reportivar operates this website as the data controller under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We determine the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through the site. Our registered address is Unit 2 Mundells Court, Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, AL7 1EN, United Kingdom and you may contact us using [email protected] or +44 20 8236 1212 for any data protection queries.

Scope of this notice

This privacy notice applies to all visitors and users of the website who interact with our professional resources on studio production in motion. It covers data collected from individuals in the United Kingdom and explains how we handle information when you browse course materials, submit enquiries via the contact form or use the site-wide cookie banner.

Categories of personal data and sources

We collect identification details such as name and email address when you use the contact form. Technical data including IP address, browser type and device information is gathered automatically. Usage data such as pages visited and time spent on studio equipment, camera operation or lighting workflow sections is recorded through server logs. All data originates directly from you or your device unless obtained through essential service providers.

Purposes and legal bases for processing

We process contact details to respond to enquiries under the legal basis of legitimate interests and contract performance. Technical and usage data supports site functionality and security under legitimate interests. Cookie preferences are managed to comply with PECR consent requirements. Marketing communications are sent only with your explicit consent under Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR.

Whether providing data is required

Supplying contact information through the form is voluntary yet necessary to receive a response. Refusing to provide it means we cannot assist with your query. Technical data is collected automatically and cannot be refused without disabling essential site features.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use strictly necessary cookies for core functionality and obtain consent for analytics and preference cookies via the site-wide banner. Full details appear in our separate Cookie Policy which you can access from the footer. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting browser settings or revisiting the banner.

Processors, recipients and legal disclosures

Service providers such as hosting companies, email delivery platforms and analytics tools act as processors under contract. We may disclose data to law enforcement or regulators when required by law. No other routine sharing occurs.

International transfers

Some processors may be located outside the UK. We rely on UK adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office to protect your data during such transfers.

Retention periods

Contact form data is retained for 24 months after the last correspondence. Technical logs are kept for 12 months for security analysis. Consent records for cookies are stored until you withdraw consent or for a maximum of three years.

Security and data minimisation

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures including encryption in transit and access controls. Data collection is limited to what is necessary for the stated purposes and we regularly review storage volumes.

Data subject rights

You may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or objection to processing by emailing [email protected]. We respond within one month and may extend this by two further months for complex requests. Verification of identity will be required.

Right to withdraw consent and object to marketing

Where processing relies on consent you can withdraw it at any time without affecting prior lawful processing. You may also object to direct marketing by using the unsubscribe link in emails or contacting us directly.

Right to complain

If you are dissatisfied with our response you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or by telephone on 0303 123 1113.

Children and age restrictions
