Last updated: 2 July 2026
M1 Studios Limited ("M1 Studios", "we", "us", "our") is a creative agency based at Fusion Hive, North Shore Innovation Centre, Office 2.12, Stockton-on-Tees. We are the data controller for the personal data collected through this website. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at hello@m1studios.co.uk.
1. What personal data we collect
We collect contact and booking details when you use our booking button to schedule a call via Google Calendar (your name, email address, and any details you provide). We also collect analytics data through Google Analytics, including IP address, device and browser type, pages visited, and referral source. We do not collect special category data and do not knowingly collect data from children.
2. How we use your data
We use your data to respond to enquiries and manage bookings, understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it, and meet our legal and accounting obligations where relevant.
3. Our legal basis for processing
Under UK GDPR we rely on consent for non-essential cookies and analytics tracking, legitimate interests to respond to enquiries and improve our website, and contract where processing is necessary to deliver a service you have requested. You can withdraw consent at any time via your cookie preferences.
4. Third parties we share data with
We use Google Analytics for website usage analytics, Google Calendar for appointment booking, and Framer as our website hosting provider. These providers may process data outside the UK/EEA, subject to appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses. See Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy for details. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
5. How long we keep your data
Analytics data is retained according to our Google Analytics settings, typically up to 14 months. Booking and enquiry data is kept only as long as necessary to deliver the service or meet legal and accounting requirements, then deleted or anonymised.
6. Cookies
This site uses cookies for essential functionality and, with your consent, for analytics via Google Analytics. See our Cookie Policy for full details on what cookies we use and how to manage your preferences.

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, object to or restrict certain processing, request data portability, and withdraw consent at any time.
