How the free-download form handles your email address and marketing choice.
Who handles your information
Mike Staniforth Film Ltd (company number 10636076) is responsible for the personal information collected through this download. Contact: mike@mikestaniforth.com.
What is collected
The form collects your email address, your required MS Free FX Updates membership choice, any separate choice to receive news about other tools, the time of the request and technical security records needed to issue a short-lived download token. It does not require your name, postal address or payment details.
Why it is used
Your email is used to provide and protect the download and to send the MS Free FX patches, compatibility notices and new-version updates you requested by joining MS Free FX Updates. If you separately tick the optional box, Mike Staniforth Film Ltd may also send occasional emails about other useful filmmaking tools and releases.
Storage and retention
The ZIP remains in private Google Cloud Storage. Subscription and consent records are retained in Firebase and mirrored to a restricted Google Sheet until you unsubscribe or request erasure. Historical delivery-only records remain marked for automatic deletion after 30 days. Information is processed using Google and Firebase services, is not sold, and is not made available to other organisations for their own marketing. Security, backup and legal records may take a limited additional period to expire.
Your choices and rights
MS Free FX Updates membership is required to receive the pack. Broader emails about other tools are optional. You can unsubscribe using any email or by contacting mike@mikestaniforth.com; unsubscribing does not affect your licence to versions already downloaded. You may ask to access, correct or erase your information, or object to or restrict processing. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
