Privacy Policy
Last updated: 21 September 2026.
Identity and role of the data controller
trendixa acts as the data controller for the purposes of this privacy policy. We are responsible for deciding how and why personal data is processed in connection with the Course A media trends platform. 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 the notice and the people it covers
This notice applies to all visitors, users and customers who access or use the Course A media trends platform. It covers personal data collected through the website, contact forms, course registrations and any other interactions with our services. The policy does not apply to third-party websites linked from our site.
Categories of personal data and sources
We collect personal data directly from you when you complete forms, register for courses or contact us. This includes your name, email address, professional role and any details you provide about your interest in modern studio formats, visual storytelling, camera planning, lighting design or digital broadcast workflows. We may also receive technical data such as IP address and browser type from your device. No data is obtained from public sources or third-party brokers.
Purposes of processing and legal bases
We process your data to deliver the Course A platform and respond to enquiries. The legal basis is usually our legitimate interest in operating and improving the service. Where you have given consent, for example by subscribing to updates, we rely on consent. Contractual necessity applies when you register for paid courses. We never process data for purposes unrelated to the platform without a clear legal basis.
Whether providing data is required
Providing contact details through the form on our Contacts page is voluntary. However, if you choose not to supply the information we request, we may be unable to respond to your enquiry or grant access to certain course materials. Technical data is collected automatically when you visit the site.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to ensure the site functions correctly and to remember your preferences. Full details are set out in our separate Cookie Policy, which you can access via the site-wide cookie banner. You can manage your preferences at any time through the banner or your browser settings.
Processors, recipients and disclosures required by law
We share personal data only with trusted service providers who act as processors, such as hosting companies, email delivery services and payment processors. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data. We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation or a court order.
International transfers and safeguards
Some of our processors 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 an adequate level of protection.
Retention periods
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above. Enquiry data is usually kept for two years. Course registration records are retained for six years to meet accounting and legal obligations. You may request earlier deletion where permitted by law.
Security and data-minimisation practices
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access or loss. Access is restricted to staff who need it to perform their roles. We collect only the data that is strictly required for each purpose.
Data-subject rights
You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or port your personal data. You may also object to certain processing. To exercise these rights please contact us using the form on the Contacts page or by writing to [email protected] or Beaconsfield Studios, Station Road, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, HP9 1LG. We will respond within one month.
Right to withdraw consent and object to marketing
Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us. You can also object to direct marketing or profiling by using the unsubscribe link in any email or by writing to us. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that occurred before the withdrawal.
Right to complain to the supervisory authority
If you are not satisfied with our response you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority for data protection matters.
Children and age restrictions
The Course A platform is intended for professional 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 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 analysis of user behaviour is carried out manually by our team for service improvement purposes only.
Policy changes and effective date
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in law or our practices. The current version will always be available on this page with the last-updated date clearly shown. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
