Categories of personal data we collect and their sources

We collect identification details, contact information, enquiry content, technical data such as IP address and browser type, and usage information from the contact form and site interactions. Data comes directly from you when you complete forms, from cookies and similar technologies, and from server logs.

Purposes of processing and the legal basis for each

We process data to respond to enquiries on the basis of legitimate interests and consent where applicable. We use contact details to provide information about audiovisual production courses under legitimate interests. Technical data supports site security and performance under legitimate interests. Where consent is given via the cookie banner we process analytics data on that basis.

Whether providing data is required and consequences of not providing it

Supplying information through the contact form is voluntary. If you choose not to provide required fields we may be unable to respond to your enquiry or deliver requested course information.
