Who We Are and Our Role as Data Controller
starquivo operates this website as the data controller under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We determine the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through the site. Our registered address is 16 Garrick Street, London WC2E 9BA, United Kingdom and we can be contacted at [email protected] for any data protection queries.
Scope of This Privacy Notice
This notice applies to all visitors to the website who interact with our content on stage coverage, interviews, camera planning, lighting design and production workflows. It covers data collected from users in the United Kingdom and explains how we handle information when you browse, submit enquiries via the contact form or otherwise engage with the site.
Categories of Personal Data and Sources
We collect contact details such as name and email address when you use the contact form. Usage data including IP address, browser type, pages visited and device information are gathered automatically through server logs. We obtain this information directly from you or through standard web technologies; no data is purchased from third parties.
Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases
We process contact data to respond to enquiries on the basis of legitimate interest in providing customer support. Usage data supports site analytics and security under legitimate interest. Where consent is obtained via the cookie banner we process certain tracking data for performance measurement under consent. Each purpose is documented with its corresponding lawful basis to ensure transparency.
Whether Providing Data Is Required
Supplying contact information through the form is voluntary. If you choose not to provide it we may be unable to respond to your message. Browsing the site without accepting optional cookies still allows access to all content although some usage statistics will not be collected.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences and measure performance. Details of each category and how to manage them are set out in the separate Cookie Policy accessible via the site-wide cookie banner. We comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations by obtaining consent where required.
Processors, Recipients and Lawful Disclosures
We engage service providers such as hosting platforms and email delivery services that act as processors under contract. Personal data may be disclosed to law enforcement or regulators where required by law. No sale of personal data occurs.
International Transfers
Some processors may be located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases we rely on UK adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office to protect your data during transfer.
Retention Periods
Contact form submissions are retained for twelve months after the last interaction to allow follow-up. Server logs are kept for up to twenty-four months for security analysis. Cookie data expires according to the durations stated in the Cookie Policy. Data is deleted or anonymised once the retention period ends.
Security and Data Minimisation
We apply technical measures including encryption in transit and access controls to protect personal data. We collect only the minimum information necessary for each stated purpose and regularly review our practices to avoid excessive processing.
Your Data Subject Rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. Requests can be submitted by emailing [email protected] with sufficient detail to verify your identity. We aim to respond within one month.
Withdrawing Consent and Objecting to Marketing
Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected]. You also have the right to object to direct marketing or any profiling activities; we do not currently conduct direct marketing but will honour any future objections.
Right to Complain
If you believe your data has been handled unlawfully you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk. We encourage you to contact us first at [email protected] so we can address concerns promptly.
Children and Age Restrictions
The website content is intended for a general adult audience interested in professional entertainment production. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of eighteen. If we become aware that such data has been provided we will delete it without delay.
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We do not use personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Basic analytics may involve aggregated profiling for site improvement but no individual decisions are made automatically.
Changes to This Policy
We review this notice periodically and update it when our practices or legal requirements change. The last updated date appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
