Who We Are and Our Role as Data Controller

pressechoxa operates this commercial website as a press production resource focused on sound and communication topics such as interviews, studio briefings, microphone setup, camera framing and organised media workflows. We act as the data controller under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. This means we decide the purposes and means of processing any personal data collected through the site, including via the contact form on our Contacts page. Our registered address is Screenworks, 22 Highbury Grove, London N5 2EF and you can reach us at [email protected] for any data protection queries.

Scope of This Notice and Who It Covers

This policy applies to all visitors to the website, including individuals who submit enquiries through the contact form, request information about our production resources or otherwise interact with the site. It covers personal data of UK residents and others who access the site from the United Kingdom. The notice explains how we handle data when you use the contact form, browse pages about microphone setup or studio briefings, or engage with our commercial offerings. It does not cover third-party sites linked from our content.

Categories of Personal Data and Their Sources

We collect personal data directly from you when you complete the contact form. This includes your name, email address, any message content you provide and technical data such as IP address, browser type and device information gathered automatically. We do not obtain data from third-party sources or public records. For production-related enquiries the message may contain details about your work in sound or communication fields, but we only process what you voluntarily submit.

Purpose-by-Purpose Explanation of Processing and Legal Bases

We process your data to respond to enquiries submitted via the contact form, which is necessary for our legitimate interests in providing customer support and commercial information about our press production resources. We also use data to improve site functionality and ensure security, again under legitimate interests. Where you consent to marketing communications we process under consent. Compliance with legal obligations, such as responding to regulatory requests, forms another basis. Each purpose is assessed individually so that processing remains limited to what is required.

Whether Providing Data Is Required and Consequences of Not Providing It

Supplying your name and email through the contact form is voluntary, yet necessary if you wish to receive a reply about microphone setup, camera framing or similar topics. If you choose not to provide these details we cannot respond to your enquiry. Technical data is collected automatically when you visit the site and you cannot disable it without affecting your ability to use the website.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to support essential site functions, remember preferences and analyse usage patterns. Details of the specific cookies deployed and how to manage them appear in our separate Cookie Policy, which is accessible from the site-wide cookie banner. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse non-essential cookies, although this may limit certain features such as form submission feedback.

Processors, Service-Provider Categories, Recipients and Disclosures Required by Law

We engage trusted service providers to host the website, manage the contact form and provide analytics. These processors act only on our documented instructions and are bound by contracts that meet UK GDPR requirements. We may disclose data if required by law, court order or to protect our rights, but we do not sell personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

International Transfers and the Safeguards Used

Some of our service providers may be located outside the United Kingdom. When personal data is transferred internationally we rely on appropriate safeguards such as UK-approved standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions where available. These measures ensure your data receives an equivalent level of protection.

Specific Retention Periods or Criteria for Deciding Them

Contact form data is retained for twelve months after the last correspondence to allow follow-up and then securely deleted. Technical logs are kept for up to ninety days for security and troubleshooting. We apply these periods consistently unless a longer retention is needed to meet legal obligations, in which case we document the justification.

Security and Data-Minimisation Practices

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit, access controls and regular security reviews, to protect personal data. We collect only the minimum information necessary for each purpose and do not make absolute guarantees against all possible breaches.

All Applicable Data-Subject Rights and Practical Methods for Exercising Them

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, port your data and object to certain processing. To exercise these rights please contact us at [email protected] or write to Screenworks, 22 Highbury Grove, London N5 2EF. We will respond within one month, or longer where the request is complex, and may ask for identification to verify your identity.

Right to Withdraw Consent and Object to Direct Marketing or Profiling

Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time by emailing [email protected]. You can also object to direct marketing or any profiling we conduct for marketing purposes. We do not use your data for automated profiling beyond basic analytics that do not produce legal or significant effects.

Right to Complain to the Competent Supervisory Authority

If you believe we have not handled your data correctly you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority. Contact details and guidance are available on the ICO website. We encourage you to contact us first at [email protected] so we can attempt to resolve the matter.

Children or Age Restrictions

Our website and resources are intended for adults engaged in professional media production. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under sixteen. If we become aware that data from a child has been submitted we will delete it promptly.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or significantly affects individuals. Any analytics tools we use are limited to aggregate usage statistics and do not target individuals.

Policy Changes and Effective Date

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or our practices. The current version is dated 21 September 2026. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site and the updated date revised accordingly. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
