This Privacy Policy was last updated on 08 October 2026.

Identity and Role of the Data Controller

showflowza acts as the data controller for the personal data processed through this website. We are responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing your personal data in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Our operations focus on providing professional resources for studio production in motion, including equipment setup, camera operation, lighting, sound, and workflows for television and live shows.

Scope of the Notice and the People It Covers

This notice applies to all visitors to the website who interact with our services, including those seeking information on studio production topics. It covers individuals located in the United Kingdom and elsewhere who access the site. The policy explains how we handle data collected from users of the contact form and those who engage with our commercial offerings.

Categories of Personal Data and Sources

We collect personal data such as names, email addresses, and any details submitted through the contact form. Additional information may include IP addresses, browser types, and usage data obtained automatically through server logs. Data is sourced directly from you when you submit forms or interact with the site, as well as from third-party analytics providers where applicable.

Purpose-by-Purpose Explanation of Processing and Legal Basis

Personal data is processed to respond to enquiries submitted via the contact form, which relies on legitimate interests or consent. We process data to improve website functionality and deliver relevant content on studio production, based on legitimate interests. Compliance with legal obligations, such as record-keeping under tax or consumer laws, forms another basis. Marketing communications, where opted in, are based on consent.

Whether Providing Data Is Required and Consequences

Providing personal data through the contact form is voluntary, but failure to supply necessary details may prevent us from responding to your enquiry or delivering requested resources. Certain technical data is collected automatically to ensure site security and performance; opting out via browser settings may limit functionality.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience and analyse site traffic. Details on specific cookies, their purposes, and how to manage preferences are set out in our separate Cookie Policy, which should be read alongside this notice in line with PECR requirements.

Processors, Service-Provider Categories, Recipients, and Disclosures

We engage processors such as hosting providers, email delivery services, and analytics platforms to support our operations. Personal data may be shared with these categories of recipients only as necessary. Disclosures may also occur when required by law, such as in response to valid requests from authorities.

International Transfers and Safeguards

Some processors may be located outside the United Kingdom, leading to international transfers of personal data. In such cases, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including standard contractual clauses approved under UK GDPR, to protect your information during transfer and processing.

Specific Retention Periods or Criteria

Contact form data is retained for up to two years after the last interaction to handle follow-up enquiries. Usage logs are kept for twelve months for security and analytics purposes. Retention periods are determined by legal obligations, business needs, and the principle of data minimisation, after which data is securely deleted.

Security and Data-Minimisation Practices

We implement technical and organisational measures, including encryption and access controls, to protect personal data against unauthorised access or loss. Data collection is limited to what is necessary for the stated purposes, and regular reviews ensure ongoing compliance without absolute guarantees of security.

Data-Subject Rights and Practical Exercise Methods

You have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection regarding your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details provided on the Contacts page or via [email protected], 01494 671234, or Beaconsfield Studios, Station Road, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, HP9 1LG. We will respond within one month, subject to verification of identity.

Right to Withdraw Consent and Object to Direct Marketing

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us through the methods above. You can also object to direct marketing or profiling by opting out in any communications received or by notifying us directly, which will cease such activities promptly.

Right to Complain to the Competent Supervisory Authority

If you are dissatisfied with our handling of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority. Contact details for the ICO are available on their official website.

Children or Age Restrictions

Our website and services are 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 such data has been collected, it will be deleted promptly.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or significant effects on individuals. Any analytics used are for internal improvement and do not result in automated decisions affecting users.

Policy Changes and Effective Date

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in law or practice. The effective date of the current version is 08 October 2026. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
