Privacy Policy
Last updated 1 November 2026
Darkwood Entertainment Pty Ltd (ABN 79 664 482 017) (“we”, “us”) runs this website for the feature documentary COMMON WEALTH. This policy explains what personal information is collected when you visit the site or buy the film, and how it’s handled.
Visiting this site
You can browse this site without creating an account or giving us any personal details. We collect personal information only if you book a screening licence, join the mailing list or contact us, as described below.
Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you view. This is used to keep the site running and secure.
The trailer is shown in a Vimeo player. When it loads, Vimeo may set cookies and collect information about your device and viewing under Vimeo’s Privacy Policy.
Buying the film
Checkout happens on Vimeo OTT, not on this site, and is covered by the Privacy Policy on our Vimeo OTT store. Vimeo collects the details needed to process your purchase and give you access, such as your name, email address and payment details. Your card details are handled by Vimeo and its payment processors and are never shared with us.
Vimeo shares some customer information with us, such as your name, email address and what you purchased, so we can understand our audience. For help with a purchase or your viewing account, visit the Vimeo OTT help centre.
Screening licences
If you buy a public screening licence on this site, we collect the details you enter on the booking form: your name, organisation (if any), email address, phone number and postal address; the venue’s name and address; the date, time and expected size of your audience; any notes you add; and the name you type to accept the licence. We also record the time you accepted the licence and your IP address, as evidence of your agreement.
Payment is taken on a checkout page hosted by Stripe. Stripe collects your payment details and billing address and works out any tax that applies. Your card details are handled by Stripe and are never shared with us. Stripe also keeps the record of your booking, which we use to administer your licence.
We email your licence to you, and a copy to ourselves, through Resend, our email provider. The booking form and licence service run on our hosting provider, Render, which may keep technical logs for security and troubleshooting.
Supporting the film
If you make a contribution on the Support the Film page, payment is taken on a checkout page hosted by Stripe. Stripe collects your payment details and email address and sends you a receipt. Your card details are never shared with us. We receive your name, email address and the amount, so we can thank you, and we keep that record for as long as we need it for our own records and tax obligations. If you contribute in cryptocurrency instead, the transaction is recorded on a public blockchain; we receive no personal information with it unless you choose to email us.
Contacting us
If you email us, we’ll receive your email address and whatever you include in your message, and use them to reply.
Mailing list
If you sign up for updates, we collect your email address and country and store them with Kit, our email provider. We use them only to send news about the film, such as when it becomes available where you live. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.
How we use your information
- To answer your enquiries
- To understand how many people are watching the film and where
- To issue and administer screening licences, take payment and meet our tax and record-keeping obligations
- To keep a record of your acceptance of a licence, so we can enforce its terms
- To send you news about the film, only if you’ve agreed to receive it. You can unsubscribe at any time.
We don’t sell your personal information. We share it only with services that help us run the site and sell the film (such as Vimeo, Stripe, Resend, Kit and our hosting provider), or where the law requires it.
Information stored overseas
Vimeo, Stripe, Resend, Kit, Render and some of our other service providers store information outside Australia, including in the United States.
Access, correction and complaints
You can ask to see or correct the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, by emailing ciao@darkwoodentertainment.com. For information held by Vimeo, such as your payment details and viewing account, contact Vimeo through the Vimeo OTT help centre. If you have a privacy complaint, contact us first and we’ll respond within 30 days. If you’re not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Security and retention
We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold and keep it only as long as we need it for the purposes above or as the law requires. Licence and payment records are kept for as long as we need them to administer the licence and meet tax and legal record-keeping obligations.
Children
This site isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it last changed.
