Last updated: 19 September 2026.
Identity and Role of the Data Controller
stagecorely acts as the data controller for the personal data processed in connection with our specialised courses on live production decks, control rooms, multi-camera switching, live broadcasting techniques, real-time video operation and professional management of television and streaming productions. We determine the purposes and means of processing and are responsible for compliance with UK data protection law.
Scope of This Notice
This privacy notice applies to all individuals who interact with our website, enrol on our courses, request information or otherwise provide personal data to us. It covers visitors from the United Kingdom and any other jurisdictions where our services are accessed.
Categories of Personal Data and Sources
We collect identification data such as name and date of birth, contact details including email address and telephone number, professional information such as current role and employer, payment information, course progress records, technical data including IP address and browser type, and marketing preferences. Data is obtained directly from you when you register or contact us, from publicly available sources where relevant, and from third-party service providers who assist with enrolment.
Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases
We process data to deliver and administer courses under the legal basis of contract performance. Marketing communications rely on consent or legitimate interests. Legal compliance activities are based on legal obligation. Website analytics and service improvement are pursued under legitimate interests, balanced against your rights. Each purpose is explained in detail within our full processing register available on request.
Requirement to Provide Data and Consequences
Supplying certain personal data is necessary to complete course enrolment, process payments and issue certificates. Failure to provide required information may prevent you from accessing our training programmes or receiving essential communications. Optional data, such as marketing preferences, can be withheld without affecting core service delivery.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to enable essential website functions, remember preferences and measure usage. A separate cookie policy explains each category in plain language and provides mechanisms to manage preferences through the site-wide cookie banner.
Processors, Recipients and Lawful Disclosures
We engage carefully selected processors including payment providers, learning management platforms, email delivery services and IT support companies. Categories of recipients include regulatory bodies when legally required and professional advisers under confidentiality obligations. Disclosures required by law are made only after verifying the legal basis.
International Transfers
Some processors operate outside the United Kingdom. Where transfers occur we rely on UK adequacy regulations or put in place appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office to protect your data.
Retention Periods
Enrolment and course records are retained for seven years to meet accounting and regulatory requirements. Marketing consent records are kept until consent is withdrawn. Technical logs are deleted after twelve months unless needed for security investigations. Criteria for determining retention include legal obligations, legitimate business needs and your rights.
Security and Data Minimisation
We implement technical and organisational measures including encryption, access controls and regular staff training to protect personal data. We collect only the minimum information necessary for each purpose and conduct periodic reviews to reduce data holdings.
Data Subject Rights
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. We will respond within one month and may extend this period only in complex cases, informing you accordingly.
Withdrawing Consent and Objecting to Marketing
Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw it at any time by updating your preferences or contacting us. You can object to direct marketing and profiling at any point without charge. Unsubscribing from emails is available through every communication we send.
Right to Complain
If you are dissatisfied with our handling of your data you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority, via their website or helpline. We encourage you to contact us first so we can address concerns directly.
Children and Age Restrictions
Our courses are designed for adults and we do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of eighteen. If we become aware that data has been collected from a child without verified parental consent we will delete it promptly.
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We do not engage in automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Limited profiling may occur for marketing segmentation but you can object to this activity as described above.
Policy Changes
We review this notice regularly and will publish updates on this page. Material changes will be highlighted for a reasonable period. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. The effective date of the current version is 19 September 2026.
