Privacy Policy



Your privacy is highly important to us and we take our obligation regarding the protection of your personal information very seriously. We are committed to shielding your personal information and to being wholly transparent about the information we store about you and what we do with it. Your data is securely stored. This policy applies whether in an EU member state or not.




General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) Policy

From the 25th of May 2018 the DPA (Data Protection Act) is changing to the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). The essence of this change is about bringing legislation up-to-date and making your online data choices clearer.



Legitimate Interests

While data we gather has been gathered in compliance with DPA and/or GDPR legislation, it is important to note that all contact from Glowfrog Video Production will also be considered a ‘legitimate interest’, for example, relevant video production information, new pricing information. For more information, see Recital 47 below.



Recital 47 Overriding legitimate interest  (This title is an unofficial description.)

1. The legitimate interests of a controller, including those of a controller to which the personal data may be disclosed, or of a third party, may provide a legal basis for processing, provided that the interests or the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overriding, taking into consideration the reasonable expectations of data subjects based on their relationship with the controller.

2. Such legitimate interest could exist for example where there is a relevant and appropriate relationship between the data subject and the controller in situations such as where the data subject is a client or in the service of the controller.

3. At any rate the existence of a legitimate interest would need careful assessment including whether a data subject can reasonably expect at the time and in the context of the collection of the personal data that processing for that purpose may take place.

4. The interests and fundamental rights of the data subject could in particular override the interest of the data controller where personal data are processed in circumstances where data subjects do not reasonably expect further processing.

5. Given that it is for the legislator to provide by law for the legal basis for public authorities to process personal data, that legal basis should not apply to the processing by public authorities in the performance of their tasks.

6. The processing of personal data strictly necessary for the purposes of preventing fraud also constitutes a legitimate interest of the data controller concerned.

7. The processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest.

We never collect personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, or data concerning a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation.

​

We only collect information given to us by our clients or those persons that decide to give information. We do not obtain information from third parties except in the case of where we may be researching potential new clients via a search engine such as Google with the aim of contacting such potential new clients to offer video production services in which case we may obtain basic and publicly available information about a business such as the business name, business address, business phone number, business email address, and name of the relevant contact within the business, to enable us to make an enquiry about possible video production.



Who do we share your personal data with?

Below is a full list of trusted third-party companies we work with, who we may share your personal data with, depending on how you make an enquiry or require delivery of your finished video or associated files or how you make payment.

How we protect your personal data

​

We know how important security is to all our clients and we treat all data with the upmost care. For example the only time Glowfrog Video Production systems and staff require credit or debit card details are for payments made over the phone which at the time of writing this policy is not actually an available way of paying but may become so in the future. In such instances your credit or debit card details would never be stored on our systems. We continually evaluate our policies to ensure your data is treated with most respect and care.



How you can protect your personal data

​

When ordering online it is important to consider what security you have for your computer or tablet or other device as many data breaches online can be related to an infected device rather than the website you are visiting being at fault. We’d advise anyone ordering online to consider the following before giving any company their personal information;

  • Only use the internet if you have an antivirus and firewall package installed.

  • Only purchase a well-known security package from companies. Make sure your firewall is active before browsing the web.

  • Regularly run your antivirus.

  • Before entering any details on a website, make sure the website connection is over “https://” and look for the display of a padlock in the browser window.

  • If you have any concerns call the company you are purchasing from and express your concerns or check in other ways that the company is bonafide.


     

What are your rights over your personal data?
 

Even though Glowfrog Video Production holds the absolute minimum data required to process an order and operate our business under the law, you have the right to request:

  • Access to the personal data we hold about you.

  • Correction of any personal data that is incorrect or out of date.

  • ‘Opt out’ to request not to receive information or email from us and for us to delete information we hold. Under certain circumstances Glowfrog Video Production can refuse to erase data. For example but not exhaustive, data which relates to the following:

  • To comply with a legal obligation for the performance of a public interest or exercise of official authority.

You can contact at any time to request to exercise these rights by contacting hello@glowfrogvideo.com
