Submitting a form does not create a payment obligation, supporter agreement, sponsorship agreement, distribution agreement, screening licence, or any other contractual commitment unless agreed separately in writing.

5. Dream Submissions and Creative Material

Some forms may invite you to share dreams, memories, reflections, or other personal creative material.
Please do not submit information about another identifiable person without their permission. Please avoid including sensitive personal details unless you are comfortable sharing them for the purposes described in the relevant form.
Dream submissions may be reviewed and may inspire the creative development, research, archive, public presentation, or communication materials of Library of Dreams. Submitting a dream does not guarantee that it will be used in the project.
We will not intentionally publish your name or identifying personal details in connection with a dream submission without your separate permission, unless this has been clearly agreed with you.

6. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable under data protection law, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Consent: when you submit a form, share a dream, subscribe to updates, or agree to be contacted.
• Legitimate interest: when we respond to enquiries, manage project communications, or maintain reasonable project records.
• Pre-contractual or contractual steps: if we discuss or enter into a support, sponsorship, distribution, exhibition, or partnership arrangement.
• Legal obligation: if we need to retain certain records for accounting, compliance, or legal reasons.

You may withdraw consent to future communications at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe option where available.

7. Who We Share Information With

We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information only where relevant and necessary with:

• technical service providers
• email/newsletter platforms
• website hosting providers
• Google Workspace / Google Forms

We share only the information needed for the relevant purpose.

8. Third-Party Tools

This website and the linked forms may use third-party tools, including:

• Google Forms / Google Workspace
• website hosting services
• email and newsletter services
• analytics tools, if enabled
• embedded media or social media services, if used

These services may process information according to their own privacy policies and may store or process data outside your country of residence.

9. International Data Transfers

Where required, we aim to use service providers that apply appropriate data protection safeguards.

10. How Long We Keep Information

As a general guideline:

• newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion
• dream submissions and creative material may be kept longer for artistic, research, archive, or project documentation purposes, unless you request deletion and deletion is still reasonably possible
• records connected to payments, contracts, accounting, or legal obligations may be kept for the period required by law

We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

12. Public Acknowledgement, Credits, and Supporter Recognition

If you express interest in being publicly acknowledged as a supporter, we may contact you separately to confirm the exact name, wording, level of acknowledgement, and whether you prefer to remain anonymous.
Submitting a form does not guarantee project credit, website listing, reward, access, or public acknowledgement. Any such recognition will be confirmed separately and may depend on contribution level, timing, production requirements, distribution requirements, and final project materials.
