Privacy Notice

BENCH-MARK, visually branded BENCHMARK MUSIC, is an independent record label website associated with DJ Hermit and Daniel Ward.

Booking enquiries submitted through this form are emailed to info@benchmark-music.co.uk. That address is an enquiry contact only and does not establish Big Drum Records as the legal owner or data controller.

The site is hosted through Vercel. The hosting service may process technical request and security information needed to deliver, protect and troubleshoot the website, such as IP address, request time, requested URL, browser/device details and error information. The exact retention period and controller arrangements for those hosting logs have not been confirmed.

The site uses locally served application assets and fonts. No localStorage, sessionStorage, site cookies or automatic booking-form persistence were found in the application.

• Website operation and security: technical information may be processed on the basis of legitimate interests in operating and securing the site.
• Booking enquiries: information submitted through the booking form is emailed to info@benchmark-music.co.uk and used to respond to an enquiry and arrange requested discussions. The lawful basis and retention period still need confirmation before launch.
• Optional video: YouTube is loaded only after an explicit choice to enable the player. That choice is the basis for connecting to the optional third-party video service.

The joint mix is initially represented by a locally hosted image. If you choose “Enable YouTube & play”, an embedded YouTube player is created and YouTube or Google may process information and use cookies or browser storage. The embedded URL uses YouTube’s privacy-enhanced domain, but this does not mean that no personal data or tracking occurs.

The site does not currently run analytics or marketing scripts. External links, including YouTube and social platforms, are controlled by their own operators once you leave or connect to them.

International processing, provider contracts and safeguards have not been independently established for this preview and must be confirmed before publication.

No retention period can be stated for hosting security logs or booking enquiries because the relevant hosting configuration and provider retention details have not been confirmed.

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights to access, correct, erase or restrict use of personal information, object to processing, receive a portable copy, and withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. These rights are qualified and may not apply in every case.

You can disable the YouTube player using the control beneath it. This removes the iframe but cannot erase information already sent to YouTube.

Contact details for the responsible legal entity must be added before launch. You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/.
