Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026

Identity and Role of the Data Controller

reportigo operates as the data controller for the purposes of this privacy policy. We are responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through our professional hub dedicated to live television production training. Our activities focus on studio equipment integration, dynamic camera techniques, acoustic optimisation, lighting setups and reliable production processes for news programmes, interviews and live shows. As a commercial website based in the United Kingdom we comply with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.

Scope of the Notice and the People It Covers

This notice applies to all visitors, prospective students, course participants and other individuals who interact with our website or provide personal data in connection with our services. It covers data collected when you browse our pages, submit enquiries via the contact form, register interest in courses or otherwise engage with our platform. The policy does not extend to external websites linked from our content or to third-party services that operate independently of reportigo.

Categories of Personal Data and Sources

We collect personal data directly from you when you complete forms or contact us. Categories include identification details such as name and address, contact information including email address and telephone number, professional background relevant to television production, technical preferences concerning equipment and techniques, and website usage data obtained through cookies. We may also receive limited information from service providers who assist with website hosting or analytics, always subject to appropriate contractual safeguards.

Purpose-by-Purpose Explanation of Processing and Legal Basis

Personal data is processed for several distinct purposes. First, to respond to enquiries and manage course registrations we rely on the legal basis of contract performance or steps taken at your request prior to entering a contract. Second, to improve our training materials on studio integration and production processes we process usage data under the legitimate interest of enhancing service quality. Third, to send occasional updates about new courses or events we rely on consent where required or legitimate interest for existing contacts. Fourth, to comply with legal obligations such as tax or regulatory record-keeping we process data under the legal basis of compliance with law. Each purpose is assessed to ensure the processing remains necessary and proportionate.

Whether Providing Data Is Required and Consequences

Providing certain personal data is necessary to access our services. For example, an email address and name are required to submit a contact form enquiry or to enrol on a course. If you choose not to supply this information we may be unable to respond to your request or deliver the requested training. Other data, such as optional preferences about lighting setups or camera techniques, are not mandatory and you may still use core features of the site without providing them.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enable essential functions, analyse usage patterns and remember user preferences. A separate cookie policy explains the types of cookies deployed, their purposes and how you can manage your preferences. You should refer to that document for detailed information on cookie categories and consent mechanisms required under PECR.

Processors, Service-Provider Categories and Recipients

We engage trusted processors to support our operations. These include website hosting providers, email delivery services, payment processors for course fees and analytics platforms that help us understand visitor behaviour. All processors are bound by data processing agreements that restrict their use of data to our instructions. We may also disclose personal data where required by law to regulatory authorities, law enforcement bodies or in connection with legal proceedings.

International Transfers and Safeguards

Some of our processors may be located outside the United Kingdom. When personal data is transferred to such jurisdictions we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner or reliance on adequacy regulations where applicable. These measures protect your data to a standard equivalent to UK data protection law.

Retention Periods and Criteria

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Enquiry records are kept for up to three years after the last contact. Course participant data is retained for seven years to meet accounting and regulatory requirements. Usage data from cookies is retained for periods ranging from a few months to two years depending on the cookie type. Data is deleted or anonymised once retention periods expire unless a longer period is required by law.

Security and Data-Minimisation Practices

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration or loss. These include encryption of data in transit, access controls and regular security reviews. We apply data-minimisation principles by collecting only the information strictly needed for each purpose and by regularly reviewing stored data to remove what is no longer required.

Data-Subject Rights and How to Exercise Them

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to request rectification of inaccurate information, to request erasure in certain circumstances, to restrict processing, to data portability where applicable and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. To exercise any of these rights please contact us using the details on our Contacts page or by writing to Beaconsfield Studios, Station Road, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire HP9 1LG or emailing info@nfts.co.uk. We will respond within one month of receipt of a valid request.

Right to Withdraw Consent and Object to Direct Marketing

Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting info@nfts.co.uk or using the unsubscribe link in any marketing communication. You also have the right to object to direct marketing at any time and we will cease such processing without undue delay. Objections to profiling or automated processing can be raised using the same contact methods.

Right to Complain to the Competent Supervisory Authority

If you are dissatisfied with how we handle your personal data you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. Contact details for the ICO are available on their official website. We encourage you to contact us first at info@nfts.co.uk or +44 1494 671234 so we can attempt to resolve any concerns directly.

Children and Age Restrictions

Our courses and website content are intended for individuals aged eighteen years and over who are pursuing professional development in live television production. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under eighteen. If we become aware that data has been provided by someone under this age we will delete it promptly.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not engage in automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Limited profiling may occur for analytics purposes to understand visitor interests in specific production techniques, but this does not result in automated decisions affecting individuals.

Policy Changes and Effective Date

We review this policy regularly and may update it to reflect changes in law, technology or our processing activities. The last updated date appears at the beginning of the document. Continued use of the website after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. For questions about this notice please contact info@nfts.co.uk or +44 1494 671234.
