Legal notice and privacy
Who is behind Film Fest Monitor, what we do with your data and why we don't use cookies. No small print. This English version is provided for convenience; the Spanish version is the legally binding one.
Updated on 10 November 2026Legal notice
Details of the owner of this website, as required by Spanish Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services (LSSI).
What Film Fest Monitor is
A free, informational directory of open calls from film festivals, labs, residencies, markets and grants, with deadlines taken from each call's official sources.
Always confirm at the official source
Every date is checked at its official source, and every listing shows the day it was checked and links to that source. Even so, rules can change without notice, so the information is for guidance only: before you submit, always confirm the rules on the official website, the only valid reference.
Film Fest Monitor does not organise any call or manage submissions, and is not responsible for changes made by their organisers.
External links and trademarks
This website links to third-party sites (festivals, submission platforms, official gazettes) whose content it does not control. The names, logos and trademarks of the festivals and organisations mentioned belong to their owners and are used only to identify them.
Intellectual property
The design, original texts and code of this website belong to its owner. The dates and public information of each call belong to their organisers.
Privacy
Just what we need to alert you to deadlines. Nothing more.
What is stored and where
If you create an account, we store your name and email and what you choose within it (favourites, interests and alerts) so you can use it from any device. It is stored with Supabase, the service that manages this website's accounts, on servers in the European Union (Frankfurt, Germany); Supabase acts as data processor. Account emails are sent through Brevo, also a data processor. Your password is never stored: only a one-way encrypted fingerprint from which it cannot be recovered. Supabase also sends account emails on our behalf (email confirmation and password recovery). Your profile photo, if you add one, and light or dark mode stay only in your browser.
Legal basis: providing the service you request when you create the account (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Deadline alerts by email are in a test version and aren't being sent yet. You can delete your account and all its data whenever you like from your profile (“Delete my account and my data”).
Contact form. If you write to us through “Contact us”, your name, email and message reach us by email through Brevo (data processor) and we use them only to reply to you. The website doesn't store them anywhere; the email is kept only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry. Legal basis: your consent when you send it (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and our legitimate interest in replying (Art. 6(1)(f)).
Technical data
When you visit the website, your browser connects to Cloudflare, the service that hosts it, which processes technical connection data (such as your IP address) to deliver it and protect it from attacks. Everything else, including the typeface, is served from the website itself: nothing is loaded from Google or other third parties.
Anti-bot protection. When you sign in, create an account, recover your password or write to us, we use Cloudflare Turnstile to check that you're not an automated program. It's almost always invisible: it analyses technical browser and connection data only for that check, with no tracking cookies or advertising. Legal basis: legitimate interest in protecting the website and accounts from abuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Error reports. If something on the website fails in your browser, an anonymous technical report is sent automatically so we can fix it: the error message, the file and line where it happened, the section of the website, the version, the browser type and the country (without the IP address). It doesn't include your email, your account, what you type or anything that identifies you. It is kept for 30 days on Cloudflare and then deleted automatically. Legal basis: legitimate interest in the website working properly (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
