Identity and Role of the Data Controller
scooptrixel acts as the data controller for the personal data processed through this website. We are responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing your information in connection with our Course A reporting and visual media guide services. Our registered office is at 1 London Bridge Street, London, SE1 9GF, United Kingdom and we can be contacted via email at [email protected] for any data protection queries.
Scope of This Privacy Notice
This notice applies to all visitors to our website who interact with our commercial offerings in the United Kingdom. It covers individuals who access information about story planning, camera framing, studio coordination, lighting setup and organised workflows for news content. The notice explains how we handle data collected directly from you or through automated means during your use of the site.
Categories of Personal Data Collected
We collect contact details such as names and email addresses submitted through forms, technical data including IP addresses and browser information, and usage data relating to how you navigate pages about our visual media topics. Sources include direct input from visitors, cookies placed on your device and analytics tools that record interaction patterns with content on reporting techniques.
Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases
Personal data is processed to respond to enquiries about our services, to improve website functionality for users interested in news workflows, to comply with legal obligations and to send service-related updates. The legal bases include legitimate interests in operating a commercial site, consent where explicitly given for marketing communications and contractual necessity when you request information on course materials.
Requirement to Provide Data and Consequences
Supplying certain information is necessary to receive responses to your queries or to access specific resources on our site. If you choose not to provide required details we may be unable to process your request or deliver tailored guidance on camera framing and studio coordination topics.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience and gather analytics on engagement with visual media content. For full details on the types of cookies employed and your options for managing them please refer to our separate Cookie Policy which is accessible via the site-wide cookie banner.
Processors, Recipients and Legal Disclosures
We engage trusted service providers such as hosting companies, analytics platforms and email delivery services to support our operations. These processors act only on our instructions and under appropriate contracts. We may also disclose data where required by law or to protect our legal rights in connection with content related to organised news workflows.
International Transfers of Data
Some of our service providers may be located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases we rely on appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses approved under UK data protection law to ensure your information receives an adequate level of protection during transfers.
Data Retention Periods
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this notice. Enquiry data is typically kept for up to two years after the last interaction while technical logs are retained for shorter periods to support security and site improvement efforts.
Security and Data Minimisation Practices
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access or loss. Data collection is limited to what is relevant for the stated purposes and we regularly review our practices to avoid unnecessary processing of information about visitors interested in lighting setup and reporting courses.
Your Data Subject Rights
Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act you have rights to access your data, request rectification or erasure, restrict processing and obtain a copy of your information in a portable format. To exercise these rights please contact us at [email protected] providing sufficient detail to identify your records.
Withdrawing Consent and Objecting to Marketing
Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected]. You also have the right to object to direct marketing communications and to any profiling activities we may undertake in relation to your use of the website.
Right to Complain to the Supervisory Authority
If you are not satisfied with our handling of your personal data you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK supervisory authority responsible for data protection matters.

Our website and services are directed at adult professionals and are not intended for individuals under the age of eighteen. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children and will delete any such information that comes to our attention.
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. Any analytics used are for internal improvement of content related to visual media guides and do not result in automated outcomes affecting visitors.
