Scope of this notice
This privacy notice applies to all visitors to our website, individuals who enquire about or book our courses, and anyone who otherwise interacts with us online or offline in the United Kingdom. It explains how we collect, use and protect personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.
Categories of personal data and sources
We collect identification data such as name and job title, contact details including email address and telephone number, professional information such as employer and role in broadcast production, course booking and payment records, technical data from your device and browsing behaviour, and any information you voluntarily provide through the contact form. Most data is collected directly from you. Some technical data is obtained automatically through cookies and server logs.
Purposes of processing and legal bases
We process data to respond to enquiries and provide course information under the legal basis of legitimate interests or contract performance. We process bookings and payments to fulfil training contracts. We send service-related communications under contract necessity. We maintain records for legal compliance under legal obligation. We analyse website usage to improve services under legitimate interests. Where we rely on consent for marketing emails, you may withdraw it at any time.
Whether providing data is required
Supplying contact and booking information is necessary to receive course details or complete enrolment. Failure to provide required data will prevent us from processing your request or delivering the training. Technical browsing data is collected automatically and you can limit it through browser settings or our cookie banner.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences and measure performance. Details of the specific cookies employed, their purposes and how to manage them are set out in our separate Cookie Policy, which is accessible via the site-wide cookie banner and footer links.
Processors, recipients and disclosures
We engage carefully selected service providers including website hosting, payment processors, email delivery platforms and analytics providers. These processors act only on our documented instructions and are bound by appropriate contracts. We may disclose data to regulators or law enforcement where legally required.
International transfers
Some processors may be located outside the United Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred internationally we rely on UK adequacy regulations where available or put in place appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Retention periods
Enquiry data is retained for two years after the last contact. Booking and payment records are kept for six years to meet tax and accounting obligations. Marketing consent records are retained until consent is withdrawn or for three years, whichever occurs first. Technical logs are deleted after twelve months unless required for security investigations.
Security and data minimisation
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures including encryption in transit, access controls and regular staff training. We collect only the data necessary for the stated purposes and regularly review our processing activities to avoid excessive collection.
Your data subject rights
Under the UK GDPR you have the right to access your personal data, request rectification or erasure, restrict or object to processing, and request data portability where applicable. To exercise any of these rights please contact us using the details above or the contact form on our Contacts page.
Right to withdraw consent and object to marketing
Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw it at any time by emailing [email protected] or using the unsubscribe link in marketing messages. You may also object to direct marketing or profiling at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Right to complain to the supervisory authority
If you believe your data protection rights have been infringed you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority. Contact details and guidance are available on the ICO website.
Children and age restrictions
Our courses are intended for adults working in professional broadcast environments. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of eighteen. If we become aware that data from a child has been collected we will delete it promptly.
Automated decision-making and profiling
We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Any analytics we perform are used solely to improve website content and course offerings.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy notice from time to time to reflect changes in law or our practices. The date of the most recent revision appears at the top of the page. We encourage you to review this notice periodically.
