Last updated: 06 October 2026
Identity and role of the data controller
redcarpetki acts as the data controller for the personal data processed through this website. We are responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing personal data collected from visitors, clients, and other individuals who interact with our services related to professional video operations, live signal management, content distribution, camera work, and the creation of high-quality media feeds for news and broadcasting.
Scope of this notice and the people it covers
This privacy notice applies to all individuals who access or use our website, submit enquiries through our contact form, or otherwise provide personal data in connection with our media feed services. It covers residents of the United Kingdom and explains how we handle data in compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Categories of personal data and sources
We collect personal data such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, company details, and any information submitted via our contact form. Additional data may include IP addresses, browser information, and usage data obtained automatically through cookies and similar technologies. Sources include direct submissions from visitors, data provided during business enquiries, and information collected from website interactions.
Purpose-by-purpose explanation of processing and legal basis
We process personal data for the following purposes: responding to enquiries and providing quotes for media services on the basis of legitimate interests or consent; managing client relationships and contracts under the legal basis of contract performance; improving our website and services through analytics under legitimate interests; complying with legal obligations such as record-keeping; and sending service-related communications under legitimate interests. Each purpose is limited to what is necessary and proportionate.
Whether providing data is required and consequences of not providing it
Providing certain personal data is necessary to respond to your enquiries or deliver services. If you do not provide required information, we may be unable to process your request, fulfil contracts, or offer support. Optional data, such as additional details in forms, can be omitted without affecting core interactions.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance website functionality, analyse usage, and support our media-related services. Details of the specific cookies used, their purposes, and how to manage preferences are set out in our separate Cookie Policy, which is accessible via the site-wide cookie banner.
Processors, service-provider categories, recipients, and disclosures required by law
We share personal data with trusted processors including website hosting providers, email delivery services, analytics platforms, and professional advisors. Categories of recipients include IT support vendors and regulatory bodies where disclosure is required by law. All processors are bound by contracts ensuring data protection standards equivalent to our own.
International transfers and the safeguards used
Some processors may be located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases, we ensure appropriate safeguards such as UK-approved standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions are in place to protect your data during transfers.
Specific retention periods or criteria for deciding them
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary: enquiry data for up to two years after last contact; client contract data for seven years to meet accounting and legal requirements; and technical logs for twelve months. Retention decisions are based on legal obligations, business needs, and data minimisation principles.
Security and data-minimisation practices
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption, access controls, and regular security reviews, to protect personal data. We minimise collection to only what is relevant and do not make absolute guarantees regarding security.
All applicable data-subject rights and practical method for exercising them
You have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection regarding your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details on our Contacts page or via [email protected]. We will respond within one month, subject to verification of identity.
The right to withdraw consent and object to direct marketing or profiling
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected]. You can also object to direct marketing or any profiling activities by using the same contact method or unsubscribing from communications.
The right to complain to the competent supervisory authority
If you are unsatisfied with our handling of your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom. Contact details for the ICO are available on their official website.
Children or age restrictions
Our website and services are intended for professional use by adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 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 or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. Any analytics used are for internal improvement purposes only and do not result in automated decisions affecting visitors.
Policy changes and effective date
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in law or our practices. The effective date of the current version is 06 October 2026. Previous versions are not archived publicly; significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
