Last updated: 23 September 2026

Identity and role of the data controller

journovory acts as the data controller for the purposes of this privacy notice. We are responsible for deciding how and why your personal data is processed when you interact with our professional resource dedicated to studio production in motion.

Scope of the notice and the people it covers

This notice applies to all visitors to our website, individuals who register for or access our course materials, and anyone who contacts us through the site-wide contact form. It covers processing carried out in the United Kingdom and explains how we handle data under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

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

We collect identification details such as your name and email address when you use the contact form. Usage data including IP address, browser type and pages visited is gathered automatically. Information about your professional interests in studio equipment, camera operation, lighting and sound may be provided voluntarily when you engage with our resources. All data is obtained directly from you or through your device interactions.

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

We process contact data to respond to enquiries under the legal basis of legitimate interests. Usage data supports site functionality and improvement on the basis of legitimate interests. Where you consent to marketing communications we rely on consent. Course access records are kept to fulfil our contractual obligations to registered users.

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

Providing contact details through the form is optional but necessary if you wish to receive a response. Refusing to supply data will prevent us from assisting with your query. You may browse most content without providing any personal information, though some interactive features will be unavailable.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences and analyse traffic. Please refer to our separate Cookie Policy for full details on the types of cookies employed and how to manage them.

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

We share data with hosting providers, analytics services and email delivery platforms that act as our processors under contract. We may disclose information where required by law, such as in response to valid legal requests from UK authorities.

International transfers and the safeguards used when they apply

Some processors may be located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases we rely on UK adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office to ensure appropriate safeguards.

Specific retention periods or defensible criteria for deciding them

Contact records are retained for two years after the last interaction. Usage logs are kept for twelve months. Course enrolment data is retained for the duration of your access plus six years to meet accounting and legal requirements. Criteria include legal obligations, legitimate business needs and your rights to erasure.

Security and data-minimisation practices

We implement technical measures such as encryption in transit and access controls. We collect only the minimum data necessary for each purpose and regularly review our processing activities to avoid excessive collection.

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

You have the right 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.

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]. You can also object to direct marketing by using the unsubscribe link in any communication or by writing to us at 126-128 New Kings Road, Fulham, London, SW6 4LZ, United Kingdom.

The right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

If you are not satisfied with our response you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or by post to their office in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

Children or age restrictions

Our resources are intended for professionals aged eighteen and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen years of age.

Automated decision-making and profiling

We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version was last updated on 23 September 2026. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised notice.
