Technologies in use.
Our website may use cookies, external font services, analytics tools, or similar technologies to operate correctly, improve performance, understand visitor behaviour, and support a professional website experience.
These may include:
- Essential cookies required for website functionality
- Analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use the website
- Performance or preference cookies, where applicable
- External font requests required to display website typography correctly
Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Non-essential cookies should not be placed before consent has been given.
A separate Cookie Policy may be provided on the website.
The UK Information Commissioner's Office explains that privacy notices should clearly explain what personal data is used for, the lawful basis, retention information, rights, and complaint routes. It also states that non-essential cookie consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and involve a clear positive action.
Typography delivery.
This website uses Google Fonts to display typography consistently across different devices and browsers.
Google Fonts are provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
When you visit this website, your browser may connect to Google servers in order to load the required font files. During this process, technical information such as your IP address, browser information, operating system, and the page you visited may be transmitted to Google.
Google Fonts does not set cookies through this website. However, because font files are loaded from Google servers, Google may receive your IP address and other technical request data.
We use Google Fonts on the basis of our legitimate interest in presenting a consistent, professional, and visually coherent website experience.
Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, appropriate safeguards may apply in accordance with applicable data protection law.
More information about how Google processes data can be found in Google's privacy policy.
For improved privacy, Amygdala Productions Ltd may choose to self-host fonts in the future, which would prevent visitor font requests from being sent to Google.
Marketing communications.
We may send marketing, company, production, or project updates where you have consented to receive them, or where we are otherwise permitted to do so under applicable law.
You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting management@amygdalaproductions.co.uk.
We will not sell your personal data to third parties.
Sharing your personal data.
We may share your personal data with trusted third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this policy. This may include:
- Website hosting providers
- IT and security service providers
- Email and communication platforms
- Analytics providers
- External font service providers
- Legal, accounting, tax, or professional advisors
- Production partners, contractors, or collaborators where relevant to your enquiry or relationship with us
- Festivals, distributors, financiers, sponsors, or industry partners where relevant and appropriate
- Regulators, public authorities, or law enforcement where legally required
We only share personal data where there is a valid reason to do so and, where required, appropriate safeguards are in place.
Cross-border processing.
Some of our service providers, collaborators, or technology platforms may process personal data outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that it is protected in accordance with applicable data protection law. This may include relying on:
- UK adequacy regulations
- The UK International Data Transfer Agreement
- The UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses
- Other legally approved transfer safeguards
How long we keep data.
We only keep personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Retention periods may depend on:
- The nature of your relationship with us
- The type of enquiry or communication
- Whether we have an ongoing business, production, contractual, or legal relationship
- Legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory requirements
- The need to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
- Whether continued retention is reasonably necessary for production, rights management, partnership, or business record purposes
As a general guide:
| Type of Data | Typical Retention Approach |
|---|---|
| General website enquiries | Kept for as long as needed to respond and manage the enquiry, then deleted or archived when no longer required |
| Business, production, supplier, contractor, sponsor, or partner records | Kept for the duration of the relationship and for a reasonable period afterwards |
| Legal, tax, accounting, and contractual records | Kept as required by applicable legal, tax, accounting, or limitation periods |
| Marketing data | Kept until you unsubscribe, withdraw consent, or we decide the data is no longer required |
| Technical website logs | Kept for a limited period required for security, diagnostics, and website operation |
| Analytics data | Kept according to the retention settings of the analytics tool used, where applicable |
If we no longer need your personal data, we will delete it, anonymise it, or securely archive it.

Protecting personal data.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
These measures may include secure hosting, access controls, password protection, encryption where appropriate, and limiting access to personal data to those who need it for legitimate business purposes.
However, no website, email system, or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should take care when sending confidential or sensitive information electronically.
