Privacy Policy

Last updated: 19 September 2026

Identity and role of the data controller

celebnewsza 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 personal information in connection with our 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, and we comply with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Scope of the notice and the people it covers

This privacy policy 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 cookie banner. It covers personal data collected from users located in the United Kingdom and explains how we handle information when you browse, submit enquiries, or participate in our commercial offerings.

Categories of personal data and the sources from which they are obtained

We collect contact details such as names and email addresses through the contact form, along with any additional information you voluntarily provide about your professional background in broadcasting or production. Data may also include technical information from your device such as IP address and browser type, obtained directly from you or through automated means when you visit the site. No data is sourced from third-party brokers.

Purpose-by-purpose explanation of processing and the legal basis for each purpose

We process your data to respond to course enquiries under the legal basis of legitimate interests and to fulfil enrolment contracts where applicable. For marketing communications about new course dates we rely on consent. Technical data supports website functionality under legitimate interests, while cookie preferences are managed in line with PECR consent requirements.

Whether providing data is required and the consequences of not providing it

Providing your name and email address is necessary to receive responses to enquiries or to enrol in courses. If you choose not to supply this information we may be unable to process your request or deliver the requested services. Technical browsing data is collected automatically but you can limit it through browser settings or our cookie banner.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences and improve site performance. A separate cookie policy explains the types of cookies used and how to manage them. Please refer to that document for full details on consent mechanisms and withdrawal options.

Processors, service-provider categories, recipients, and disclosures required by law

We engage service providers such as hosting companies, email delivery platforms, and analytics tools to support our operations. These processors act under our instructions and are bound by data processing agreements. We may disclose data when required by law, regulation, or legal process to competent authorities.

International transfers and the safeguards used when they apply

Some of our service providers may be located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases we ensure appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by the UK authorities are in place to protect your data during transfer and processing.

Specific retention periods or defensible criteria for deciding them

Enquiry data is retained for up to two years after the last interaction to allow follow-up on course opportunities. Enrolment records are kept for seven years to meet accounting and legal obligations. Technical logs are deleted after twelve months unless needed for security investigations.

Security and data-minimisation practices

We implement technical and organisational measures including encryption, access controls, and regular reviews to protect personal data. We collect only the minimum information necessary for each purpose and encourage users to avoid sharing sensitive details beyond what is required.

All applicable data-subject rights and a practical method for exercising them

You have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. To exercise these rights please contact us using the details on our contacts page or email [email protected]. We will respond within one month and may request identification to verify your request.

The right to withdraw consent and object to direct marketing or profiling

Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected] or using unsubscribe links in communications. You can also object to direct marketing or any profiling activities by writing to the same address or using the contact form.

The right to complain to the competent supervisory authority for the target country

If you are not satisfied with our response you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority, via their website or by post to their office address.

Children or age restrictions when relevant to the audience

Our courses are intended for adults aged eighteen and over who are pursuing professional development in media production. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under eighteen and will delete any such information discovered.

Automated decision-making and profiling

We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Any analysis of user behaviour is limited to improving course recommendations and is subject to your consent or objection rights.

Policy changes and the effective or last-updated date

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or our practices. The last updated date appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the website after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
