Privacy Policy
Rubicon Films · ABN 18 668 053 870 · Last updated 8 October 2026
Rubicon Films (ABN 18 668 053 870) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through rubiconfilms.com, how we use it, and the rights you have. It is written to comply with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles, the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and its Information Privacy Principles, and is aligned with the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation for visitors in those regions.
Who we are
Rubicon Films is an Australian independent producer and distributor of factual and scripted series. For the purposes of the GDPR, Rubicon Films is the data controller of personal information collected through this website. You can contact us about privacy through the enquiry form on our Contact page, selecting "Other" as the enquiry type.
What we collect
Information you give us. When you send an enquiry we collect your name, email address, the subject and content of your message, and the title or season it concerns. We do not ask for, and ask you not to send, sensitive information.
Information collected automatically. Our hosting provider records standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested, referring page, date and time) for security and to keep the site running. If you accept analytics cookies, we also collect anonymised usage data as described under Cookies below.
Publicly available professional information. Our cast and crew pages show the names, roles and, where available, photographs and IMDb listings of people who worked on our productions. This information is published with their involvement in the production and is already in the public domain through screen credits and IMDb. If you are credited and would like a photograph removed or a correction made, contact us and we will act promptly.
Why we collect it and our legal basis
We use your information to respond to enquiries about distribution, co-production and press (our legitimate interest in operating our business, and the steps you request before entering a contract); to keep the website secure and reliable (legitimate interest); and, with your consent, to understand how the site is used so we can improve it. We do not sell personal information, use it for direct marketing without consent, or make automated decisions about you.
Cookies
The site uses strictly necessary cookies and local storage to remember your light or dark theme choice and your cookie preferences. Analytics cookies are set only if you choose Accept in the cookie notice; you can change your choice at any time from the Cookie settings link in the footer. Trailers and clips are hosted by third-party video platforms; a video player and its cookies load only when you choose to play a video.
Who we share it with
We share personal information only with service providers who process it on our behalf and under contract: our web host, our email provider, the anti-spam service that protects the enquiry form, and, if you consent, our analytics provider. Some of these providers store data outside Australia and New Zealand, including in the United States and the European Union. Where information leaves these jurisdictions we take reasonable steps, including standard contractual clauses, to ensure it is protected to a standard comparable to Australian and New Zealand law. We will disclose information where the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Enquiry correspondence is kept for as long as needed to deal with the enquiry and any resulting relationship, and for up to seven years after that where records must be retained for legal or accounting reasons. Server logs are kept for up to 90 days. Analytics data is retained in anonymised form for up to 26 months.
Security
We protect personal information with access controls, encrypted connections (HTTPS), reputable hosting with security monitoring, and by limiting who within Rubicon Films can see enquiry correspondence. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; if a data breach is likely to cause serious harm we will notify affected people and the relevant regulator as the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme (Australia) and the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand) require.
Your rights
You may ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, to restrict or object to its processing, to receive it in a portable form, or to withdraw a consent you have given. Residents of the EU, EEA and UK have these rights under the GDPR; Australian and New Zealand residents have access and correction rights under their Privacy Acts, and we extend the remaining rights to everyone as a matter of policy. We will respond within 30 days (20 working days in New Zealand). To exercise a right, contact us through the Contact page.
Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it. You may also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au), the Office of the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner (privacy.org.nz), or, in the EU or UK, your local data protection authority.
Children
This website is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed, and material changes will be noted on this page.
