Who we are

Hopclover Studios is a trading name of Clive Holmes Ltd ("we", "us", "our"), registered in England and Wales, company number 01109337, registered office The Island, 41 Mill Road, Christchurch, Dorset, BH23 2JY.

We are the data controller for the personal data described here. Data protection queries: [email protected]. General enquiries: [email protected].

What we collect

Enquiry details

your name, company, email address, the dates you want, how many people are attending, which space you are interested in, and whatever you tell us about the shoot. Collected from the booking form on this site, or by email or phone.

Booking records

quotes, confirmations, hire agreements and equipment check-in and check-out records, generated during your booking.

Access requirements

any accessibility or access needs you choose to tell us, used only to support your visit.

Marketing preferences

whether you have asked to receive updates from us.

We do not ask for special-category data, and this website does not take payment. If you go on to book, payment is handled separately under the hire agreement.

Why we use it

Answering your enquiry and quoting

to take steps at your request before entering a contract, and our legitimate interest in responding to you.

Managing a booking and equipment hire

performance of a contract.

Health, safety and security at the studio

legal obligation, and our legitimate interests.

Financial and tax records

legal obligation.

Marketing updates

your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal data and we do not share it for advertising.

We share it only where necessary: with caterers or suppliers if you ask us to arrange something for your booking, and then only the details needed such as headcount and dietary requirements; with our professional advisers such as our accountant, insurer or solicitor; and with authorities where the law requires it.

Where a provider operates outside the UK we make sure an appropriate safeguard is in place, such as UK adequacy or standard contractual clauses.

How long we keep it

Enquiries that do not become bookings

12 months.

Booking and contract records

7 years.

Financial records

6 years plus the current year, as HMRC requires.

Marketing consent

until you withdraw it.

How we protect it

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to keep personal data secure, and we limit access to the people who need it. Enquiries sent through this site are transmitted over an encrypted connection and delivered to a mailbox we control.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask us to give you a copy of your data, correct it, erase it, restrict or object to how we use it, or provide it in a portable form. You can withdraw consent for marketing at any time.

To exercise any of these, email [email protected]. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, though we would rather you came to us first so we can put it right.

Cookies and third parties

This website sets no cookies of its own, and we use no analytics and no advertising or tracking technology. We do not profile visitors.

Two third-party services are loaded so the site works:

Google Fonts

serves the typefaces used on the site. Your browser requests the font files from Google, which means Google receives your IP address as part of that request.

Cloudflare Turnstile

runs on the booking page only, to tell real visitors from automated spam. It may set a short-lived cookie for that check. Cloudflare states it is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date it was last updated is shown below.
