Privacy Policy

This page explains, in plain language, the rules and practices that apply to ReelKit Studio (ReelKit Studio). We keep it short on purpose and avoid legal jargon where a normal sentence works better.

1. Who we are

ReelKit Studio is an independent publisher of practical guides about filming and editing short-form video with everyday equipment. This policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit this website, why we collect it and what choices you have. The data controller is ReelKit Studio, 16 Harbour Walk, Unit 3, Seattle, WA 98104, United States.

2. What we collect

We keep data collection to a minimum. Depending on how you use the site, we may process the following:

We do not ask for sensitive information and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 16.

• Contact details you type into a form, such as your name, email address and the subject of your message.
• Technical data that every web server receives, such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested.
• Aggregate usage statistics, collected only if you accept optional cookies, such as which guides were opened and how long a visit lasted.

3. Why we process it

We rely on legitimate interests to keep the website secure and to understand which guides are useful, on your consent for optional analytics and marketing cookies, and on the performance of a contract when you ask us to reply to an enquiry.

We never sell personal data, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles of individual readers.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

This website sets a small number of cookies. Essential cookies remember your consent choice; optional cookies help us understand aggregate reading patterns. You can change your choice at any time through the cookie notice or your browser settings. Full details are set out in our Cookie Policy.

5. Sharing and processors

Limited data may be processed by service providers that host the website, deliver email and measure aggregate traffic. These providers act on our instructions and are bound by their own data protection terms. Where a provider transfers data outside your region, the transfer relies on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

6. How long we keep data

Enquiry messages are kept for up to 24 months so that we can follow up on a conversation. Aggregate analytics data is retained for up to 14 months. Consent records are kept for as long as the consent is valid plus a short audit period.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your data, to object to processing based on legitimate interests, to withdraw consent, and to receive data in a portable format. Residents of California and similar jurisdictions may also request disclosure of the categories of data collected. Write to [email protected] and we will respond within the period required by applicable law.

8. Security

The website is served over HTTPS. Access to messages and analytics accounts is limited to the editorial team and protected by strong authentication. No online service can be perfectly secure, so we keep the smallest possible amount of data.

9. Changes and contact

If this policy changes materially we will update the date below and, where appropriate, highlight the change on the site. Questions can be sent to [email protected] or by post to 16 Harbour Walk, Unit 3, Seattle, WA 98104, United States.
