Privacy Policy
Last updated: 13 October 2026
Who we are and our role as data controller
celezinix operates this website as a commercial resource focused on professional studio production techniques for motion content. We act as the data controller under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. This means we determine the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through the site. Our registered address is Beaconsfield Studios, Station Road, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, HP9 1LG and you may contact us using [email protected] or 01494 671234.
Scope of this notice
This privacy policy applies to all visitors to the site, including individuals in the United Kingdom who access our professional resources on studio equipment setup, camera operation, lighting, sound, and live production workflows. It covers data collected when you use the contact form, browse pages, or interact with any features. It does not apply to third-party websites linked from our content.
Categories of personal data we collect
We obtain personal data directly from you when you submit the contact form or otherwise communicate with us. Categories include name, email address, phone number if provided, and any message content. We also collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and usage statistics through cookies and similar technologies. No data is sourced from third parties unless you explicitly authorise it.
Purposes of processing and legal bases
We process contact details to respond to enquiries about studio production courses and resources. The legal basis is legitimate interest in providing customer support. Technical data supports site functionality and analytics under legitimate interest. Where consent is required, for example for certain marketing communications, we rely on your consent which can be withdrawn at any time. Each purpose is explained clearly at the point of collection.
Whether providing data is required
Supplying contact details via the form is voluntary. If you choose not to provide them we may be unable to respond to your specific query about studio workflows or equipment. Browsing the site without submitting forms does not require personal data, though some technical data is collected automatically for security and performance.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve site performance and remember preferences. Details of the specific cookies, their purposes, and how to manage them are set out in our separate Cookie Policy. You can control cookie settings through your browser at any time.
Processors, recipients and disclosures
We engage service providers such as hosting companies, email delivery platforms and analytics providers who act as processors under contract. They receive only the data necessary to perform their services. We may disclose data where required by law, regulation or court order, or to protect our rights and the safety of users.
International transfers
Some processors may be located outside the United Kingdom. When personal data is transferred internationally we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by the UK authorities or adequacy decisions where available. You may request further details of these safeguards by contacting us.
Retention periods
Contact data is retained for up to two years after the last interaction unless a longer period is required to meet legal obligations. Technical logs are kept for a maximum of twelve months. We apply data minimisation so that information is deleted or anonymised once it is no longer needed for the stated purposes.
Security and data minimisation
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration or loss. These include encryption in transit, access controls and regular reviews of our systems. While we take reasonable steps we cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage users to use strong passwords and keep software updated.
Your data protection rights
Under the UK GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, port your data and object to certain processing. You may exercise these rights by writing to us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month, or inform you if an extension is necessary. Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Right to object to direct marketing and profiling
You have the right to object to direct marketing at any time. If we engage in profiling for marketing purposes we will provide clear information and an easy opt-out mechanism. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interest by contacting us with your reasons.
Right to complain to the supervisory authority
If you believe your data has been processed unlawfully you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority. Their contact details are available on their website. We encourage you to contact us first so we can attempt to resolve any concerns.
Children and age restrictions
Our resources are intended for professionals and adults engaged in television and live production work. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18. 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 use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. Any analytics we perform are for internal improvement of our studio production content and do not result in automated decisions about users.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in law or our practices. The current version will always be available on this page with the last updated date shown at the top. We recommend reviewing it periodically.
