  1. How we use your personal data

Legal basis


The law requires us to have a legal basis for collecting and using your personal data. We rely on one or more of the following legal bases:


  • Performance of a contract with you: Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.

  • Legitimate interests: We may use your personal data where it is necessary to conduct our business and pursue our legitimate interests, for example to prevent fraud and enable us to give you the best and most secure customer experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights (both positive and negative) before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).

  • Legal obligation: We may use your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to. We will identify the relevant legal obligation when we rely on this legal basis.

  • Consent: We rely on consent only where we have obtained your active agreement to use your personal data for a specified purpose, for example if you subscribe to an email newsletter.

Purposes for which we will use your personal data 


We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we plan to use the various categories of your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.



Direct marketing 


You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or services from us and you have not opted out of receiving the marketing.


We may also analyse your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view which products, services and offers may be of interest to you so that we can then send you relevant marketing communications. 


Third-party marketing 


We will get your express consent before we share your personal data with any third party for their own direct marketing purposes. 


Opting out of marketing 


You can ask to stop sending you marketing communications at any time by logging into the site and checking or unchecking relevant boxes to adjust your marketing preferences or by following the opt-out links within any marketing communication sent to you.


If you opt out of receiving marketing communications, you will still receive service-related communications that are essential for administrative or customer service purposes for example relating to membership confirmations, updates to our Terms and Conditions and checking that your contact details are correct.


Cookies


A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added, and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.


We use cookies and similar technologies, including local storage, to ensure that our website and platform function properly and securely. These cookies are necessary for the operation of the platform and enable core functionality such as user authentication, account access, subscription management, video playback, and maintaining your logged in session.


The cookies we use do not typically collect information that directly identifies you. However, they may collect technical information such as your device or browser details, IP address, or session identifiers, which may constitute personal data where required by data protection law. Where this is the case, such data is processed in accordance with this privacy policy.


Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website and platform, they are always active. If you choose to disable or block cookies through your browser settings, some parts of the website or platform may not function correctly, and you may be unable to access certain features or services.


You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Information about how to manage cookies is usually available in your browser’s help or settings section. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the availability and functionality of the platform.


  1. Disclosures of your personal data

We may share your personal data where necessary with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table (Purposes for which we will use your personal data) above.


Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.


We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.


  1. International transfers

We may transfer your personal data to service providers that carry out certain functions on our behalf. This may involve transferring personal data outside the UK to countries which have laws that do not provide the same level of data protection as the UK law.


Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK to service providers, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that the following safeguards are in place: 


  • We may use specific standard contractual terms approved for use in the UK which give the transferred personal data the same protection as it has in the UK, namely the International Data Transfer Agreement. To obtain a copy of these contractual safeguards, please contact us using the Contact details (10).  


  1. Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. 


We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.


  1. Data retention

How long will you use my personal data for?


We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.


To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.


By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.


In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see 9 below for further information.


In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.


  1. Your legal rights

You have a number of rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. 


You have the right to:


  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

  • Request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying out profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object.

  • You also have the absolute right to object any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (see OPTING OUT OF MARKETING in 4 for details of how to object to receiving direct marketing communications). 

  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data (see the table in section 4 for details of when we rely on your consent as the legal basis for using your data). However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in one of the following scenarios:

  • If you want us to establish the data's accuracy;

  • Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;

  • Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or

  • You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please see Contact details (10).


No fee usually required


You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.


What we may need from you


We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.


Time limit to respond


We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

  1. Complaints

We take your privacy seriously and are committed to handling your personal data fairly, lawfully and transparently. We welcome feedback and take any concerns about how we collect, use, share or protect personal data seriously. If you believe we have not handled your personal data appropriately, or if you have concerns about our compliance with data protection law, please let us know so we can investigate and put things right.


How to give feedback or make a complaint


Wherever possible it would be helpful if you could discuss any feedback or concerns with us informally first, as we may be able to resolve your concerns without the need for a formal complaint.


However, if you feel we cannot resolve your concern informally, or if the issue is of such a serious or sensitive nature that you do not feel comfortable raising it informally, please feel welcome to raise your concerns as a formal complaint under this policy.


How to make a formal complaint under this policy


To enable us to investigate and provide a thorough response to your concerns, we will need to form a good understanding of the issues. We would welcome hearing from you by email with a brief explanation of:


  • A brief description of your concern and what you believe has happened.

  • How you would prefer to be contacted about your complaint going forward.

  • If there is anything in particular that you would like us to do to resolve your complaint.

Please address your concerns to hello@studionira.com


What happens after I have made a complaint under this policy? 


We will:


  • Send a written acknowledgement of your complaint within 5 working days of receiving it.

  • Investigate your concerns diligently, impartially and fairly. This may include reviewing your account and related records and use.

  • Let you know promptly if we need any further information from you to assist our investigation.

  • Write to you to provide a formal response to complaint setting out the conclusion of our investigation and any proposals to rectify or resolve the matter.

  • We will ask you to let us know whether we have succeeded in resolving your concerns and, if you accept any proposals made, we will fulfil the proposals promptly.

There is no fee for making a complaint and we will not charge you for investigating and responding to your concerns.


Your complaint will be investigated and handled independently to your account or membership. This means that if your membership is ongoing it will continue to progress as normal and will not be affected or disadvantaged by the complaints process, assuming that you continue to comply with these terms. 


Identity Verification 


To protect your data, we may need to verify your identity before we can provide information, make changes to your account, or take action in response to your request. If we ask for additional information for verification, we will only request what is necessary and proportionate.


Do I have to pay my bill if I am complaining?


Our terms provide that our invoices remain payable within 30 days regardless of the investigation of any complaint. 


However, please be assured that if the outcome of any complaint investigation concludes that any adjustment or reduction in costs should be made, any reimbursement will be paid promptly at that time.


How long will it take?


We will aim to conclude our investigation and provide our response as quickly as possible. Although we will always aim for sooner, the process may take up to eight weeks from receipt of your complaint.


In exceptional circumstances it may be necessary to extend these timescales. If this occurs, we will let you know in writing and will try to agree any variation with you first.


Escalation to the Information Commissioner’s 


We hope we can resolve any concern directly. However, you also have the right to raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve your concerns before you approach the ICO.


  1. Changes to the privacy policy and your duty to inform us of changes  

We keep our privacy policy under regular review. This version was last updated on 26 January 2026. 


It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us, for example a new address or email address.
