Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 September 2026

Identity and role of the data controller

editorzep acts as the data controller for the purposes of this privacy policy. We are responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through our website, which provides an editorial workflow resource covering article planning, script editing, newsroom coordination, and production-ready media content. Our registered address is 16 High Holborn, London, WC1V 6BX, United Kingdom and we can be contacted at [email protected].

Scope of the notice and the people it covers

This notice applies to all visitors to our website who are located in the United Kingdom. It covers personal data we process when you browse the site, submit enquiries via the contact form, or otherwise interact with our commercial services. It does not apply to data processed by third-party sites linked from our pages.

Categories of personal data and the sources from which they are obtained

We collect personal data directly from you when you use the contact form, including your name, email address and any message content you provide. We also collect technical data such as IP address, browser type and usage statistics automatically through server logs and cookies. No data is obtained from third-party sources.

Purpose-by-purpose explanation of processing and the legal basis for each purpose

We process contact form data to respond to enquiries on the basis of legitimate interests in providing customer support. Usage data is processed to improve site functionality and security under the same legal basis. Cookie data for essential operations relies on the strict necessity exemption under PECR, while non-essential analytics cookies require consent under UK GDPR and PECR.

Whether providing data is required and the consequences of not providing it

Providing contact details through the form is voluntary, but without them we cannot respond to your enquiry. Technical data is collected automatically and you cannot prevent this without disabling essential site features.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies as described in our separate Cookie Policy, which you can access via the site-wide cookie banner. The banner allows you to manage your preferences in line with PECR requirements.

Processors, service-provider categories, recipients, and disclosures required by law

We engage service providers such as hosting providers and analytics platforms that act as processors under contract. We may disclose data to law enforcement or regulatory authorities where required by law.

International transfers and the safeguards used when they apply

Some processors may be located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases we rely on UK adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office to ensure an adequate level of protection.

Specific retention periods or defensible criteria for deciding them

Contact form data is retained for twelve months after the last correspondence. Usage logs are kept for six months for security purposes. Cookie consent records are stored for the duration of the consent period plus one year.

Security and data-minimisation practices

We apply technical and organisational measures including encryption in transit and access controls. We minimise the data we collect to what is necessary for the stated purposes and do not make absolute guarantees regarding security.

All applicable data-subject rights and a practical method for exercising them

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection under UK GDPR. To exercise these rights please email [email protected] with details of your request. We will respond within one month.

The right to withdraw consent and object to direct marketing or profiling

Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected]. We do not engage in direct marketing or automated profiling.

The right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

If you are dissatisfied with our response you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Children or age restrictions

Our services are intended for professional users aged eighteen and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Automated decision-making and profiling

We do not perform automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or significant effects.

Policy changes and the effective or last-updated date

We may update this policy periodically. The current version was last updated on 18 September 2026. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
