This Privacy Policy outlines how Southern Cross Pictures Limited (collectively referred to herein as "Southern Cross Pictures", "SCP Drama", "we", "us", or "our"), a company incorporated in New Zealand, collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal data or information (“Data”) of individuals who visit our website (scpdrama.com) or use our mini-programs and short drama/animated services within the TikTok platform (collectively, the "Service" or "Services").
We are firmly dedicated to safeguarding the privacy of our users ("users" or "you"). This Privacy Policy is an integral part of, and is governed by, our User Terms of Service.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with any terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not register, log in, access, or use our Services.
1. Compliance and International Standards
We are committed to processing your Data in accordance with global technical standards and prevailing local regulations, including where applicable:
The New Zealand Privacy Act 2020;
The European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR);
The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA);
The United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
2. Data We Collect
To operate our short drama and animation business, prevent fraud, process paywalls, and comply with platform regulations (such as TikTok Developer Rules), we may collect the following categories of Data:
A. Information You Provide to Us Automatically via TikTok
Because SCP Drama operates inside the TikTok Minis platform, when you log in or authorize our Service, we receive certain info from TikTok's OAuth JSSDK with your prior consent:
Identifiers: Your TikTok OpenID, user nickname, language preferences, and profile picture.
B. Device and Log Data (Collected via Trackers/SDKs)
When you stream dramas, our servers automatically record information about your interactions and device configuration:
Device Characteristics: Hardware model, operating system type and version, app bundle version, and screen resolution.
Resettable Advertising Identifiers: IDFA (for iOS devices) or GAID (for Android devices), used purely for performance tracking and anti-fraud auditing.
Network & Location Info: IP address and coarse geo-location (Region/Country level) to ensure content licensing restrictions are met.
Usage Logs: Search terms, browsing/viewing history, total playback duration, episodes unlocked, clicking habits, and interactive logs (such as liking or favoriting a drama).
C. Commercial and Financial Transaction Data
When you trigger a Paywall or buy tokens/subscriptions to unlock video content:
We collect Transaction IDs, transaction currency, payment amount, and order status.
PLEASE NOTE: SCP Drama does not directly collect, view, or store your credit card numbers, billing passwords, or financial account credentials. All payments are processed through secure, authorized third-party gateways (such as TikTok In-App Purchase, Stripe, Apple Pay, or Google Pay).
3. The Legal Basis and How We Use Your Data
Under the GDPR and similar privacy frameworks, we only process your Data when we have a legitimate legal basis. We use your Data to:
Fulfill Our Contract with You: Register your profile, log you into the platform, and maintain your purchased coins, subscriptions, or unlocked short-video libraries.
Content Optimization & Personalization (Legitimate Interest): Analyze viewing history and user habits to enhance recommendation algorithms, serving you animated series or drama content tailored to your preferences.
Account Security & Anti-Fraud: Review device and log data to detect system anomalies, prevent illegal screen-ripping, bot-scraping, and unauthorized chargebacks.
Communicate with You: Address your inquiries sent to our support desk or send critical administrative or system-maintenance updates.
4. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
We or our third-party measurement partners may use local storage, pixels, and mobile software development kits (SDKs) (collectively, "Trackers") within the TikTok Minis container. These Trackers are used to recognize your login status, preserve your watch history across sessions, and ensure that when you purchase a coin bundle via the paywall, it transfers to your account in real-time. You may manage tracking permissions via your mobile device's system settings (e.g., "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS or Android).
5. Potential Sharing, Transferring, or Disclosure of Data
5.1 Sharing with Partners
We do not sell your personal data. We will only share your Data with third parties in the following strictly controlled scenarios:
Service Providers: With cloud hosting facilities (located in the United States/Europe), analytics providers, and payment processors who require the data to execute core operations for SCP Drama.
Corporate Affiliates: With our parent companies, subsidiaries, or joint venture entities for unified account management, provided they adhere to this Privacy Policy.
Legal Enforcement: When forced by a court order, administrative subpoena, or regulatory agency globally, or when necessary to protect the life, property, and safety of Southern Cross Pictures, our users, or the general public.
5.2 Cross-Border Data Transfers
The Data we collect may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, New Zealand, or any other country where our data infrastructure resides. By accessing SCP Drama, you explicitly authorize the cross-border transfer of your personal data. We ensure that such transfers are governed by appropriate safeguard mechanisms, such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
6. Your Rights to Access, Correct, and Delete Data
Depending on where you reside (e.g., EU, UK, New Zealand, California), you possess specific legal rights regarding your personal information:
Right to Know / Access: You can request a summary of the categories and specific pieces of Data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification: You can request that we update or correct inaccurate personal records.
Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You can request that we delete your account and associated watch/purchase logs. Please note that deleting your data means losing all unconsumed coins or unlocked episodes permanently.
To exercise any of these rights, please submit a verifiable consumer request to our customer support desk at support@scpdrama.com. We will verify your identity and respond within the statutory timeframe mandated by your local law (typically 30 days).
7. Additional Disclosures for California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)
This section applies solely to California residents.
7.1 Data Collected and Disclosed over the Past 12 Months
We have collected and disclosed for a business purpose (specifically to cloud hosters, payment networks, and analytics partners) the following categories of CCPA consumer information: Identifiers (IP, TikTok OpenID), Commercial Information (token purchases), Internet Network Activity (drama viewing history), and Geolocation data (Country/Region).
We do not "Sell" or "Share" your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes as defined under the CCPA.
7.2 Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you (such as charging a different price or denying access to content) for exercising any of your CCPA privacy rights.
8. Children’s Privacy Policy (COPPA & GDPR Compliance)
SCP Drama is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly target or collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the age of majority in the applicable EU/UK jurisdiction).
Although we publish animated series, our content is designed for mature teenagers and adults and is not directed at children. If you are a parent or guardian and suspect that your child under 13 has bypassed our system and provided personal information or data to our platform without your consent, please notify us immediately at info@scpdrama.com. We will immediately investigate and permanently purge such data from our operational databases.
9. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for the minimum duration necessary to fulfill the purposes highlighted in Section 3, or as required to meet financial tax records (such as keeping payment transaction tokens for corporate auditing), resolve legal disputes, and enforce our corporate rights. When data is no longer necessary, it is permanently deleted or anonymized.
