We determine the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through the site and associated services. Our registered address is News UK, 1 London Bridge Street, London, SE1 9GF, United Kingdom. For any privacy queries please contact us at [email protected] or 020 7782 3100.
Who this notice applies to
This privacy notice covers all visitors to the site, individuals who submit enquiries via the contact form, and any other persons whose personal data we process in connection with our professional resource on studio production in motion. It applies regardless of location provided the processing falls within the scope of UK data protection law.
Categories of personal data we collect and their sources
We collect identification data such as name and contact details when you use the contact form. Usage data including IP address, browser type, pages visited and referring URLs are obtained automatically through server logs. Technical data such as device identifiers and cookie IDs are gathered via cookies and similar technologies. All data originates directly from you or your device unless otherwise stated in this notice.
Purposes of processing and legal bases
We process contact data to respond to enquiries on the basis of legitimate interests in providing customer support. Usage and technical data are processed to maintain site security and improve functionality under legitimate interests. Where consent has been obtained we may process data for marketing communications. Each purpose is supported by a documented lawful basis and we do not process data for incompatible secondary purposes without further notice.
Whether supplying data is obligatory
Providing contact details via the form is voluntary. However, if you choose not to supply required fields we may be unable to respond to your enquiry. Automated collection of technical data occurs whenever you access the site and cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience and gather analytics. Details of the specific cookies deployed, their purposes and how to manage preferences are set out in our separate Cookie Policy which is accessible from the site footer. You may adjust browser settings to refuse cookies though this could limit certain features.
Recipients of personal data and service providers
Personal data may be shared with trusted service providers acting as processors such as hosting providers, email delivery services and analytics platforms under appropriate contractual safeguards. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our legal rights. No sale of personal data occurs.
International transfers
Some processors may be located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases we ensure appropriate safeguards including UK-approved standard contractual clauses or reliance on adequacy regulations are in place to protect your data to UK standards.
Retention periods
Contact form data is retained for up to two years after the last interaction to allow follow-up and audit purposes. Server logs are kept for twelve months. Cookie data expires according to the periods stated in the Cookie Policy. Data is deleted or anonymised once the retention period ends unless longer retention is required by law.
Security measures and data minimisation
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures including encryption in transit, access controls and regular security reviews. We collect only the minimum data necessary for the stated purposes and conduct periodic reviews to ensure ongoing relevance.
Your data protection rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection to processing. You may exercise these rights by contacting us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month unless the request is complex.
Withdrawing consent and objecting to marketing
Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected]. You have an absolute right to object to direct marketing and we will cease such processing upon receipt of your objection.
Right to complain to the supervisory authority
If you believe we have not handled your data appropriately you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk. We encourage you to contact us first so we can attempt to resolve the matter.
Age restrictions and children
The site is intended for professionals and individuals aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18. If we become aware that data from a child has been collected we will delete it promptly.
Automated decision-making and profiling
We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Any analytics processing is limited to aggregate statistical reporting.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy notice from time to time to reflect legal or operational changes. The date of the most recent revision appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
