Your story stays yours.
FilmPilot.ai helps turn screenplays into audience insight and pre-production materials. That only works if filmmakers can trust us with their creative work. Here is how we handle it in plain language, without security theater.
Last reviewed: September 17, 2026
We process your work to provide the service, not to take ownership of it.
FilmPilot.ai does not claim ownership of your screenplay, images, characters, or other original creative materials. You retain ownership of your uploaded work. We do not use your scripts or creative work to train foundation AI models without your explicit consent.
This page supplements our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Data Processing Agreement, and AI Ethics & Transparency Policy. If those documents and this overview differ, the legal documents control.
What we will not do
- We will not claim your creative work. Your screenplay and other original materials remain yours, subject to the limited service rights described in our Terms.
- We will not quietly turn your script into a training dataset. Our stated policy is not to use your scripts or creative work to train foundation AI models without your explicit consent.
- We will not sell your screenplay to advertisers or data brokers. FilmPilot.ai is a paid filmmaking service, not an advertising data business.
- We will not represent AI-assisted output as human-authored. We identify the role of AI in our deliverables so you can make informed creative and professional decisions.
- We will not ask you to put sensitive material in a public channel. Contact support for account issues, and use authenticated FilmPilot.ai workflows for project work.
Different data, different purpose
FilmPilot.ai handles more than a screenplay. Keeping the categories clear helps us apply the right controls and gives you a realistic picture of what the service needs.
Project content
Screenplays, titles, production details, uploaded files, prompts, and generated materials. We use this to deliver the package or feature you request and to support your account.
Account and transaction data
Your name, email, login credentials, order details, and payment-related identifiers. Payment card information is handled by our payment processor rather than stored directly by FilmPilot.ai.
Technical data
Information such as requests, errors, browser or device details, and usage needed to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the site. We aim to keep operational logs separate from project content.
Deletion and access
You can request account deletion through the account deletion page. You can also contact us about privacy requests, corrections, or questions about your data.
What happens when you ask FilmPilot.ai to generate something?
- You provide the material needed for a specific feature. For example, a screenplay may be needed for audience analysis, storyboards, character design, budgeting, scheduling, or another pre-production result.
- FilmPilot.ai sends the minimum context needed to process that request. The exact data flow depends on the feature and the current service configuration.
- The result comes back to your FilmPilot.ai workflow. AI-assisted outputs are tools for your judgment, not a guarantee of commercial success, artistic quality, legal clearance, or production readiness.
- Retention follows the feature and our published policies. We remove uploaded files from active processing systems after processing is complete where our workflow permits, and we describe broader handling in the Privacy Policy.
We do not paste your screenplay into a public search engine. If a feature relies on external information, it is designed to use that information for the requested result rather than publish your project.
Practical controls, honestly described
Encryption in transit
FilmPilot.ai is served over HTTPS/TLS so data is protected while moving between your browser and the service.
Access controls
Authenticated views are protected by login and Django's permission mechanisms. User-facing project and order workflows are tied to the logged-in account.
Managed infrastructure
Uploaded files and application data are hosted using managed cloud infrastructure with access credentials kept outside the source code.
Payments separated
A specialized payment processor handles payment processing. FilmPilot.ai uses transaction identifiers to manage orders and does not need to store your full card number.
Account deletion
Use our authenticated deletion request workflow to start an account and data review with the FilmPilot.ai team.
Responsible disclosure
Security researchers can report issues through our Responsible Disclosure Policy.
Who helps FilmPilot.ai run?
FilmPilot.ai relies on specialized providers so a small filmmaking platform can offer payments, email, hosting, storage, and AI-assisted processing. The list below describes roles; the Privacy Policy remains the authoritative subprocessors and data-handling document.
| Category | Why it is used | Typical data involved |
|---|---|---|
| AI providers | Generate analysis, visualizations, and other requested pre-production outputs. | Feature-specific project context and prompts. |
| Cloud hosting & storage | Run the Django application and store files needed for orders and delivery. | Account, order, and uploaded/generated files. |
| Payment processing | Process purchases and payment events. | Payment details handled by the payment processor; FilmPilot.ai receives transaction identifiers and order information. |
| Communications | Deliver transactional and support messages. | Email address, message metadata, and the content needed to deliver the message. |
| Analytics and support | Understand site usage, diagnose issues, and answer support requests. | Operational or contact information; not intended for screenplay storage. |
Questions filmmakers ask
Can FilmPilot.ai use my screenplay to train AI?
Our policy is that we do not use your scripts or creative work to train foundation AI models without your explicit consent. See the AI Ethics page and Privacy Policy for the binding language and current details.
Do I still own my screenplay and the output?
You retain ownership of your original uploaded materials. AI-generated output can have legal and provider-specific limitations, so review the Terms and do your own rights and clearance analysis before commercial use.
Can your team read my project?
Access is limited to what is needed to operate the service, provide support, investigate an issue, or comply with law. We do not promise that no authorized operator can ever access data, and we do not hide that operational reality behind a slogan.
How do I delete my account?
Sign in and use the Delete Account link in the navigation. Your request is sent to the FilmPilot.ai team for follow-up.
How do I report a security problem?
Follow our Responsible Disclosure Policy and provide enough detail to reproduce the issue. Please do not access other users' data or disrupt the service while researching.
Trust is an ongoing obligation.
We will revise this page when our infrastructure, providers, retention practices, or security program materially change. Questions, privacy requests, and security reports are welcome through our Contact page.
