Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 September 2026

Identity and role of the data controller

scoopzly acts as the data controller for the purposes of this privacy policy. We are responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through our website, which provides a commercial Course A reporting and media workflow guide covering story discovery, newsroom planning, studio reports, camera setup and clear content production. Our registered address is 9 Station Terrace, London NW10 5RT and we can be contacted at [email protected].

Scope of the notice and the people it covers

This notice applies to all visitors to our website who are located in the United Kingdom. It covers personal data we collect when you browse our pages, submit enquiries via the contact form, or otherwise interact with our services. It does not apply to third-party websites linked from our site.

Categories of personal data and sources

We collect identification data such as your name and email address when you use the contact form. Usage data including IP address, browser type and pages visited is gathered automatically. We obtain this information directly from you or through automated technologies on our site. No special category data is collected unless you voluntarily provide it in a message.

Purpose-by-purpose explanation of processing and legal basis

We process contact details to respond to enquiries under the legal basis of legitimate interest in providing customer support. Usage data is processed to improve site functionality under legitimate interest. Where consent is obtained through the cookie banner, we process data for analytics purposes. Each purpose is limited to what is necessary for the commercial operation of the Course A guide.

Whether providing data is required and consequences

Providing contact information is voluntary, but without it we cannot respond to your enquiry. Failing to allow essential cookies may limit site functionality such as form submission, though core content remains accessible.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies as described in our separate Cookie Policy, which is accessible via the site-wide cookie banner. Please refer to that document for details on cookie categories and management options.

Processors, service-provider categories and disclosures

We engage service providers such as hosting companies, email delivery services and analytics platforms to process data on our behalf under strict contracts. Personal data may be disclosed where required by law, such as in response to court orders or regulatory requests from UK authorities.

International transfers and safeguards

Some service providers may be located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases we rely on UK adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office to ensure appropriate safeguards for your data.

Retention periods

Contact data is retained for up to two years after the last interaction unless you request earlier deletion. Usage logs are kept for twelve months for security and improvement purposes. Retention criteria balance legal obligations with data minimisation principles.

Security and data-minimisation practices

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures including encryption and access controls. Data collection is limited to what is strictly necessary for the stated purposes, and we regularly review these practices.

Data-subject rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, port your data and object to processing. To exercise these rights please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month as required by UK GDPR.

Right to withdraw consent and object to direct marketing

Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected]. You can also object to direct marketing at any time; we do not send marketing without explicit consent.

Right to complain to the supervisory authority

If you are not satisfied with our response you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority, via their website or by post.

Children or age restrictions

Our services are intended for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18. 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 are used solely for internal service improvement.

Policy changes and effective date

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or practice. The current version is effective from 21 September 2026. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
