Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 October 2026

Who we are and our role as data controller

breakingvo operates this commercial website as the data controller under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We are responsible for deciding how and why your personal data is processed when you visit our site or use our services related to professional video operations, live signal management, content distribution, camera work, and high-quality feeds for news and broadcasting.

Scope of this notice

This policy explains how we handle personal data of visitors, prospective clients, suppliers and any other individuals who interact with our site based in the United Kingdom. It covers all processing activities carried out via the website, contact forms and any related communications.

Categories of personal data and sources

We collect identification data such as names and job titles, contact details including email addresses and telephone numbers, technical data like IP addresses and browser information, and usage data from site interactions. Information is obtained directly from you through forms, indirectly through analytics tools, and from publicly available sources where relevant to our media services.

Purposes of processing and legal bases

We process data to respond to enquiries on the basis of legitimate interests or consent, to deliver our media feed services under contract, to comply with legal obligations such as record keeping, and to improve site performance using legitimate interests. Each purpose is matched to an appropriate lawful basis as required by UK GDPR.

Whether providing data is obligatory

Supplying certain data is necessary to use contact forms or receive service information. Failure to provide it may prevent us from responding or fulfilling requests, though you remain free to browse limited public content without submitting personal details.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions, analytics and preference storage. Please refer to our separate Cookie Policy for full details on types used and how to manage them via the site-wide cookie banner.

Processors, recipients and legal disclosures

We engage service providers such as hosting companies, analytics platforms and email delivery services acting as processors under contract. Personal data may be disclosed where required by law to regulators, law enforcement or courts, or to protect our rights in connection with media broadcasting operations.

International transfers and safeguards

Some processors may be located outside the UK. In such cases we rely on UK adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses or other appropriate safeguards approved under UK GDPR to protect your data during transfers.

Retention periods and criteria

Enquiry data is retained for up to three years after last contact. Technical logs are kept for twelve months. Contractual records are maintained for six years to meet legal accounting requirements. Retention is determined by business need, legal obligations and the principle of data minimisation.

Security and data minimisation

We implement technical and organisational measures including encryption, access controls and regular reviews to protect data. We collect only the minimum information necessary for each purpose and do not make absolute guarantees against all possible breaches.

Your data subject rights

You have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. To exercise these rights contact us using the details on our Contacts page or via the form provided.

Withdrawing consent and objecting to marketing

Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time. You can also object to direct marketing or profiling by using unsubscribe links or contacting [email protected].

Right to complain to the supervisory authority

If you are dissatisfied you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or by post to their office. We encourage you to contact us first so we can address concerns directly.

Children and age restrictions

Our services are directed at professional clients in the media industry. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18 and the site is not intended for children.

Automated decision-making and profiling

We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or significant effects on individuals.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in law or practice. The effective date appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
