Privacy Policy
Last updated: 13 November 2026
This policy explains what personal information Wight Productions collects, why we collect it and what we do with it. It applies to this website and to the video production, photography and related services we provide.
Who we are
Wight Productions is a trading name of MRTL Limited, a company registered in the United Kingdom with company number 04892213. Our registered office is Fortis House, Cothey Way, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 1QT. MRTL Limited is the data controller for the information described in this policy and is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office.
If you have any questions about this policy or your information, email [email protected] or call 01983 530530.
The information we collect
- Enquiries. When you use our contact form, email us or call us, we collect your name, email address, phone number and whatever you tell us about your project.
- Client and project information. If you become a client we hold contact details for the people we work with, billing details, and the briefs, scripts and other material you give us.
- Footage and photographs. Our work involves filming and photographing people. Where you can be identified in footage or images, that is your personal information.
- Website usage. With your consent, we collect information about how visitors use this website through cookies and similar technologies. See our Cookie Policy.
How we use it and our legal basis
| What we do | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Reply to enquiries and prepare quotes | Legitimate interests, and steps taken at your request before entering a contract |
| Plan, produce and deliver work for clients | Performance of a contract |
| Invoicing, accounts and tax records | Legal obligation |
| Filming and photographing people | Legitimate interests or consent, depending on the project |
| Website analytics | Consent |
| Showing completed work in our portfolio | Legitimate interests, with the agreement of our client |
When we film or photograph on behalf of a client, the client usually decides how the footage is used and is the data controller for it. In those cases we handle the footage on their instructions, and questions about its use are best directed to them. We are happy to pass a request on.
Who we share it with
We do not sell personal information. We share it only where needed to run our business and deliver our work:
- Suppliers who provide services to us, such as website hosting, email, cloud storage and file transfer, video hosting, accounting software and website analytics.
- Freelance crew and editors working with us on a project, who are bound by confidentiality.
- The client who commissioned the work.
- Professional advisers, insurers, HMRC and other authorities where the law requires it.
Some of these suppliers store information outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens we rely on safeguards recognised under UK data protection law, such as adequacy regulations or approved contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
- Enquiries that do not lead to work are deleted within two years.
- Client, contract and financial records are kept for six years after the end of the tax year they relate to.
- Project footage and photographs are kept for as long as agreed with the client, and may be archived after delivery so that future edits can be made.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete;
- ask us to delete your information, or to restrict how we use it;
- object to our use of your information where we rely on legitimate interests;
- ask for your information in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent.
To use any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will reply within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

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