Security of Your Screenplays |
The screenplays you write in ScriptBuddy are protected by the password required for you to log into your account. Only you and those people you have given your password to may access your account and read your screenplays. We strongly recommend that you do not give out your password to anyone under any circumstances.
We take every measure possible to ensure that your screenplays are securely stored on the ScriptBuddy server. Only ScriptBuddy administrators have access to the accounts and screenplays on the ScriptBuddy server. ScriptBuddy administrators only exercise their administrative privileges over user accounts when a user emails the ScriptBuddy Help Desk asking for technical assistance. However, at no time does any ScriptBuddy administrator read users' screenplays unless the screenplay author or owner gives written permission to do so. Under no circumstances do we sell, share, or otherwise disclose any part of any user's screenplays.
When you write a screenplay in ScriptBuddy, you automatically own the intellectual property rights to that screenplay. That means, the instant you write your screenplay in ScriptBuddy it is copyrighted to you, even if you do not affix the copyright symbol or other copyright information to it (according to U.S. law).
The screenplays you write using ScriptBuddy are kept secured and private so that only you and the people you give permission to may access them.

For instance, if we make a change in ScriptBuddy's functionality that may affect the way you use it, we may send you an email regarding these changes. Moreover, it's a good idea to have your real name associated with the screenplays you write for the purposes of copyrighting.
