Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 September 2026

1. About Necton Films

Necton Films is a personal, non-commercial hobby website operated by Trevor.

The website is an informal archive of films made privately by Trevor and his friends and colleagues between approximately 1970 and 1995.

The films were made as a hobby and were never produced or distributed as commercial productions.

The purpose of Necton Films is to preserve these old films and make them available for former friends, colleagues and others connected with them to watch, enjoy and remember people, places and events from the past.

The website does not sell films, offer commercial film services or operate for profit.

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled when you visit Necton Films, contact Trevor, leave a comment or otherwise interact with the website.

2. Who is responsible for your personal information?

The website is operated by:

Trevor

Email: nectonfilms@outlook.com

Location: England, United Kingdom

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or the way personal information is handled, please contact Trevor at:

nectonfilms@outlook.com

3. What personal information may be collected?

Necton Films does not operate advertising, behavioural tracking or visitor analytics.

However, some personal information may be processed when you interact with the website.

This may include:

• your name;
• your email address;
• information you provide through the contact form;
• comments that you choose to post on films or pages;
• your IP address and certain technical information associated with comments or website visits, where this is automatically recorded by WordPress, the website hosting provider or security systems; and
• information contained in a request concerning your appearance, name or other personal information published on the website.

You should avoid providing sensitive or unnecessary personal information when using the contact form or posting comments.

4. People appearing in the films

The films featured on Necton Films were privately made by Trevor and his friends and colleagues between approximately 1970 and 1995.

Some people appearing in the films are identifiable. Names of people involved in the films may also be included alongside individual films.

The purpose of publishing this information is to preserve and share the films as a historical and nostalgic archive, allowing former friends and colleagues to watch the films and remember people, places and events from the past.

Necton Films is operated on a non-commercial basis and personal information is not used for advertising or commercial promotion.

Where applicable, Trevor relies on legitimate interests as the lawful basis for processing personal information in connection with the historical and nostalgic archive.

The legitimate interest is the preservation and sharing of privately made historical films and associated information for the benefit of former friends, colleagues and others with a genuine connection or interest in the material.

Trevor recognises that individuals have privacy rights and will consider reasonable objections and removal requests relating to the publication of a person’s name, image or appearance.

5. Your right to object

Where personal information is processed on the basis of legitimate interests, you may have the right to object to its use.

If you object to the publication of your personal information, name or appearance on Necton Films, please contact Trevor at:

nectonfilms@outlook.com

Your request will be considered carefully, taking into account the reason for the objection, the historical purpose of the website, the nature of the material and your privacy interests.

Where appropriate, material will be removed, amended or otherwise restricted.

6. Requests to remove a person or information

If you appear in one of the films, photographs, credits or other material on Necton Films and would prefer not to be featured, please contact Trevor.

Email:

nectonfilms@outlook.com

Please provide the name of the film or page concerned and explain what material you would like removed or changed.

Requests will be treated sympathetically and considered as soon as reasonably practicable.

Where appropriate and reasonably possible, Trevor may:

• remove a person’s name;
• remove or amend information about a person;
• remove a photograph or other identifying material;
• remove or edit a film;
• restrict access to particular material; or
• request removal or restriction of the relevant video from the third-party video service on which it is hosted.

Because some films are hosted by third-party services such as YouTube and Vimeo, removing material from Necton Films may not remove copies or versions held independently by those services.

7. Contact form

Necton Films contains a contact form.

Information submitted through the contact form may include your name, email address and the contents of your message.

This information is used to respond to your enquiry or request.

Contact information will not be used for unrelated marketing purposes.

Contact form messages are sent to and may be stored in the email account:

nectonfilms@outlook.com

The email service is provided by Microsoft.

8. Comments

Visitors may be able to leave comments on individual films or pages.

Comments are intended to allow former friends, colleagues and other visitors to share memories, information and observations relating to the films.

Comments may be publicly visible.

You should therefore take care not to publish personal information about yourself or another person that you would not want to be publicly available.

WordPress may process information associated with comments, including the name and email address supplied when a comment is submitted and technical information such as an IP address.

This information may be used to display and manage comments, prevent spam and maintain website security.

Comments may be moderated or removed where they are:

• offensive or abusive;
• unlawful;
• defamatory;
• inappropriate;
• unrelated to the website;
• likely to cause unnecessary harm or distress;
• containing unnecessary personal information; or
• otherwise unsuitable for publication.

9. WordPress and technical information

Necton Films is built using WordPress.

Although Necton Films does not use visitor analytics or advertising tracking software, WordPress and the website’s hosting infrastructure may automatically process certain technical information required to operate and secure the website.

This may include:

• IP address;
• browser type;
• device type;
• operating system;
• date and time of access;
• pages requested; and
• other technical information required to operate or secure the website.

This information is not used by Necton Films to build visitor profiles or for targeted advertising.

Some third-party services used by the website may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where this happens, the relevant service provider is responsible for its own data protection arrangements and safeguards.

Further information can be obtained from the relevant provider’s privacy policy.

15. How long personal information is kept

Personal information will only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Contact form correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with the enquiry and any follow-up.

Comments may remain on the website while they are relevant and appropriate.

Comments may be removed at any time where appropriate.

Information relating to a privacy or removal request may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to keep a record of the request and the action taken.

Technical information may be retained by the website hosting provider in accordance with its own retention policies.

16. Security

Reasonable measures are taken to protect personal information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

This includes maintaining the website and associated software appropriately and limiting access to website administration and associated accounts.
