security
We employ industry-standard technical and organizational measures to safeguard your data. As a consulting firm, we prioritize the confidentiality of the intellectual property (scripts/scores) you audit, as well as your personal profile.
5. Your Rights
In compliance with applicable data protection laws (including PIPEDA in Canada), you hold the following rights:
Access & Rectification: The right to view or update your critic profile at any time.
Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): The right to request the deletion of your profile from our active database.

6. Retention of Information
We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, including the long-term validation of narrative trends. To ensure data accuracy, we periodically review our database. If a profile remains inactive for a period exceeding 60 months, we reserve the right to securely dispose of personal identifiers or convert the data into an anonymized format for ongoing statistical research.
7. Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to modify this policy to reflect shifts in regulatory requirements or Lab methodology. Changes will be reflected in the “Effective Date” above.
