Identity and Role of the Data Controller
editormapry acts as the data controller for the purposes of this privacy policy. We are responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through our website and services related to specialised courses in live production decks and control rooms. Our operations are based in the United Kingdom and we comply with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Scope of the Notice and the People It Covers
This notice applies to all visitors to our website, individuals who enquire about or enrol in our courses on multi-camera switching, live broadcasting techniques, real-time video operation and professional management of television and streaming productions, as well as anyone who interacts with our contact form or provides information through the site-wide cookie banner. It covers personal data processed in the United Kingdom and does not extend to third-party websites linked from our pages.
Categories of Personal Data and Sources
We collect personal data directly from you when you use the contact form, submit enquiries or register for courses. Categories include identification details such as name, contact information including email address and telephone number, professional background relevant to broadcasting and production, and technical data such as IP address and browser type obtained automatically through cookies and similar technologies. We do not obtain data from third-party sources unless you provide explicit consent for referrals.
Purpose-by-Purpose Explanation of Processing and Legal Basis
We process your data to respond to course enquiries under the legal basis of legitimate interests and to fulfil contractual obligations when you enrol. Marketing communications are sent only with your consent. Analytics data supports service improvement under legitimate interests. Each purpose is documented to ensure processing remains necessary and proportionate to our commercial activities in the United Kingdom.
Whether Providing Data Is Required and Consequences
Providing contact details through the form is necessary to receive responses about our courses. Failure to supply required information may prevent us from processing your enquiry or completing enrolment. Technical data collected via cookies is optional and can be managed through the cookie banner without affecting core site functionality.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience and gather analytics. A site-wide cookie banner allows you to manage preferences. Please refer to our separate Cookie Policy for detailed information on the types of cookies used and how to control them in line with PECR requirements.
Processors, Service-Provider Categories and Recipients
We engage trusted processors including hosting providers, email services and payment processors to deliver our courses. These parties receive only the data necessary to perform their functions and are bound by contractual safeguards. Disclosures may occur when required by law or to protect our legal rights, always limited to the minimum required.
International Transfers and Safeguards
Some processors may be located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases we rely on UK adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office to ensure an adequate level of protection for your personal data during any transfer.
Specific Retention Periods or Criteria
Enquiry data is retained for up to two years to manage follow-ups. Course enrolment records are kept for seven years to meet accounting and legal obligations. Technical logs are deleted after twelve months unless needed for security investigations. Retention periods are reviewed regularly against our operational needs.
Security and Data-Minimisation Practices
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures including encryption, access controls and regular security assessments to protect personal data. We collect only the data necessary for the stated purposes and encourage users to provide minimal information where possible.
All Applicable Data-Subject Rights
You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, port your data and object to processing. To exercise these rights please contact us using the details on our Contacts page or by emailing [email protected]. We will respond within one month as required by UK GDPR.
Right to Withdraw Consent and Object to Direct Marketing
Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected] or using unsubscribe links in communications. You can also object to direct marketing or profiling at any point without affecting other services.
Right to Complain to the Competent Supervisory Authority
If you are dissatisfied with our handling of your data you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority, via their website or by post to their office in Wilmslow.
Children or Age Restrictions
Our courses are intended for individuals aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18. If we become aware that such data 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 significant effects on individuals. Any analytics are used solely for internal service improvement.
Policy Changes and Effective Date
We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or our practices. The last updated date appears at the beginning of the document. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
