Privacy Policy

Last updated: 28 September 2026

Identity and Role of the Data Controller

celebmarkon acts as the data controller for the purposes of this privacy policy. We are responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through our website, which provides professional resources dedicated to entertainment media production, including coverage of celebrity-focused events, interview setups, camera planning, lighting techniques, and workflows for culture and show reporting. Our registered address is 9 Union Road, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire NP7 5UW, UK and we can be contacted via [email protected].

Scope of This Notice and Who It Covers

This notice applies to all visitors to our website who are located in the United Kingdom. It covers individuals whose personal data we process in connection with their use of our services, such as accessing resources on media production or submitting enquiries through the contact form. It does not apply to data processed in other contexts outside the scope of this site.

Categories of Personal Data and Sources

We collect personal data directly from you when you interact with the site, including your name, email address, and any details provided in contact form submissions. Additional data may include technical information such as IP address, browser type, and usage patterns obtained automatically through server logs. We do not obtain data from third-party sources unless explicitly disclosed in the course of service delivery.

Purpose-by-Purpose Explanation of Processing and Legal Basis

Personal data is processed for the following purposes, each with its own legal basis under UK GDPR: to respond to enquiries submitted via the contact form (legal basis: legitimate interests or consent where required); to provide access to professional resources on entertainment media production (legal basis: performance of a contract or legitimate interests); to ensure site security and prevent fraud (legal basis: legitimate interests); and to comply with legal obligations such as record-keeping (legal basis: legal obligation). Each purpose is limited to what is necessary for the stated activity.

Whether Providing Data Is Required and Consequences of Not Providing It

Providing certain personal data, such as an email address through the contact form, is necessary to receive responses to enquiries. Failure to provide this information will prevent us from processing your request. Other data, such as optional details in forms, is not mandatory, but omitting it may limit the usefulness of our resources or responses.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance site functionality, analyse usage, and support essential operations. Details of the specific cookies employed, their purposes, and how to manage preferences are set out in our separate Cookie Policy, which is accessible via the site-wide cookie banner. Under PECR, we obtain consent for non-essential cookies where applicable.

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

We engage trusted processors such as hosting providers, analytics services, and email delivery platforms to support website operations. These processors are bound by contractual safeguards. Personal data may also be disclosed to law enforcement or regulatory bodies where required by law, or to protect our rights in legal proceedings.

International Transfers and Safeguards

Some processors may be located outside the United Kingdom, resulting in international transfers of personal data. In such cases, we rely on appropriate safeguards including UK adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner's Office, or binding corporate rules to ensure an adequate level of protection.

Specific Retention Periods or Criteria for Deciding Them

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. For example, contact form data is kept for up to two years to handle follow-up enquiries; technical logs are retained for twelve months for security purposes. Retention criteria include legal requirements, ongoing business needs, and the exercise of data subject rights.

Security and Data-Minimisation Practices

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 data handling practices. Data minimisation is applied by collecting only the information strictly required for each purpose, without making absolute guarantees against all possible risks.

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

Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have rights including access to your data, rectification of inaccuracies, erasure in certain circumstances, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection to processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected] with a clear description of your request. We will respond within one month, subject to verification of your identity.

Right to Withdraw Consent and Object to Direct Marketing or Profiling

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting [email protected]. You also have the right to object to direct marketing communications or any profiling activities. Such objections will be honoured promptly, and we do not engage in automated profiling for marketing purposes.

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, and we encourage you to raise concerns with us first to seek resolution.

Children or Age Restrictions

Our website and resources are intended for a professional audience 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, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. Any use of analytics tools is limited to aggregate insights for site improvement.

Policy Changes and Effective Date

This privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in law, technology, or our practices. The last updated date is shown at the beginning of this document. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We recommend reviewing this notice regularly.
