FTC's Privacy Policy
The Film Transfer Company takes your privacy very seriously and guarantees that all media is handled in a confidential, professional manner. To ensure your privacy, we take the following steps for each media item received for archiving:
Privacy of Materials Received
- All media is kept in a secure building.
- Each customer receives a unique code which corresponds to their order.
- All media is stored in a tote with the code clearly marked.
- Throughout the digitization process, the tote is scanned and updated in the system to reflect the next step in the order process.
- When media is ready to be digitized, it is first transported by hand to the cleaning area, where it undergoes a thorough cleaning to remove as much debris as possible.
- Each media item is then scanned/transferred by a member of our team whose responsibility is to ensure the safety of each media item, and that our stringent Quality Control requirements are adhered to throughout the scanning/transfer process.
- Once all media has been digitized, it is uploaded to our internal server.
- At this point, the media is transferred to an external USB hard drive purchased from The Film Transfer Co. (or a hard drive supplied by our customer, if applicable).
- The entire order goes through another round of Quality Control checkpoints before it is ready for shipment back to the customer.
- All files associated with the scanning/transfer of that particular order will be retained for two months on our internal server to ensure 100% satisfaction.

We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to ship an order.
Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
Orders
We request information from you on our order form. To buy from us, you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we'll use this information to contact you.
Registration
The first time that a user completes an order form on our site, the user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about the products/services on our site in which you have expressed interest. This information is stored in our system, and allows the user to log in to our site to check order progress or more easily submit subsequent orders. All information obtained in this registration process is used to enhance the order process for our users, and is handled by us under the guidelines detailed in this document.
If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, you should contact us immediately via the telephone number or email address published on our Contact Us page.
