Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 October 2026.

Who we are and our role as data controller

newslura operates this website as the data controller under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We are responsible for deciding how and why personal data is processed when you visit our site or use our professional resources on studio production, camera operation, lighting, sound and live broadcast workflows. Our registered address is Beaconsfield Studios, Station Road, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, HP9 1LG.

Scope of this notice

This policy explains how we handle personal data of visitors to our commercial website, including those who submit enquiries via the contact form, subscribe to updates where offered, or interact with course materials on studio equipment setup and high-quality television production workflows. It applies to individuals in the United Kingdom and elsewhere who access the site.

Categories of personal data and sources

We collect data directly from you when you complete the contact form or otherwise correspond with us. This includes name, email address, organisation details and any message content. We also collect technical data automatically such as IP address, browser type, device information and pages viewed. No data is obtained from third-party sources other than standard analytics tools that operate under our instructions.

Purposes of processing and legal bases

We process contact details to respond to enquiries on the basis of legitimate interest in providing customer support. Technical data is processed for site security and analytics under legitimate interest. Where you consent to marketing communications, we rely on consent. Each purpose is listed with its corresponding legal basis so you can understand the justification for every use of your information.

Whether providing data is required

Supplying information through the contact form is voluntary. If you choose not to provide contact details we may be unable to respond to your query. Browsing the site without submitting forms still generates technical data necessary for the site to function securely.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve site performance and remember preferences. Full details, including how to manage preferences, are set out in our separate Cookie Policy which is linked from the site-wide cookie banner.

Processors, recipients and disclosures required by law

We engage service providers such as hosting companies, email delivery platforms and analytics providers who act as processors under contract. Personal data may be disclosed to law enforcement or regulators where required by law. We do not sell personal data to third parties.

International transfers

Some processors may be located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases we use UK-approved safeguards including standard contractual clauses and adequacy decisions where applicable to protect your data during transfer.

Retention periods

Contact form data is retained for up to two years after the last interaction to allow follow-up and record keeping. Technical logs are kept for twelve months for security analysis. Longer retention occurs only where legal obligations require it, such as tax or regulatory records.

Security and data-minimisation practices

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures including encryption in transit, access controls and regular reviews of data collected. We limit collection to what is necessary for the stated purposes and delete or anonymise data once it is no longer required.

Your data subject rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. You may exercise these rights by contacting us using the details on our Contacts page or by writing to [email protected]. We will respond within one month in most cases.

Right to withdraw consent and object to direct marketing

Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected]. You can also object to direct marketing or profiling at any time; we will cease such processing promptly upon request.

Right to complain to the supervisory authority

If you believe your data has been mishandled you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk. We encourage you to contact us first so we can address concerns directly.

Children and age restrictions

Our content on studio production techniques is intended for professional adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18. If we become aware that data has been provided by a child we will delete it promptly.

Automated decision-making and profiling

We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Simple analytics reports are generated but do not result in decisions about individuals.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal or operational changes. The date of the most recent revision appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
