We determine the purposes and means of processing in connection with the Course A reporting production guide, including story preparation, field updates, studio reports, camera setup and professional workflows for news media. Our registered address is Butler's Wharf Building, 36 Shad Thames, London, SE1 2YE and enquiries may be sent to [email protected].

Scope of this privacy notice

This notice applies to visitors, course participants, prospective customers and anyone who contacts us through the site contact form or interacts with our commercial services. It does not cover third-party websites linked from our pages or any offline activities outside the scope of this site.

Categories of personal data we collect and their sources

We obtain personal data directly from you when you complete the contact form, register interest in the Course A reporting production guide or otherwise communicate with us. Categories include identification details such as name, professional role and organisation, contact information, details of your enquiry relating to news media workflows, technical data such as IP address and browser information collected automatically, and any additional information you voluntarily provide in messages.

Purposes of processing and legal bases

We process personal data for the following purposes, each with its corresponding legal basis under UK GDPR: responding to enquiries and providing information about the Course A reporting production guide on the basis of legitimate interests or consent where required; managing course registrations and delivering the described professional workflows training under contract performance; maintaining site security and preventing fraud on the basis of legitimate interests; and complying with legal obligations such as record-keeping under the Data Protection Act 2018.

Requirement to provide data and consequences of refusal

Supplying certain personal data is necessary to respond to your enquiry or to deliver the Course A reporting production guide services. If you do not provide the required information, we may be unable to complete your request or fulfil the commercial service. You are not obliged to provide data for marketing purposes and can decline without affecting other interactions.

Cookies and similar technologies

The site uses cookies and similar technologies to support essential functions and analyse usage. A separate cookie banner is displayed on first visit. Full details are set out in our Cookie Policy, which you can access via the site footer. We do not use cookies for personalised advertising without your consent.

Processors, recipients and legal disclosures

We engage service providers such as hosting companies, email delivery platforms and analytics providers to support site operation and course delivery. These processors act under our instructions and appropriate contracts. We may disclose data where required by law, court order or to protect our rights, and to professional advisers bound by confidentiality obligations.

International transfers of personal data

Some of our processors may be located outside the United Kingdom. Where transfers occur we rely on UK adequacy regulations or appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office to ensure equivalent protection.

Retention periods

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described: contact enquiry records for up to two years after the last interaction; course participant records for the duration of the service relationship plus six years to meet legal and accounting requirements; and technical logs for up to twelve months unless longer retention is required by law.

Security and data minimisation

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit, access controls and regular reviews, to protect personal data. We collect only the data needed for the stated purposes and delete or anonymise information when it is no longer required.

Your data protection rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection to processing. You may also request that we stop processing for direct marketing. To exercise any right please contact us at [email protected] or via the contact form on our Contacts page, providing sufficient information to verify your identity.

Withdrawing consent and objecting to marketing or profiling

Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected]. You have an absolute right to object to direct marketing and to any profiling undertaken for that purpose. We will cease such processing upon receipt of your objection.

Right to complain to the supervisory authority

If you believe your personal data has been processed unlawfully you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority, at ico.org.uk. We encourage you to contact us first so we may address your concerns directly.

Children and age restrictions

The Course A reporting production guide and this website are intended for professionals and individuals aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18. If we become aware that such data has been provided we will delete it promptly.

Automated decision-making and profiling

We do not engage in automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. Any analytics we perform are used solely for service improvement and do not result in automated decisions about you.

We review this notice periodically and will update it when necessary to reflect changes in law, processing activities or site features. The date of the most recent revision appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
