Privacy Policy
Last updated: 30 September 2026
Who We Are and Our Role as Data Controller
famescope operates this commercial website as the data controller under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We determine the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through the site, including the contact form on our Contacts page. Our registered address is Techspace, 132-140 Goswell Road, London EC1V 7DY. We process data lawfully, fairly and transparently, ensuring accountability for every processing activity described in this notice.
Scope of This Notice and Who It Covers
This privacy notice applies to all visitors to the website, individuals who submit enquiries via the contact form, and anyone whose personal data we receive in connection with our entertainment coverage resource focused on visual scope topics such as interview areas, camera framing, stage lighting and responsible workflows for culture media. It does not cover third-party websites linked from our content.
Categories of Personal Data and Their Sources
We collect identification data such as name, contact details including email address supplied through the contact form, and technical data such as IP address, browser type and device information obtained automatically when you access the site. Usage data including pages viewed and time spent on sections about camera framing or stage lighting is gathered via cookies and similar technologies. No data is obtained from public sources or third-party brokers.
Purpose-by-Purpose Explanation of Processing and Legal Basis
We process contact form data to respond to enquiries under the legal basis of legitimate interests and, where consent is required, explicit consent. Technical and usage data supports site functionality, security and analytics under legitimate interests. Cookie preferences are managed under consent in line with PECR. Each purpose is documented with records of processing activities maintained internally.
Whether Providing Data Is Required and Consequences of Not Providing It
Supplying your name and email via the contact form is voluntary; however, without this information we cannot respond to your message. Technical data is collected automatically and you cannot prevent its collection without disabling essential site features, which may impair navigation of our visual scope resources.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences and analyse traffic. A separate Cookie Policy explains the categories in use and how to manage them. Please refer to that document for full details on consent mechanisms and withdrawal options.
Processors, Service-Provider Categories, Recipients and Disclosures Required by Law
We engage processors such as hosting providers, analytics services and email delivery platforms that act under our instructions. Categories include IT support and cloud storage providers. We disclose data only when required by law, such as in response to court orders or regulatory requests from UK authorities.
International Transfers and the Safeguards Used
Some processors may be located outside the UK. In such cases we rely on UK adequacy regulations where available or standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office together with supplementary measures to protect your data.
Specific Retention Periods or Criteria for Deciding Them
Contact form data is retained for 24 months after the last interaction unless you request earlier deletion. Technical logs are kept for 12 months for security purposes. Cookie data follows the durations stated in the Cookie Policy. Retention criteria balance legal obligations, legitimate interests and your rights.
Security and Data-Minimisation Practices
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures including encryption in transit, access controls and regular security reviews. Data collection is limited to what is necessary for the stated purposes. No absolute security guarantee is made; users should also take reasonable steps to protect their own information.
All Applicable Data-Subject Rights and How to Exercise Them
You have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. To exercise these rights please contact us using the details on the Contacts page or by writing to Techspace, 132-140 Goswell Road, London EC1V 7DY. We will respond within one month, extendable by two further months for complex requests.
Right to Withdraw Consent and Object to Direct Marketing or Profiling
Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected]. We do not conduct direct marketing or profiling. Objection rights apply to any processing based on legitimate interests.
Right to Complain to the Competent Supervisory Authority
If you are dissatisfied with our response you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority, via their website or by post to their offices.
Children or Age Restrictions
Our site is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. 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.
Policy Changes and Effective Date
We review this notice regularly and may update it to reflect changes in law or processing activities. The last updated date appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised notice.
