This Privacy Policy explains how Daniel Maze, providing the True Media Capital service through DanielMaze.com, collects, uses, stores and protects personal data submitted through the True Media Capital website and related forms.
True Media Capital is an investor education and film finance service provided by Daniel Maze through DanielMaze.com. True Media Capital is not currently a separate company or legal entity.
For privacy-related questions or requests, visitors should use the privacy request form available here:
1. Who is responsible for your data
For the purposes of applicable data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation, Daniel Maze acts as the data controller for personal data collected through this website, unless another legal entity is expressly identified in writing.
This means that Daniel Maze determines why and how personal data is processed.
2. What personal data we collect
We may collect personal data when a visitor:
- completes an inquiry form
- completes the Investor Assessment
- requests an investor briefing
- subscribes to investor updates
- communicates through the website
- interacts with website analytics or security tools, where enabled
The personal data collected may include:
- name
- email address
- country
- investor type
- estimated investment range
- inquiry details
- message content
- Investor Assessment answers
- Investor Assessment score and profile
- communication preferences
- technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information and website usage data, where applicable
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data through this website.
Visitors should not submit sensitive personal data unless specifically requested and necessary.
3. Why we process personal data
We process personal data for the following purposes:
- to review and respond to inquiries
- to provide requested information or investor briefings
- to operate the Investor Assessment
- to record the result of an Investor Assessment where the user submits a follow-up request
- to manage investor education communications where the user has opted in
- to improve the website and user experience
- to protect the website from spam, misuse, fraud or security threats
- to maintain basic business and communication records
- to comply with legal, regulatory or administrative obligations
4. Legal basis for processing
We process personal data only where there is a lawful basis to do so.
Depending on the context, the lawful basis may include:
Consent:
Where a visitor actively opts in to receive investor updates or other communications.
Legitimate interests:
Where data is processed to respond to inquiries, operate the website, protect the website from misuse, maintain basic business records and understand how visitors use the site, provided these interests are not overridden by the visitor's rights and freedoms.
Pre-contractual steps:
Where a visitor requests information about possible services, briefings or opportunities and the data is needed to respond.
Legal obligation:
Where processing is necessary to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
5. Investor Assessment data
The Investor Assessment is an educational assessment. It is not investment advice, not a suitability assessment and not an offer to invest.
If a visitor completes the Investor Assessment without submitting a follow-up form, their responses should not be used for direct contact unless technically necessary for the tool to function.
If a visitor submits a follow-up form after receiving a result, we may store their answers, score, profile and contact details so the inquiry can be reviewed and answered in a relevant way.
6. Marketing and investor updates
Investor updates, newsletters or marketing communications should only be sent where the visitor has given separate consent or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.
The checkbox for investor updates must be optional, separate from the inquiry consent and not pre-selected.
Visitors may unsubscribe from investor updates at any time.
7. Who we share personal data with
We do not sell personal data.
We may share personal data with trusted service providers only where necessary for the operation of the website and related services.
These may include:
- website hosting providers
- form and database providers
- email delivery providers
- spam protection providers
- analytics providers, where enabled
- professional advisors, where necessary
- authorities or regulators, where legally required
Service providers must process personal data only in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection obligations.
8. International transfers
Some service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards should be used where required by law, such as adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses or other recognized transfer mechanisms.
9. How long we keep personal data
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Use the following retention rules:
- Inquiry form data: up to 24 months after the last interaction, unless a longer period is required for legal or business reasons.
- Investor Assessment submissions linked to an inquiry: up to 24 months after the last interaction.
- Investor update subscriptions: until consent is withdrawn or the contact becomes inactive.
- Technical logs: for the shortest period reasonably necessary for security, troubleshooting and website operation.
- Legal or compliance records: for as long as required by applicable law.
Allow these retention periods to be configurable in the backend.
10. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
However, no website, database, transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
