Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4 November 2026.

Who we are and our role as data controller

writevaxy operates this commercial website as the data controller under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We determine the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through the site, contact form, and any related services connected to professional training in live television production.

Who this notice covers

This policy applies to all visitors to the website, individuals who submit enquiries via the contact form, and anyone whose personal data we process in connection with our UK-based activities. It does not cover third-party websites linked from our pages.

Categories of personal data we collect and their sources

We collect identification data such as name, contact details including email address and telephone number submitted through forms, technical data such as IP address and browser type obtained automatically, and usage data from site interactions. Sources include direct input from users, cookies, and analytics tools.

Purposes of processing and legal bases

We process data to respond to enquiries on the basis of legitimate interests and consent where applicable, to deliver services related to studio equipment and production techniques under contract, to comply with legal obligations, and to improve site functionality under legitimate interests. Each purpose is matched to the appropriate lawful basis under UK GDPR Article 6.

Whether providing data is obligatory

Supplying certain data is necessary to use the contact form or access services. Failure to provide required information may prevent us from responding to queries or fulfilling requests, though browsing the site remains possible with limited functionality.

Cookies and similar technologies

The site uses cookies and similar technologies for essential operation, performance measurement, and functionality. Details are set out in our separate Cookie Policy, which is accessible via the site-wide cookie banner. You can manage preferences through browser settings or the banner controls.

Processors, recipients and disclosures

We share data with service providers acting as processors such as hosting providers, email services, and analytics platforms under contract. We may disclose data to law enforcement or regulators where required by law, or to protect our rights in legal proceedings.

International transfers

Where data is transferred outside the UK, we use appropriate safeguards including UK-approved standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions to ensure equivalent protection.

Retention periods

We retain enquiry data for up to two years after last contact unless longer retention is needed for legal compliance. Technical logs are kept for twelve months. Criteria for retention include legal requirements, business needs, and data minimisation principles.

Security and data minimisation

We apply technical and organisational measures including encryption, access controls, and regular reviews to protect data. We collect only the minimum data necessary and do not guarantee absolute security against all threats.

Your data subject rights

You may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, or objection to processing by contacting us at info@iqstudios.co.uk. We will respond within one month, subject to verification and applicable exceptions.

Withdrawing consent and objecting to marketing

Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time via the contact form or by emailing info@iqstudios.co.uk. You can object to direct marketing at any time using the same methods.

Right to complain

If you are dissatisfied you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk, the UK supervisory authority for data protection matters.

Children and age restrictions

Our content targets professionals and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18. If we become aware of such collection we will delete the data promptly.

Automated decision-making and profiling

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

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy periodically. The current version will always be available on the site with the last-updated date shown at the top. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
