inquiriko acts as the data controller for the purposes of this privacy policy. We are responsible for determining how and why your personal data is processed in connection with our professional hub for live television production courses. Our operations are based in the United Kingdom and we comply with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Scope of This Notice

This notice applies to all visitors to our website who interact with our services, including individuals enquiring about studio equipment integration, camera techniques, acoustic optimisation, lighting setups and production processes. It covers data collected through the contact form, cookie banner and any other interactions on the site.

Categories of Personal Data and Sources

We collect personal data such as name, email address, phone number, enquiry details and technical information including IP address and browser type. This information is obtained directly from you when you submit the contact form or interact with the site. We do not obtain data from third-party sources unless required by law.

Purposes of Processing and Legal Basis

We process your data to respond to enquiries about our courses, to deliver relevant information on live television production and to maintain the website. The legal bases include consent for marketing communications, legitimate interests for service improvement and contractual necessity where you enrol in a course. Each purpose is explained in detail to ensure transparency under UK data protection law.

Requirement to Provide Data and Consequences

Providing certain personal data is necessary to use the contact form or access course information. If you do not provide required information we may be unable to respond to your enquiry or process your request. Optional data fields allow you to share additional details at your discretion.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance functionality and analyse usage. A site-wide cookie banner allows you to manage preferences. Please refer to our separate Cookie Policy for full details on the types of cookies used and how to control them in line with PECR requirements.

Processors, Recipients and Legal Disclosures

We share personal data with trusted service providers such as hosting companies, email platforms and analytics tools that act as processors under contract. Data may also be disclosed where required by law, regulation or court order to regulatory bodies or law enforcement authorities.

International Transfers

Some processors may be located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases we ensure appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses approved under UK GDPR are in place to protect your data during transfer.

Retention Periods

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes outlined. Enquiry data is typically kept for two years after the last contact unless a longer period is required for legal or regulatory reasons. Technical logs are retained for a shorter period aligned with security needs.
