Privacy Policy
Last updated: 30 October 2026
Identity and Role of the Data Controller
journalexi 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 data in connection with our informative resource on audiovisual production topics including broadcast studio design, camera control systems, professional lighting, sound engineering and workflow optimisation for television and live events. Our operations are based in the United Kingdom and we comply with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.
Scope of This Notice
This privacy notice applies to all visitors and users of the website who provide personal data while accessing course information, submitting enquiries via the contact form or interacting with any other features. It covers individuals located in the United Kingdom and explains how we handle data collected directly from you or through automated means during your visit.
Categories of Personal Data and Sources
We collect identification data such as your name, contact details including email address and telephone number when you use the contact form. Usage data including IP address, browser type, pages visited and time spent on site is obtained through server logs and analytics tools. Enquiry data such as messages describing your interest in audiovisual production topics is collected directly from form submissions. No data is obtained from third-party sources other than those necessary for service delivery.
Purpose-by-Purpose Explanation of Processing and Legal Basis
We process contact details to respond to enquiries on the basis of legitimate interest in providing information about our courses. Usage data supports website functionality and improvement under the same legitimate interest basis. Where consent is obtained through the cookie banner we process analytics data for statistical purposes. Marketing communications are sent only with your explicit consent which serves as the legal basis for that activity.
Requirement to Provide Data and Consequences
Providing personal data through the contact form is voluntary. However if you choose not to supply required fields we may be unable to respond to your enquiry or deliver the requested information about audiovisual production resources. Essential technical data is collected automatically to enable basic site operation and refusing this collection may impair website functionality.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies as described in our separate Cookie Policy which is accessible from the site-wide cookie banner. You can manage your preferences at any time through the banner controls in line with PECR requirements.
Processors, Recipients and Legal Disclosures
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 regulatory bodies where required by law or to protect our legal rights. No data is sold to third parties.
International Transfers
Some processors may be located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases we ensure appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner are in place to protect your personal data during transfer and subsequent processing.
Retention Periods
Contact enquiry data is retained for twelve months after the last communication unless you request earlier deletion. Usage logs are kept for up to twenty-four months for security and analytical purposes. Consent records for marketing are retained for the duration of your consent plus a further three years to demonstrate compliance.
Security and Data-Minimisation Practices
We implement technical measures including encryption in transit, access controls and regular security reviews to protect personal data. We collect only the minimum data necessary for each stated purpose and conduct periodic reviews to delete information that is no longer required.
Data Subject Rights
You have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection to processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights please contact us using the details on our Contacts page or by writing to 70 Kensington Way, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, WD6 1LQ, United Kingdom or emailing info@giordanodesign.com or telephoning 020 8953 5963.
Right to Withdraw Consent and Object to Marketing
Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us through the methods above. You may 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 protection rights have been infringed you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner Office, the UK supervisory authority, using their website or contact channels.
Children and Age Restrictions
Our website and courses are intended for individuals aged eighteen and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under eighteen. If we become aware that such data 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 processing is limited to aggregate statistical reporting without individualised outcomes.
Policy Changes and Effective Date
We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or processing practices. The last updated date appears at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. For questions please reach info@giordanodesign.com or 020 8953 5963.
