Privacy & Data Protection

We take client confidentiality and the collection and use of personal data very seriously and work within all recommendations and stipulations of the UK Data Protection Act (1998). Simply put, we will not disclose or resell any personal information to any third party unless we are required to do so by law. We will store all client information securely and retain it only as long as is required to complete current transactions. This data will then be archived for our standard retention period. We will only gather and retain data that is relevant to the transaction being undertaken.

IOVButtonOur approach is drawn directly from industry best practice based on standard wording produced by the Institute of Videography (IOV) which is a regulatory body for the video industry.

Code of Practice

IOVButtonWe also comply fully with the terms of the Code of Practice published by the Institute of Videography (IOV).

Any member deviating from the Code of Practice must be able to justify their actions to the Executive.

  • Each Member will work within the reasonable terms set by the member’s client, or by any official or body possessing the correct and legal authority to set limitations and restrictions.
