Privacy policy
The data controller is Beyond The Sentence CIC, a Community Interest Company registered in the United Kingdom (company no. 17267048). Reach us about anything on this page at hello@beyondthesentence.co.uk.
We collect only what we need to serve you: your email and name when you sign up for updates, donate or unlock a film, plus a record of which films your account has unlocked. We use them only to deliver what you asked for: your receipts, your sign-in links and our updates. In legal terms: we process your data to perform our contract with you (your unlocks, your sign-in, your receipts) and with your consent (our update emails, which you can leave with one click, any time).
We never sell your data and never share it for advertising. A small set of trusted providers process it on our behalf, each only for its job: Stripe (payments), Bunny.net (video streaming), Kit (our update list), Microsoft 365 (our mailboxes) and Hostinger with Cloudflare (hosting and delivery). Payment card details go straight to Stripe and never touch our servers. Where a provider stores data outside the UK, it does so under the UK-approved safeguards for international transfers.
We hold your account data while your account lives and keep purchase records for the six years UK finance rules require; sign-in links expire after twenty minutes and are single-use. You have the right to a copy of your data, to correct it, to take it with you and to have it deleted. One email to hello@beyondthesentence.co.uk and it is done within 30 days. If you are ever unhappy with how we handled it, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Terms of use
Films you unlock are yours to stream for personal viewing, on your own account, for good. Please do not copy, re-stream or share them; every story here belongs to its storyteller and viewing it fairly is part of paying them fairly.
£25 puts all three chapters on your account for good; a gift of £30 or more adds the behind-the-scenes footage, interviews and extra material. We may update these terms as the platform grows; the current version always lives on this page.
Cookies
We use only the cookies the site needs to work: keeping you signed in on the watch app and remembering your viewing state. No advertising cookies, no analytics, no trackers following you around the internet. Because every cookie we set is essential, UK law does not require a consent pop-up for them; we tell you anyway, once, in the corner notice. Stripe sets its own essential cookies on its payment pages.
Payments
All payments are processed by Stripe with full card security; we never see or store your card details. Every payment goes right to Beyond The Sentence CIC’s social justice mission and funds the next chapter.
Every payment is one-off: £11 unlocks one chapter and £25 unlocks all three. A gift of £30 or more unlocks all three plus the behind-the-scenes footage, interviews and extra material. Nothing renews and nothing is ever taken again.
Films and extras are digital content. By ticking the box at checkout you ask us to start your access straight away and agree that, once streaming begins, the 14-day cancellation right under the UK consumer rules no longer applies. We do not offer refunds. This does not affect your statutory rights.
If a film will not play or a payment looks wrong, write to hello@beyondthesentence.co.uk and we will look into it with you.
