What information may we collect?

The amount of personal information we collect is deliberately limited.

Information you give us

If you contact us by email, we may receive information such as your name, email address and anything else you choose to include in your message.

Technical information

When you visit the site, technical information may be processed automatically as part of operating, securing and delivering the website. This can include information such as an IP address, browser type, device information, requested URLs, timestamps and server or security logs.

Some of this information may be processed by the technology providers that help us host and operate the site.

Why do we use personal information?

We may process personal information where it is necessary to:

• respond to messages, enquiries, correction requests or rights concerns;
• operate and deliver the website;
• maintain the security, reliability and integrity of the site;
• investigate technical problems or misuse;
• comply with legal obligations; or
• protect our legitimate interests in running and improving an independent editorial website, where those interests do not override your rights.

Our lawful bases

Depending on the circumstances, the lawful bases we may rely on under UK data protection law include:

• Legitimate interests — for example, operating, securing and maintaining the website and responding to ordinary enquiries.
• Legal obligation — where we need to process information to comply with a legal requirement.
• Consent — where we specifically ask for your agreement for a particular use of your information.

Services that help us run the website

We use third-party technology providers to operate Movies in the 80s. These providers may process limited technical data as part of providing their services.

Vercel

The website is hosted and delivered using Vercel. Vercel may process technical information associated with website requests, infrastructure, performance and security.

Supabase

We use Supabase for parts of the site's database, content-management, authentication and media storage infrastructure.

Google Search Console

We use Google Search Console to understand how the site is discovered and indexed by Google Search and to identify technical search issues.

We do not sell personal information.

Analytics and advertising

At the date shown at the top of this policy, Movies in the 80s does not state that it uses behavioural advertising or third-party advertising tracking technologies.

If analytics, advertising, affiliate tracking, newsletters or other technologies that materially change how personal information is processed are introduced, this Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy will be updated as appropriate.

Cookies and similar technologies

The site may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for security, authentication or the basic operation of services.

You can read more about these technologies and how we handle them in our Cookie Policy.

How long do we keep information?

We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including any legal, security or administrative requirements.

For example, correspondence may be kept for as long as necessary to deal with an enquiry or maintain an appropriate record of the issue. Technical and security logs may be retained for shorter periods according to operational, security and provider requirements.

International data transfers

Some technology providers we use may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards should be used in accordance with applicable data protection law.

Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights including the right to:

• ask for access to personal information we hold about you;
• ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
• ask us to erase personal information in certain circumstances;
• ask us to restrict how information is used in certain circumstances;
• object to certain processing;
• receive certain personal information in a portable format where the right applies; and
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

These rights are not absolute and may depend on the circumstances and the lawful basis for processing.

To make a request, email hello@moviesinthe80s.com.

Complaints

If you have a concern about how we handle personal information, please contact us first so we have an opportunity to address it.

You also have the right to raise a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection.
