Who controls your information

Old Mill Pictures is operated by Shane Hatton and is the controller of personal data collected through this website. Privacy enquiries can be sent through the contact page.

Information collected and why

The site processes basic technical information needed to deliver pages securely, prevent abuse, diagnose faults and maintain the service. This may include an IP address, browser and device details, requested pages, timestamps and security logs. The legal basis is legitimate interests in operating and protecting the website.

If a visitor sends an enquiry, Old Mill Pictures processes the name, contact details and message supplied in order to respond, discuss services or take steps requested before entering a contract. Please do not send sensitive information through the contact form unless it is necessary.

Optional analytics

With the visitor’s consent, the site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand visits and website use. The measurement ID is G-YXLN4PYV1J. Google Analytics does not load unless Analytics is selected in Privacy settings. Google Signals, user-provided data collection, granular location and device collection, and advertising personalisation are disabled.

Google Analytics may use cookies including _ga and a property-specific _ga_<container-id> cookie. Event data is retained for two months and user data for fourteen months; retention is not reset by new user activity.

External media

Embedded YouTube or Vimeo videos and Google Maps are blocked until the visitor selects External media. If enabled, those providers may receive device and network information and may set cookies under their own policies.

Privacy choices

The site stores the visitor’s optional choices in local browser storage and in the oldmill_privacy_choices cookie for up to one year. These records are necessary to remember the choice. Visitors can change their selection at any time using the Privacy settings button.

Recipients and international transfers

Information may be processed by service providers supporting website hosting, security, email and analytics. Where providers process information outside the European Economic Area, Old Mill Pictures relies on applicable safeguards such as an adequacy decision or approved contractual clauses.

Retention

Enquiries and business correspondence are retained only as long as reasonably needed for the enquiry, contractual, accounting or legal purposes. Security records are retained only as needed to protect and maintain the service.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, individuals may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection, and may withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing. Requests can be made through the contact page. Individuals may also complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.

Other points

Old Mill Pictures does not sell personal data, use it for personalised advertising, or make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects through automated processing. This notice may be updated when the site, providers or legal requirements change.
