Introduction

Martin Whiskin of Martin Whiskin Voiceover is the controller for the purposes of this privacy policy and all personal data handed over in the course of use of its services.

If you use any of my services, nobody else has control of your data – it's just me, Martin – and I won’t sell it or give it away.

Collection and use of your personal data

There are 2 ways I’ll obtain personal information from you as client:

If you make an enquiry:
I’ll need your name and contact details (email address as a minimum) so I can get back to you. I rely on legitimate interests for this. Once I’ve handled your enquiry, I’ll keep your personal data for a maximum of 2 years unless you sign up to my mailing list.
If you buy one of my services
I’ll need your name, address, organisation, and payment details. I rely on the contract basis for this, as well as complying with a legal requirement (tax). I am obligated to keep financial records for 7 years,. Once the project is finished, I’ll keep your details for a maximum of 7 years - I may introduce new offers or services that will be of interest. I rely on legitimate interests for this, but you can opt-out of this at any time by getting in touch.
