The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based.

(ii)Limitations. You and WORLD FILM FEDERATION agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Claim between WORLD FILM FEDERATION and you individually.

If we are initiating arbitration for a Claim, we will pay all costs charged by JAMS for initiating the arbitration. All other fees and costs of the arbitration will be charged pursuant to the JAMS Rules. Notwithstanding Section 19.5 of this ToU to the contrary, you will not be required to pay our attorneys’ fees or other costs if you do not prevail in the arbitration.
(v)Severability.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) aims to provide California residents a host of new rights, among them the ability to prevent companies from “selling” their personal information.
“Selling” data and what it means.
A common understanding of “selling” information is that it involves a company taking information it has learned about you and exchanging that information with an unrelated third party for money, who will then use that data for a new purpose that you did not intend. World Film Federation will not condone using your personal information for any financial gain to a third party.
We use our users’ information to help people. However, the CCPA has a much broader definition of “sell” than this. WORLD FILM FEDERATION strives to live up to the law, and your wishes, as it relates to this right.
What WORLD FILM FEDERATION does that may fall under this definition.
This list is not meant to be exclusive but shows examples of what our products do. We say “may” fall under the definition of “selling” data because the CCPA is new, and these issues are not yet resolved.
- We display your public profile.
- We allow third-party cookies to help employers measure job listing performance and to optimize our online advertising.
- We share data with our affiliates as described in our Privacy Center.
What WORLD FILM FEDERATION does not do.
- We don’t sell data to data brokers.
- We don’t exchange information about you with a third party for money.
Reasons WORLD FILM FEDERATION “sells” or “transfers” your data.
Each reason below is inherent in our mission to help you find jobs. For example, when we show a public profile to an employer, it is because a person looking for a job has made their profile public in order to show themselves to an employer.
- Showing public profiles to employers is how we help people who have made their resume public get jobs.
- Allowing employers to measure job listing performance helps drive more jobs to the people who want those jobs.
- Sharing data with our affiliates allows people looking for jobs to access more job listings and employers, and for employers to access more people looking for jobs, as well as providing improved security for our users.
Opting out of data “selling”.
A request to not “sell” or “transfer” your information to an employer prohibits us from providing our services to you. In order to opt out, you can request that we delete your account and personal data.
Ways to opt out.
- Request to have your data deleted through this personal data request form: see below.
By submitting this request, you are declaring that you are a California resident taking advantage of your rights under CCPA. Once your data is deleted, WORLD FILM FEDERATION will be unable to transfer it.
Frequently asked questions:
- Why am I being asked to delete data and my account?
- How we transfer data is integral to our core products and services that help job seekers find great jobs, and employers find great candidates. At this time, we are not able to provide our core products and services without these transfers. However, you can still use WORLD FILM FEDERATION to find and apply to jobs to the extent that you wish.
- Can I still use WORLD FILM FEDERATION after deleting my account?
- If you submit the request to opt out and delete your account, you will still be able to access all the services we offer on our site that do not require us to collect and transfer your email address. You may always register a new account or sign up to receive job alerts, but you will be required to use a different email address.
- Is it possible these practices will change?
- WORLD FILM FEDERATION is carefully watching the State of California and its Attorney General for any new interpretations of the CCPA. If we feel it is proper to transfer the user data as our products are designed to do, we will revisit this issue. Our mission remains to help you get jobs and stay informed in the manner that you wish.
Please complete the steps below to initiate your requests.

Shipping returns
You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund if it is deemed that you have not paid for return shipping.
Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you may vary. Please be patient.
If you are returning more expensive items, you may consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We don’t guarantee that we will receive your returned item.
