Golden ArcHonors

Privacy Notice

Your information, handled with care.

This notice is a working draft pending review by a Ghana-qualified legal adviser and authorised approval.

Legal basis

Golden Arc Honors processes personal information in accordance with the applicable laws of the Republic of Ghana, including the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843).

Golden Arc Honors is not yet registered with the Data Protection Commission of Ghana. Applicable registration requirements are being verified, and this notice will be updated once the status is confirmed.

What we collect and why

We collect personal information for specified and legitimate purposes connected with administering the awards and related programmes — for example when you send a contact message or sponsorship enquiry, join our announcements list, create a Country Portal account, or submit a country registration or national film package.

We collect only what is needed for each purpose. Submission materials are used for eligibility review, judging and administration.

Copyright and intellectual property remain with their owners. Submitting a film never transfers ownership; any permission for evaluation, administration or publicity is limited to its stated purpose.

Voting and contests

Where a contest or vote is run, the information collected, the purposes, any voting or payment providers and the applicable notices will be confirmed and published before it opens. Golden Arc Honors does not claim to store full payment-card details.

Where participants are under 18, parental or guardian consent and safeguarding procedures apply.

Service providers and storage

Third-party providers may support website hosting, forms, submissions, communications and data storage. Providers, hosting locations and any cross-border handling will be identified and documented as arrangements are confirmed.

Retention

Certain information may be kept for awards administration, eligibility verification, historical records, legal obligations and dispute resolution. A retention schedule is being prepared; specific periods will be published once approved.

Your requests

You may send privacy enquiries or requests about your personal information to info@goldenarchonors.com. The Secretariat coordinates privacy enquiries and data-security incidents and will verify, record and respond to requests in line with applicable legal requirements.

Updates

This notice is reviewed before each awards cycle and whenever registration status, data practices, providers or legal requirements change. Nothing here limits any rights or protections available under applicable law.
