Privacy Policy

Last updated: 28 September 2026

Identity and role of the data controller

briefnux acts as the data controller for the personal data processed through this website. We determine the purposes and means of processing your information in connection with our commercial services, which include providing access to Course A briefing and newsroom production guide materials covering story summaries, editorial planning, studio updates, camera setup and clear media workflows. Our registered address is Screenworks, 22 Highbury Grove, London, N5 2EF, United Kingdom and we can be contacted via [email protected].

Scope of the notice and the people it covers

This privacy notice applies to all visitors to the site, including individuals who submit enquiries through the contact form, register for course materials or otherwise interact with our commercial offerings. It covers processing carried out in the United Kingdom and explains how we handle data of users located in the UK in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Categories of personal data and the sources from which they are obtained

We collect identification data such as name and email address when you use the contact form, account registration details if you access course resources, and technical data including IP address, browser type and device information obtained automatically through server logs. Additional data may include preferences related to editorial planning or studio updates when you engage with our content. Information is gathered directly from you or through automated means when you visit the site.

Purpose-by-purpose explanation of processing and the legal basis for each purpose

We process contact data to respond to enquiries under the legal basis of legitimate interests and, where appropriate, consent. Course access data is processed to deliver the briefing and newsroom production guide under contract performance. Technical data supports site security and analytics under legitimate interests. Where consent is the basis, it can be withdrawn at any time without affecting prior processing.

Whether providing data is required and the consequences of not providing it

Providing contact details through the form is voluntary, but without them we cannot respond to your query. Registration data for course materials is necessary to grant access; failure to supply it prevents participation in the commercial service. Technical data is collected automatically and cannot be refused without disabling essential site functions.

Cookies and similar technologies, with a plain-text cross-reference to the Cookie Policy

The site uses cookies and similar technologies to maintain session information, remember preferences and support essential functionality. Details of the specific cookies deployed, their purposes and your choices are set out in the separate Cookie Policy accessible from the site-wide cookie banner. You can manage preferences through the banner or your browser settings.

Processors, service-provider categories, recipients, and disclosures required by law

We engage service providers such as hosting companies, email delivery platforms and analytics providers to support our operations. These processors act under contract and only on our instructions. We may disclose data to law enforcement or regulatory bodies where required by law, or to protect our rights in legal proceedings.

International transfers and the safeguards used when they apply

Some processors may be located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases we ensure appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved under UK GDPR are in place to protect your data during transfer.

Specific retention periods or defensible criteria for deciding them

Contact form data is retained for twelve months after the last interaction. Course registration records are kept for seven years to meet accounting and contractual obligations. Technical logs are retained for ninety days unless extended for security investigations. Retention is reviewed regularly against legal and operational needs.

Security and data-minimisation practices without making absolute security promises

We apply technical measures including encryption in transit, access controls and regular security reviews to protect data. We collect only the minimum information necessary for each purpose and delete data once the retention period expires.

All applicable data-subject rights and a practical method for exercising them

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, port your data and object to certain processing. To exercise these rights please contact us at [email protected] providing sufficient detail for us to identify your records. We will respond within one month, extendable by two further months for complex requests.

The right to withdraw consent and object to direct marketing or profiling where applicable

Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting [email protected]. We do not engage in direct marketing or automated profiling for marketing purposes. Any future marketing would require separate consent which can be withdrawn via the same channel.

The right to complain to the competent supervisory authority for the target country

If you are dissatisfied with our response you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority, via their website or by post to their offices.

Children or age restrictions when relevant to the audience

Our services are intended for professional users aged eighteen and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under eighteen. If we become aware that such data has been provided we will delete it promptly.

Automated decision-making and profiling

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Any analytics performed are limited to aggregate usage statistics that do not identify individuals.

Policy changes and the effective or last-updated date

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or practice. The current version is dated 28 September 2026 and previous versions are available on request from [email protected]. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
