EXTERNAL WEBSITE LINKS AND THIRD PARTIES
Although we only look to include quality, safe and relevant external links, users are advised to adopt a policy of caution before clicking any external web links mentioned throughout this website.
We cannot guarantee or verify the contents of any externally linked website despite our best efforts. Users should therefore note that they click on external links at their own risk and we cannot be held liable for any damages or implications caused by visiting any external links mentioned.
CLIENT DATA HELD ON FILE
We take care of the processes around looking after personal data stored on our physical systems. Storybox Films holds the following personal data of clients:
Names
Addresses
Phone numbers
this data is only used in order to respond to your enquiry for Storybox Films to provide wedding photography and videography services and is accessed through 2 workstations, both heavily password protected.
If you decide to book the photography and/or videography services of Storybox Films these details are held within soft copy and sometimes hard copy contracts, as well as soft copy and hard copy wedding client ‘day plan’ documents. Soft copy contracts and day plans are safely stored within my password-protected iMac and backed on an encrypted external hard drive. Hard copy contracts are filed in my secure office.
Client photos are safely stored within my password-protected iMac and backed up to two encrypted external hard drives. An additional cloud copy of all images is stored on GDPR-compliant Dropbox.
CLIENTS AND WEDDING GUESTS CAPTURED IN VIDEO AND PHOTOS
Under GDPR legislation, a photograph may in some instances constitute a form of personal data where they can be processed to allow “the unique identification or authentication of a natural person”. Storybox Films will never photograph an individual as a means of unique identification or authentication unless consensually contracted to do so. Guests at weddings appear in photos and videos taken by Storybox Films as a part of the visual recording of the event in photos and video. Guests captured in portraits or in group photos do so as part of the event and their rights are protected by Storybox Films as detailed in this privacy policy.
In terms of explicit GDPR compliance, Wedding clients and guests are photographed and filmed within the parameters of GDPR legislation on the basis of ‘legitimate interests’. The taking of photographs and/or filming of wedding guests when viewed as a form of processing personal data is necessary for the legitimate interests of Storybox Films given the individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests.
Operating within the parameters of legitimate interests as laid out in GDPR legislation, the disproportionate effort involved in providing privacy policy information to all wedding guests at the event and the degree to which it would distract us from performing our job renders it infeasible to do. Wedding clients are therefore requested in their contract to direct their guests to read this privacy policy in advance of the event and to advise them to contact us in advance with any concerns around the processing of their personal data, namely being photographed and/or filmed.
WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT
Anyone photographed and/or filmed by Storybox Films, whether a client or wedding guest, and whether past or current may withdraw consent for a photograph/video in which they appear to be displayed. The process for this is to email Storybox Films at james@storyboxfilms.co.uk specifying the photo in question. Pursuant to the request, Storybox Films will then remove the photo from the online and printed display wherever it appears within 30 days of the request.
SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY & USAGE
We adopt a safe and responsible Social Media Policy. While we may have official profiles on social media platforms, users are advised to verify the authenticity of such profiles before engaging with or sharing information with such profiles. We will never ask for personal details on social media platforms. Users are advised to conduct themselves appropriately when engaging with us on social media.
DISPLAY OF IMAGES
We may display any photographs and/or videos to promote Storybox Films’ wedding blogs, on wedding photography/videography-related websites, in advertising, brochures, magazine articles and other such material, providing that the images used are used lawfully and without damage to Storybox Films client(s). The rights of the people captured in these photographs are protected by Storybox Films as detailed in this privacy policy.
