We collect personal information necessary to process your festival submission and event registration, including:

- Digital screening links (specifically private or unlisted YouTube/Vimeo links and passwords).
2. Secure Processing of Payments
All financial transactions are handled securely. Tower Velvet Ltd does not store or collect your credit card numbers or banking credentials on our servers. Payment processing is completely outsourced to Stripe UK, our authorized, fully encrypted payment gateway partner.
