3. Sensitive Personal Data
Certain kinds of personal data, such as data about your racial or ethnic origin, your physical or mental health, conviction of criminal offences are special categories of personal data which by law require additional protection.

To fulfil a contract we have with you, or When you consent to it, or When it is in our legitimate interests where legitimate interests are our business or commercial reasons for using your data, but even so, we will not unfairly put our legitimate interests above what is best for you. We have set out the different ways in which we use your personal data and the reasons we rely on for using that data.

5. How we process your data
When video footage and files are captured of an individual their consent to process the data will be gathered, either via our feature form or other such form supplied by you to us granting us consent from the individual to process their data. This consent will be given by the individual for the processing of the footage to create the project as specified. Each use for the footage must be specified. Any future uses of the footage requiring new processing of the data for a different purpose or project will require additional consent.

This consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous and is the joint responsibility of us and you to gather.

At the time of obtaining consent, individuals are made aware that they are able to withdraw consent at any time but also that this would not render processing prior to withdrawal to be unlawful.

We and our clients may have a legitimate interest to continue to use and process personal data even if an individual has withdrawn their consent for the business to do so including but not limited to:

i) where there is a real business interest being pursued in continuing to process the personal data;
ii) the processing is absolutely necessary in order for you to pursue that interest (i.e. the interest cannot be pursued in another way which is proportionate); and
iii) the processing is balanced against the impact such processing will have on the fundamental rights and freedoms of data subjects.

6. How long we keep your data
We keep your data only for as long as we need it. How long we need data depends on what we are using it for, whether that is to provide services to you, for our own legitimate interests (described above) or so that we can comply with the law.

We will actively review the information we hold and when there is no longer a customer, legal or business need for us to hold it, we will either delete it securely or in some cases anonymize it. Raw, un processed video footage and files will be stored for a maximum of 20 years unless otherwise agreed with you.

We protect your personal data against unauthorised access, unlawful use, accidental loss, corruption or destruction. We use technical measures such as but not limited to encryption and password protection to protect your data and the systems they are held in.
