14. Children’s Privacy
Our website and general studio booking services are primarily intended for adults.
We do not knowingly seek personal information from children through ordinary website enquiry forms without an appropriate lawful basis or required parental or guardian involvement.
Where children participate in recordings, appropriate permission, supervision, and legal safeguards must be established before recording and any subsequent publication.
If you believe that personal information concerning a child has been collected or used inappropriately, please notify us through our Contact Us page.
15. Studio Recordings and Privacy
Audio and video recordings may contain identifiable personal information, including participants’ names, images, voices, and statements.
The permitted processing, retention, delivery, and publication of recordings will depend on the agreed recording arrangements and applicable law.
Clients organizing recording sessions must notify participants about the nature of the recording and its intended use and obtain any legally required permissions.
ABIMS Media Studio will not treat participation in a private recording session as automatic permission to use identifiable footage for unrelated promotional purposes.
Requests concerning recordings will be assessed with regard to privacy rights, intellectual property rights, contractual arrangements, and applicable legal obligations.
16. Third-Party Websites and Platforms
Our website may include links to external websites, social media platforms, or embedded third-party content.
These services may collect information independently under their own privacy policies.
We do not control the privacy practices of independently operated external websites.
We recommend reviewing their policies before providing personal information or interacting with those services.
17. Automated Decision-Making
We do not intend to make decisions about eligibility for ordinary studio bookings solely through automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.
If we introduce processing involving such decisions, we will provide the information, safeguards, and rights required by applicable law.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our operations, services, technology, or legal requirements.
