When you use the website
The website may process limited technical information that is necessary for its operation, security and reliability.
We do not currently use this information to build advertising profiles or marketing databases.
3. How we use your information
We use personal information where necessary to:
- Process and fulfil purchases.
- Provide access to purchased footage and downloads.
- Send order confirmations and transactional communications.
- Provide customer support.
- Respond to enquiries.
- Maintain records of purchases and licences.

Scotland Stock does not currently use customer information for marketing emails, newsletters or targeted advertising.
4. Our lawful bases for using your information
Data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis for processing personal information. Depending on the circumstances, Scotland Stock may rely on the following:
Contract
We use information where it is necessary to process and fulfil a purchase or provide services requested by you.
This includes processing orders, providing downloads, administering licences and providing customer support relating to a purchase.
Legal obligation
We may process and retain information where necessary to comply with legal, tax, accounting or regulatory obligations.
Legitimate interests
We may use information where it is reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes, such as maintaining the security of the website, preventing fraud or misuse, maintaining appropriate business records and responding to disputes.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider whether the processing is necessary and proportionate and whether it would reasonably be expected by the individual.
5. Who we share information with
Scotland Stock does not sell customer information.
We may share information with service providers where this is necessary to operate Scotland Stock and provide the services described above.
Stripe
Stripe processes payment and transaction information when you purchase footage.
Website and service providers
We may use third-party providers to host and operate the Scotland Stock website and associated services. These providers may process limited technical or personal information where necessary to provide those services.
Email service providers
Transactional emails, such as purchase confirmations, download information and customer support communications, may be delivered using a third-party email service operating on behalf of Scotland Stock.
The specific email provider may change over time.
We may also disclose information where necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect our rights or prevent fraud, abuse or other unlawful activity.
6. International processing
Some of the service providers used by Scotland Stock may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, Scotland Stock will take reasonable steps to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and that appropriate safeguards are in place where required.
7. How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required by law.
Purchase and transaction records may need to be retained for tax, accounting and legal purposes.
Customer email addresses and purchase information may also be retained where reasonably necessary to provide ongoing access to previously purchased footage, assist with future download requests, provide customer support or establish the details of a previous licence.
We do not retain personal information indefinitely simply because it has been collected. Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted or anonymised where reasonably practicable.
8. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights under UK data protection law including the right to:
- Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Ask us to delete personal information where there is no longer a lawful reason for us to retain it.
- Ask us to restrict how your information is used in certain circumstances.
- Object to certain types of processing.
- Ask for certain information to be provided in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent where we rely on consent as our lawful basis.
These rights are subject to certain legal exceptions. For example, information may need to be retained where required by law.

9. Cookies and similar technologies
Scotland Stock may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the operation, security and functionality of the website.
At launch, Scotland Stock does not use advertising or marketing cookies.
If non-essential analytics, tracking or other cookies are introduced in the future, Scotland Stock will update its Cookie Policy and, where required, obtain the appropriate consent before using them.
Further information is provided in the Cookie Policy.
10. Security
Scotland Stock takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
Payment information is processed through Stripe rather than being stored directly by Scotland Stock.
No internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we will take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold.
11. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Scotland Stock, the services we use or applicable data protection requirements.
The latest version will always be made available on the Scotland Stock website.
Where a significant change affects how we use personal information, we will take reasonable steps to make the change clear.
