Privacy Policy
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Identity and Role of the Data Controller
celebonetix acts as the data controller for the purposes of this privacy policy. We are responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through our website. Our operations are based in the United Kingdom, and we comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Scope of the Notice and the People It Covers
This privacy notice applies to all visitors to our website who interact with our professional resources on studio production topics. It covers individuals located in the United Kingdom and elsewhere who access our services, including those submitting enquiries via the contact form. The notice does not apply to third-party websites linked from our content.
Categories of Personal Data and Sources
We collect personal data directly from you when you use the contact form or engage with our resources. Categories include identification details such as your name, contact information like email address and phone number, and any additional information you provide in messages. We may also obtain technical data such as IP addresses and browser information from your device interactions. No data is collected from third-party sources.
Purpose-by-Purpose Explanation of Processing and Legal Basis
We process your data for several specific purposes. First, to respond to enquiries submitted through the contact form, relying on legitimate interests or consent where applicable. Second, to provide access to our professional resources on studio equipment and workflows, based on contract performance. Third, to improve site functionality and user experience through analytics, under legitimate interests. Each purpose has a clearly defined legal basis under UK GDPR, and we document these assessments internally.
Whether Providing Data Is Required and Consequences
Providing personal data through the contact form is voluntary. However, if you choose not to supply necessary information such as an email address, we may be unable to respond to your enquiry or grant access to certain resources. Technical data is collected automatically, and refusing it may limit your ability to use the site effectively.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and gather usage statistics. Details on the types of cookies employed and your options for managing them are set out in the Cookie Policy available on this website. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, though this may affect site performance.
Processors, Service-Provider Categories and Recipients
We engage trusted processors such as hosting providers, email service platforms, and analytics tools to support our operations. These parties process data only on our instructions and under strict contractual safeguards. We may disclose data where required by law, such as in response to valid legal requests from authorities, or to protect our rights in legal proceedings.
International Transfers and Safeguards
Some of our service providers may be located outside the United Kingdom, potentially resulting in international data transfers. Where transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the UK authorities, to maintain equivalent protection for your personal data.
Specific Retention Periods and Criteria
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined. Enquiry data is typically kept for up to two years after the last interaction, while technical logs are retained for twelve months. Retention decisions are based on legal obligations, business needs, and the right to erasure requests.
Security and Data-Minimisation Practices
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, including encryption and access controls. We apply data minimisation principles by collecting only the information required for each purpose and regularly reviewing our practices to avoid unnecessary retention.
Data-Subject Rights and Exercising Them
Under UK GDPR you have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details on our Contacts page or by emailing [email protected]. We will respond within one month and may request verification of your identity.
Right to Withdraw Consent and Object to Marketing
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected] or using any unsubscribe options provided. You also have the right to object to direct marketing and any profiling activities associated with it. Objections will be actioned promptly without affecting prior lawful processing.
Right to Complain to the Competent Supervisory Authority
If you believe your data has been mishandled, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority. Contact details for the ICO can be found on their official website, and we encourage you to raise concerns with us first.
Children or Age Restrictions
Our website and resources are intended for professionals and adults engaged in studio production work. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that such data 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 on individuals. Any analytics used are limited to aggregate usage patterns and do not involve individual profiling for decision purposes.
Policy Changes and Effective Date
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in law or our practices. The last updated date appears at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. For questions, please reach us via the contact form or at [email protected].
