Privacy Policy

 

1. Who We Are

This website is operated by Andy Turner Matthews (a UK-based experimental filmmaker and photographer). The website is entirely personal and non-commercial. Its sole purpose is to showcase my film and photography portfolio for film festival promotion.

 

For the purposes of data protection, I am the "Data Controller."

 

2. What Personal Data We Collect

Because this website does not require user accounts, provide newsletters, or involve direct sales, I do not actively ask for your personal information (such as your name or email).

 

However, as you browse my site, Wix (my website host) automatically collects standard technical information, including your IP address, device type, browser settings, and general site activity. You can review Wix's data practices in the Wix GDPR FAQ.

 

3. How and Why We Use Your Information

I use your technical data solely for the following purposes:

• To present and operate the website: Ensuring videos and images load correctly on your device.

• To improve site performance: Tracking broad, anonymous traffic analytics so I can see which of my films are most popular.

The lawful basis for processing this technical data is my "legitimate interest" in running a secure, functional portfolio for my creative work.

 

4. Third-Party Services & Links

I do not actively sell anything on this website, nor do I share your data with advertisers. However, this website may in future contain external links to SmugMug, where you may be able purchase my location photographs.

6. Your Rights

Even though you are just a visitor, you have rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any data I may hold about you, although in practice, I do not store identifiable information about casual visitors.

 

If you have any questions or concerns about how your data is handled, you can contact me directly at: andysurrey5@icloud.com.

 

If you remain unsatisfied with how your data is treated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)
