Privacy Policy
Privacy information for visitors to Multi Source Media and people who contact the site.
In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean the publisher responsible for Multi Source Media. Confirmed legal operator details and a postal address will be added here when they are supplied.
What this policy covers
This policy explains how personal data may be handled when you visit Multi Source Media or contact the publisher. It covers this website and messages sent through the contact route. A streaming service, advertising provider, social platform or other website reached through a link is responsible for its own processing and privacy information.
Information you provide
If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you include. This may include your name, organisation, the subject of your enquiry and any supporting material you choose to send. Please provide only what is needed. Do not send passwords, payment details or unrelated sensitive information.
We use contact information to read and respond to a message, assess a proposed correction, consider an editorial enquiry, deal with a privacy or rights request, protect the site and keep an appropriate record of the exchange. The basis for processing depends on the context and may include legitimate interests in operating and improving an editorial website, taking steps requested by you, compliance with a legal obligation or consent where that is the appropriate basis.
Technical website information
Hosting and security systems may process technical request information needed to deliver and protect the website. This can include an internet protocol address, date and time, requested address, referring page, browser or device information, response status and diagnostic or security events. These records may be used to keep the service available, investigate faults, detect misuse and understand aggregate demand.
Advertising and third parties
The site is configured to use Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may process information such as online identifiers, device information, interactions and cookie data to deliver, limit, secure and measure advertising, subject to applicable requirements and the choices available. Google is responsible for explaining its own processing. Our Cookie Policy describes cookies and the current status of on-site consent controls.
Links to film distributors, streaming services, game publishers, retailers or other third parties do not give us control over their privacy practices. Review the destination's information before providing it with personal data.
Sharing personal data
We do not sell information supplied in editorial or privacy enquiries. Information may be processed by providers that support website hosting, security, email or advertising. It may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to obtain professional advice, establish or defend legal rights, respond to a lawful requirement, protect people or systems, or complete a change in the operation of the publication. Access should be limited to what is needed for the relevant purpose.
Retention and security
Information is kept only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including an appropriate period for records, security, dispute handling and legal obligations. Different records can therefore have different retention periods. Reasonable organisational and technical measures may reduce risk, but no internet or email system can promise absolute security.
Your rights and choices
Depending on the circumstances and the law that applies, you may have rights to ask for access to personal data, correction, erasure, restriction, objection or portability, or to withdraw consent without affecting earlier processing. These rights can have conditions and exceptions. You may also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
Use the Contact page for a privacy question or request. Explain what you are asking for and how you interacted with the site. We may request proportionate information where needed to understand the request or confirm identity. Browser controls and advertising choices are described in the Cookie Policy.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be revised when the site's operation, providers or legal information changes. The current version will be published on this page. Material changes should be reflected in the wording rather than hidden in an unrelated notice.
