Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 October 2026

This policy explains what personal data BlackVFX collects through this website, why, and the choices you have.

Who we are

This website is operated by BlackVFX, Black Hangar Studios, Lasham Airfield, Alton, GU34 5SR, United Kingdom. Email blackvfx@blackhangarstudios.com, phone +44 (0) 1256 384235. We are the controller of the personal data described in this policy.

What we collect

We only collect what you choose to send us:

• Contact form: first name, last name, email address and your message.
• Emails and calls: whatever you include when you contact us directly.

Our web server also keeps standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested) for security and to keep the site running.

How we use it

• To reply to your enquiry and discuss your project (our legitimate interests, or steps before entering into a contract).
• To protect the website against spam and misuse (our legitimate interests).

Where it is kept

Form submissions are stored in this website’s WordPress database and sent by email to our team. The website is hosted by Hostinger, which processes data on our behalf. We do not sell your data or share it with advertisers.

Videos and maps

Videos from YouTube and Vimeo only load when you press play. From that moment the provider receives your IP address and may set cookies under its own privacy policy. Map links open Google Maps in a new tab.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiries for as long as needed to deal with them and any project that follows. Server logs are deleted automatically after a short period.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct or delete it, object to or restrict how we use it, and withdraw consent at any time. To do so, contact us using the details above. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
