Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

This page explains what information The Chant Movies (thechantnews.com, "we", "us") collects, why we collect it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

You can browse the website without creating an account. We only collect personal information, such as your name and email address, when you choose to enter our monthly giveaway (see below).

Your selected country and language, the movies you save to My List, and whether you have entered or dismissed the giveaway are stored only in your own browser (local storage). They are not sent to us, and you can remove them at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser.

Giveaway entries and email sign-ups

When you enter the Monthly Movie Ticket Giveaway, we collect:

Why we use it. We use this information to run the giveaway: to check that entries are valid, draw the winners at random, contact winners and arrange their tickets. If you tick the optional box, we also use your email address to send you upcoming movie news and offers. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails or by writing to us. We will not use your information for any other purpose without asking for your consent first.

Legal basis. We process this information because you gave your consent when you entered. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent before a draw removes you from that draw.

Where it is stored. Entries are saved in a private file on our web hosting server (Hostinger). This file is not publicly accessible and only the site owner can open it.

Sharing. We do not sell or rent your personal information. If you win, we may share your name with a cinema or ticket booking service only to book your ticket. With your agreement, winners' first name, last initial and city are shown on our giveaway page.

How long we keep it. Giveaway entries are kept for up to 12 months after the draw they were entered in, then deleted. If you agreed to receive movie news and offers, we keep your email address until you unsubscribe.

Your rights. You can ask us to show you the information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it, and you can withdraw your consent at any time. Email contact@thechantnews.com and we will respond within 30 days.

Age. The giveaway is only open to people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

The full giveaway rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
