This website, www.vpltd.com, is operated by Virtual Programming Ltd ("we", "us", "our", "VPLTD"), a company registered in England and Wales.
Virtual Programming Ltd is the data controller for the personal information described in this policy. We handle personal information in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
This policy explains what personal information we collect when you use this website and our related services (contacting us, requesting a porting assessment, subscribing to updates, or applying for a role), how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have. "Personal information" means information that, on its own or combined with other information, could identify you.
We do not operate user accounts, forums or a store on this website, and we do not knowingly collect special-category data. Please don't send us sensitive personal information through the website.
| We use your information to… | Our lawful basis (UK GDPR) |
|---|---|
| Respond to your enquiry and discuss a potential porting project | Legitimate interests / steps to enter into a contract |
| Provide the services or information you request | Contract / legitimate interests |
| Send you relevant business updates or newsletters you have asked for | Consent (you can opt out at any time) |
| Keep the website secure and working, and improve it | Legitimate interests |
| Measure website usage through analytics, if introduced | Consent (via a cookie banner) |
| Handle a job application | Legitimate interests / steps toward a contract |
| Meet our legal and regulatory obligations | Legal obligation |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have balanced those interests against your rights. Because this is a business-to-business site, most contact will be in a professional capacity.
This site currently uses only essential cookies — needed for it to function and stay secure (for example, keeping your session and protecting our forms). These cannot be switched off.
We do not currently use analytics, advertising or other tracking cookies. If we introduce analytics or other non-essential cookies in future, we'll show a cookie banner that lets you accept or reject them, and we'll update this section. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work if you disable them.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:
Some of our service providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, we ensure an appropriate safeguard is in place (such as the UK's adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum) so your information receives an equivalent level of protection.
We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected — for example, enquiry correspondence for as long as needed to deal with your request and for a reasonable period afterwards, and only longer where we have a legal obligation to retain it.
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss or damage. No transmission over the internet can be guaranteed 100% secure, so any transmission is at your own risk.
Under UK data protection law you have the right to: access a copy of your information; ask us to correct or erase it; restrict or object to our use of it; request portability; and withdraw consent at any time where we rely on it (for example, marketing emails carry an unsubscribe link).
To exercise any of these, contact [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) — ico.org.uk — though we'd appreciate the chance to help first.
This is a business website not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact [email protected] and we will delete it.
Our site may link to third-party websites (for example partner studios or platform holders). We are not responsible for their privacy practices; please review their own privacy policies.
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Significant changes will be highlighted where appropriate.
