Privacy Policy

Effective date: August, 2026 

 

Thank you for visiting our website. This Privacy Policy informs you about how we protect and process your Personal Data when you visit our Websites, interact with us, consume Media Content, subscribe to our newsletter or podcast, register for or host a screening, or use any of our services, and gives you important information about your privacy rights and choices. 

You must read this Privacy Policy before using the website or submitting any Personal Data to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not visit our Websites or use any of our services. By accessing or using the website or our services, you agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. 

 

Scope of this Policy and Definitions 

In this Privacy Policy, “our Websites” means worldwithoutcows.com and its subdomains, together with any other website, application, page or online service operated by or on behalf of World Without Cows that links to or references this Privacy Policy, and any successor or country-specific domains we operate for World Without Cows. 

“Media Content” means World Without Cows and any other film, series, episode, trailer, clip, podcast, or other audio or video content that we make available through our Websites. It does not include content that you or other users submit to us. 

Some of our services may be covered by an additional or separate privacy notice. Where a service provides its own notice, that notice applies to that service, and this Privacy Policy applies only to the extent the two do not conflict. Our pages and profiles on third-party social media platforms are governed by those platforms’ own privacy notices. 

If we make changes in our practices to further enhance the way we protect your Personal Data, we will update this policy and post the update at this website. In some situations we may also email the updated policy to you. Please review the Privacy Policy whenever you visit the World Without Cows website to make sure that you understand how any Personal Data you provide will be used. 

This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties you may choose to share information with when you use the services, including video hosting, ticketing, podcast and social media platforms. Please note that the collection and use of your information by these third parties is subject to their own privacy policies and terms. You should understand the privacy and security practices of any third party before you share information with them.
