Privacy Policy
We respect your privacy. This page explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we look after it.
Who We Are
Proverb Media is run by Charlie Marsden, a sole trader based in Leicester, United Kingdom. Charlie is the data controller responsible for your personal information.
Questions about this policy? Email charlie@proverbmedia.com or call (+44) 07578622725, Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm.
Information We Collect
- Enquiries: your name, email address, phone number, organisation and project details when you use our contact form, email or call us.
- Production material: video footage, photographs, audio recordings and release or consent forms created during shoots, coaching sessions and workshops.
- Website usage: technical information such as device type, browser, IP address and pages visited, collected through essential site operation and analytics tools.
How We Use Your Information
- To deliver our services — planning, filming, photographing, editing and delivering your project (necessary for our contract with you).
- To reply to enquiries and prepare quotes, and to keep records of our work together (our legitimate interests).
- To send occasional updates or newsletters — only where you have agreed. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email or by contacting us.
- To show our work — featuring projects in our portfolio or social media where you have given permission or it has been agreed with the client.
- To improve our website by understanding how visitors use it.
Cookies & Analytics
Our website uses cookies that are needed for it to work properly. We may also use analytics and advertising tools (such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel) to understand how visitors find and use our site.
Where these non-essential cookies are used, we will ask for your consent first, and you can change your choice at any time. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Who We Share It With
We never sell or rent your personal information. We only share it with trusted services that help us run the business, such as our customer records and email systems for handling enquiries, secure cloud storage and file transfer services for delivering footage, and website hosting and analytics providers.
We may also share information where required by law.
How Long We Keep It
Footage and project files are archived long-term, so we can help with re-edits, new cuts or extra content in the future. If you'd like your project material deleted, just ask in writing and we will do so, unless we need to keep it for legal reasons.
Enquiry and client records are kept for as long as needed to support our working relationship and meet legal and accounting requirements.
Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe.
Keeping It Safe
We take sensible steps to protect your information, using reputable services and limiting access to those who need it.
Your Rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct anything that is wrong or incomplete;
- ask us to delete your information;
- ask us to limit or stop using it, including for marketing;
- withdraw your consent at any time where we rely on it.
To make a request, email charlie@proverbmedia.com. If you're unhappy with how we handle your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
