Your privacy is important to us. It is DualityMedia's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you across our website, https://www.dualitymedia.co.uk, and other sites we own and operate.
When you visit our website, our servers may automatically log the standard data provided by your web browser. This data is considered “non-identifying information”, as it does not personally identify you on its own. It may include your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type and version, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on each page, and other details.
We may also collect data about the device you are using to access our website. This data may include the device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, device settings, and geo-location data. What we collect can depend on the individual settings of your device and software. We recommend checking the policies of your device manufacturer or software provider to learn what information they make available to us.
We may ask for personal information, such as your:
We may also capture additional personal data if you provide personal data within a non-mandatory field of our contact form(s) on the website.
This data is considered “identifying information”, as it can personally identify you. We only request personal information relevant to providing you with a service, responding to your communication request or improving the quality of our service.
Additional personal information (such as billing information, further identity data or communication data) may be requested upon entering into a service agreement with us, however this information will not be stored/collected through the website.
We collect information by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent. We also let you know why we’re collecting it and how it will be used. You are free to refuse our request for this information, with the understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired services without it.
We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:
Direct interactions. You may give us your Identity, Contact and Financial Data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. This includes personal data you provide when you:
Automated technologies. As you interact with our website, we may automatically collect technical data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We use implementation of the third-party services Google Analytics and Google reCAPTCHA on our website to achieve this. More information on this is available in the third-party access to information section of the privacy policy.
Primarily the data collected is used to allow us to provide you our services as well as for analytics, SPAM prevention and contacting you if you have requested us to do so via our contact form(s).
We may use a combination of identifying and non-identifying information to understand who our visitors are, how they use our services, and how we may improve their experience of our website in future. We do not disclose the specifics of this information publicly, but may share aggregated and anonymised versions of this information, for example, in website and customer usage trend reports.
If you have given us your written consent to do so (opt-in), we may, very rarely, use your personal details to contact you with updates about our website and services, along with promotional content that we believe may be of interest to you. If you wish to opt out of receiving this communication contact us and we will immediately stop sending it to you.
The personal information we collect is stored and processed in the United Kingdom, or where we or our partners, affiliates and third-party providers maintain facilities. We only transfer data within jurisdictions subject to data protection laws that reflect our commitment to protecting the privacy of our users.
We only retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide a service, or to improve our services in future. While we retain this data, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. That said, we advise that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and cannot guarantee absolute data security. If a data security breach occurs, those who may have been affected will be contacted as soon as possible.
If you request your personal information be deleted, or where your personal information becomes no longer relevant to our operations, we will erase it from our system within a reasonable timeframe.
Enquiries made via the website contact submission form that are not continued further (either through written communication by you or DualityMedia or communications that have not had a response from you within 3 months of the previous email being sent by DualityMedia) will be deleted/removed from our storage.
If you have agreed to work with DualityMedia on a project, as standard your personal data will only be kept for the period of time we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (this could be to allow us to comply with legal requirements, communicating important information regarding your project or resolving issues). If some of the data we have retained is not necessary for our legitimate business needs we will only retain it for as long as necessary for full completion of the project and short term support (project period plus 3 months).
Once we no longer have a legitimate business need to retain this data, it will be deleted within a reasonable timeframe from our storage.

Cookies are used to enable certain features (eg. logging in), to track site usage (eg. analytics), to store your user settings (eg. timezone, notification preferences), and to personalise your content (eg. advertising, language).
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are normally referred to as “first-party cookies”, and typically only track your activity on that particular site.

These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. We use performance cookies on our site.
We may employ third-party companies and individuals on our websites—for example, analytics providers and content partners.
