ONSIDE PRODUCTIONS LTD Data Processing & Privacy Policy
Last updated: 25 May 2018

Onside Productions Ltd (“Onside”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

For the purpose of the Data Protection Act 1998 and subsequent data protection legislation (the “Act”) the data controller is Onside Productions Ltd, 28 Priory Road, Hucknall, United Kingdom, NG15 6PE.

THE POLICY

This policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be treated. This Includes what we do with it; who we disclose it to; and what controls you have.

The General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”) is a new regulation which replaces the Data Protection Regulation (Directive 95/46/EC). The objective of the Regulation is to harmonise data protection legislation across European Union (“EU”) member states, enhancing privacy rights for individuals and providing a strict framework within which commercial organisations can legally operate.

Even though the United Kingdom (“UK”) has expressed its intention to leave the EU during the course of 2019, the GDPR will be applicable in the UK from 25 May 2018. The UK Government intends for the GDPR to continue in UK law post the point in time which the UK exits the EU and has also introduced a Data Protection Bill to replace the current Data Protection Act in due course to align the UK with the EU data protection framework.

Your new rights under the GDPR are set out in this policy but will only apply once the GDPR becomes law on 25 May 2018.

Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

Please read this privacy policy carefully. Where you provide us with your personal information in person, by e-mail, through our websites or via any other method (including via LinkedIn and other professional networking sites), you consent to the collection and use of this information by Onside in accordance with this privacy policy.
