Privacy Policy — Berlin Video School (BVS)

Information We Collect

When you apply for or enquire about the BVS Creative Fellowship Program, we may collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, educational background, professional information, and other information voluntarily submitted through our application form.

We may also collect basic technical information such as browser type, device information, pages visited, and website interaction data for analytics, security, and website improvement.

How We Use Your Information

We may use the information collected to:

• Process and review applications.
• Contact applicants regarding the BVS Creative Fellowship Program.
• Provide information about the program, admissions, fees, and related services.
• Improve our website, program, and user experience.
• Measure website and advertising performance.
• Maintain website security and prevent misuse.

Third-Party Services

BVS may use third-party services such as Tally, Meta, analytics tools, hosting providers, and other technology platforms to operate the website, process applications, communicate with applicants, and understand website performance.

Our application form is provided by Tally. To measure website usage and the performance of our advertising, we use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, the Meta Pixel, and Microsoft Clarity. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, buttons clicked, device and browser type, approximate location, and the advertisement or campaign that brought you to our website. Microsoft Clarity records how visitors interact with pages (such as clicks and scrolling) to help us improve the website; it does not record what you type into the application form.

We also share website events with Meta directly from our servers (the Meta Conversions API) to measure our advertising accurately. When you submit our form, this can include your email address, phone number and name in hashed (irreversibly scrambled) form, together with your IP address and browser type, which Meta uses to match the submission to ad interactions.

These third-party services may process information according to their respective privacy policies and terms. You can limit browser-based tracking through your browser's cookie settings, and manage ad preferences in your Meta and Google account settings. To ask us not to share your submission with Meta, contact us using the details below.

Data Protection

We take reasonable measures to protect the information submitted through our website and application processes. However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Information Sharing

BVS does not intend to sell or rent personal information submitted by applicants. Information may be shared with relevant service providers where reasonably necessary to operate our website, application process, communications, or other BVS services.

Your Choices

If you wish to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have submitted to BVS, you may contact us at berlinvideoschool@gmail.com or +91 90962 94939.

Policy Updates

BVS may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updated version will be published on this website.
