Business overview

 Wild Edric Media Limited is a small company with fewer than 5 employees. We have two main areas of business:

  • Film & media production.

  • Live-Streaming


Why do we collect data?

We collect data for normal business activities:

  • to complete our projects and contractual obligations

  • to research stories and projects

  • through documents and content supplied to us as part of our work (i.e. film files for review, text for content etc)

  • to market our services to existing and new clients

  • to invoice our clients, pay our suppliers and complete our annual accounts

  • as part of our own due diligence to comply with our public liability and indemnity insurance.

We do not sell or trade data or pass on data to third parties without the specific written permission of the data supplier. For example, if we are asked to recommend a colleague for a job etc.

We will share data if required to do so by law (e.g. by the police or as part of a legal process) or as part of our regular accounting activities (invoicing etc).

We collect data in usual ways:

  • Business to business contact scenarios (trade shows, meetings etc)

How do we store data?

Our contact lists are stored in Apple iOS (Mail & Contacts) and Gmail cloud services All our computers, devices and cloud services are password-protected with antivirus software installed. 


Software

We do not use facial recognition software.

We use some software as part of our workflows that stores data and metadata including:

  • Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom – for photography projects

  • Adobe Premiere Pro/Davinci/After Effects – film editing software

  • Quickbooks – cloud accounting software. 

We understand that data stored on these systems cannot be deleted for legal reasons including the following:

  • Public liability and indemnity insurance purposes.

  • We need to be able to defend our work and back reference projects in case of legal challenge.

  • Data (including film footage and archive material) from old projects/films may be required in future productions

  • Accounting

  • It is a requirement that all invoices and company paperwork should be retained for 7 years for HMRC VAT purposes and longer for income tax purposes.

As such, if you have contributed to a Wild Edric Media project prior to 2018 (e.g. as an interviewee on or off camera or as vox pop etc.) this contribution will remain as part of that published work and as part of the rushes and research material that support that work. For legal reasons, we are required to retain information in the event that we need to defend published work.

As of 2018, anyone contributing to a Wild Edric Media project will be asked to complete a contributor consent form and this will cover data protection and rights. These contributor forms will be kept indefinitely or for as long as the programme/report that they pertain to remains active.
