Privacy notice

Last updated: 3 November 2026

We're a small film studio and we keep this simple: we only collect what we need to reply to you and to make your film, we never sell it, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

Who we are

Notice. is a film studio based in Cirencester, run by Gerry Vasbenter and Andy Parker. We're responsible for the personal information described in this notice. You can contact us about anything here at [email protected] or on 07973 194502.

What we collect

• When you get in touch: your name, email address, and anything else you choose to tell us, such as your organisation, phone number, project details, timescale and how you feel about AI in your film.
• When we work together: contact and billing details, and the emails, plans and files we share during the project.
• When we film you: your image and voice, and any consent or release forms you sign.

We don't use advertising or analytics cookies, and we don't track you around the web.

How we use it, and why

• To reply to your enquiry and prepare a quote. We do this because you've asked us to, and so we can take steps towards working together.
• To make and deliver your film. This is needed to carry out our agreement with you.
• To use footage of people we've filmed. We rely on the consent or release you give us, and we use the footage only in the ways agreed.
• To keep accounts and meet our legal duties, such as tax and VAT records.
• Occasionally, to share news of our work with past clients. This is in our legitimate interest, and you can ask us to stop at any time.

Who else handles it

We never sell your information. We use a few trusted services to run the studio, and they handle information only on our behalf:

• Google Workspace, for our email and files, and to receive messages from our enquiry form.
• Cloudflare, which hosts this website.
• Vimeo, which plays the films on this site. We ask Vimeo not to track visitors, and its player only loads when a film plays or appears in the background.
• Google Fonts, which supplies the lettering on this site. Your browser fetches the fonts from Google.

Some of these services may process information outside the UK. Where they do, they use the safeguards UK data protection law requires.

We may also share information with our accountant, or where the law requires it.

How long we keep it

• Enquiries that don't go ahead: up to 2 years, then deleted.
• Client and financial records: 6 years, as UK tax rules require.
• Footage and consent forms: for as long as the film is in use, plus a reasonable period afterwards in case questions arise.

Your rights

You can ask us to:

• see the information we hold about you
• correct anything that's wrong
• delete your information
• stop or limit how we use it
• give you a copy to take elsewhere

Just email [email protected]. We'll reply within one month, and there's no charge. If you've agreed to something, such as being filmed, you can withdraw that consent, though it won't affect what we've already done with it.

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Keeping it safe

We keep your information in password-protected accounts with two-step sign-in, and only Gerry and Andy have access.

Changes

If we change how we handle your information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
