Identity and Role of the Data Controller

scoopkixa acts as the data controller for personal data processed through this website. We are responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing your personal data in connection with our specialised courses on live production decks, control rooms, multi-camera switching, live broadcasting techniques, real-time video operation, and professional management of television and streaming productions. Our operations are based in the United Kingdom.

Scope of This Notice

This privacy notice applies to all visitors to our website, individuals who enquire about or enrol in our courses, and anyone who interacts with our contact form or other services. It covers data collected online and through any related communications. The notice does not apply to third-party websites linked from our site.

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 contact details such as name and email address, course preferences, professional background information relevant to broadcasting and production, and technical data such as IP address and browser type. We may also receive data from service providers who assist with website functionality.

Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases

We process personal data for the following purposes: responding to enquiries and providing course information on the basis of legitimate interests or consent; administering course registrations and payments under contractual necessity; sending service-related communications under legitimate interests; and improving our website and course offerings under legitimate interests. Each purpose is supported by an appropriate legal basis under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Requirement to Provide Data

Providing certain personal data is necessary to respond to your enquiries or enrol in courses. If you do not supply required information, we may be unable to process your request or deliver the requested services. Optional data helps us tailor course recommendations but is not mandatory.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure functionality and analyse usage. Details are set out in our separate Cookie Policy, which you can access via the site-wide cookie banner. You can manage preferences through your browser settings or the banner controls in line with PECR requirements.

Processors, Recipients and Disclosures

We share personal data with trusted service providers such as hosting companies, payment processors, email delivery services, and course management platforms. These processors act under our instructions and subject to appropriate contracts. We may disclose data where required by law or to protect our rights.

International Transfers

Some service providers may be located outside the United Kingdom. Where transfers occur, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved under UK GDPR to ensure your data receives an adequate level of protection.

Retention Periods

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes outlined. Enquiry data is typically kept for up to two years; course records for up to six years to meet legal and accounting obligations; and marketing consent records until you withdraw consent. Specific criteria include legal requirements and the need to resolve disputes.

Security and Data Minimisation

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access or loss. We minimise the data we collect to what is strictly necessary for each purpose and regularly review our practices.

Your Data Subject Rights

Under UK GDPR you have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details on our Contacts page or via the contact form. We will respond within one month.

Withdrawing Consent and Objecting to Marketing

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us. You can also object to direct marketing or profiling at any time. Unsubscribe links are included in marketing emails where applicable.

Right to Complain

If you are unsatisfied with our handling of your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority. Contact details are available on the ICO website.

Children and Age Restrictions

Our courses are intended for adults and professionals in the broadcasting industry. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18. 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 use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or significant effects on individuals. Any analysis of course preferences is used only to improve service delivery and requires human review.

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in law or our practices. The last updated date at the top indicates the current version. We encourage you to review it periodically. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
