Privacy Policy
Last updated: 17 September 2026
Who we are and our role as data controller
peaknewzo operates this 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. Our registered address is Beaconsfield Studios, Station Road, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, HP9 1LG and you can reach us at [email protected] or 01494 671234 for any data protection queries.
Scope of this notice and who it covers
This privacy policy applies to all visitors and users of the website located in the United Kingdom and elsewhere who interact with our professional resource on studio production in motion. It covers individuals who browse course information, submit enquiries via the contact form, or otherwise engage with the site. It does not apply to offline activities or third-party websites linked from our pages.
Categories of personal data and sources
We collect identification data such as name and contact details when you use the contact form. Usage data including IP address, browser type, pages visited and time spent is gathered automatically through server logs. Communication data from enquiries is stored when you reach out. All information originates directly from you or your device unless obtained through aggregated analytics tools.
Purposes of processing and legal bases
We process contact data to respond to enquiries under the legal basis of legitimate interests and contract performance. Usage data supports site improvement and analytics under legitimate interests. Where consent is given for marketing, that forms the basis for promotional communications. Each purpose is limited to what is necessary and explained clearly at the point of collection.
Whether providing data is required
Supplying contact details through the form is voluntary but necessary to receive a response to your query. Refusing to provide information means we cannot process your request or deliver the requested course resources. Automated data collection via cookies can be managed through your browser settings as detailed below.
Cookies and similar technologies
The site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enable core functionality and gather anonymous usage statistics. A site-wide cookie banner allows you to manage preferences. Please refer to our separate Cookie Policy for full details on types of cookies, their purposes and how to control them.
Processors, recipients and disclosures
Personal data may be shared with service providers such as hosting companies, email delivery platforms and analytics providers who act as processors under contract. We may disclose information where required by law, regulation or court order to competent authorities. No sale of personal data occurs.
International transfers and safeguards
Some processors may be located outside the UK. In such cases we rely on UK adequacy regulations where available or standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner to ensure an adequate level of protection for your data.
Retention periods and criteria
Contact form data is retained for up to two years after the last interaction to handle follow-up queries and maintain service records. Usage logs are kept for twelve months for security and analytics purposes. Retention is reviewed regularly against business needs and legal obligations.
Security and data minimisation
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures including encryption in transit, access controls and regular security reviews. Data collection is limited to what is strictly necessary for the stated purposes and excessive information is not requested.
Your data subject rights
Under UK GDPR you have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. To exercise any right please contact us using the details above or the contact form on the Contacts page. We will respond within one month and may request verification of identity.
Withdrawing consent and objecting to marketing
Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected]. You can also object to direct marketing at any time and we will cease such processing without undue delay.
Right to complain to the supervisory authority
If you believe your data has been handled in breach of UK GDPR you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk. We encourage you to contact us first so we can attempt to resolve the matter.
Children and age restrictions
The website is directed at professionals and adults engaged in studio production. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18. If we become aware that data from a child has been collected 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. Any analytics used are for aggregate statistical purposes only.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in law or practice. The effective date will be shown at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
