Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 October 2026

Identity and role of the data controller

newsvistaup acts as the data controller for the personal data processed through this website. We are responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing your information in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Our registered address is Fawley House, 2 Regatta Place, Marlow Road, Bourne End, Buckinghamshire SL8 5TD and you may contact us using the details [email protected] or +44 (0) 300 111 4123.

Scope of the notice and the people it covers

This privacy notice applies to all visitors to our website who interact with our professional resource on studio production, including those seeking information on equipment setup, camera operation, lighting, sound, and broadcast workflows. It covers personal data collected from users located in the United Kingdom and explains how we handle information when you browse, submit enquiries via the contact form, or otherwise engage with the site.

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

We collect contact details such as name and email address when you use the contact form. Usage data including IP address, browser type, pages visited and time spent on site is gathered automatically through server logs. No data is obtained from third-party sources unless you voluntarily provide it. We do not collect sensitive categories of data unless explicitly required for a specific service and with your consent.

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

Enquiries submitted through the contact form are processed to respond to your questions about studio production resources; the legal basis is legitimate interest or consent where applicable. Website analytics are processed to improve site functionality under legitimate interest. Cookie preferences are stored to comply with PECR, based on consent. We never process data for unrelated marketing without separate consent.

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

Providing contact information via the form is voluntary. If you choose not to supply it we cannot respond to your enquiry. Browsing the site without accepting optional cookies still allows full access to content, though some usage measurement features may be limited.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use essential cookies for site operation and optional analytics cookies. Full details, including how to manage preferences, are set out in our separate Cookie Policy which is accessible from the site-wide cookie banner and footer.

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

We engage reputable service providers for hosting, email delivery and basic analytics. These processors act only on our instructions and under contract. We may disclose information if required by law, court order or to protect legal rights, but we do not sell personal data to third parties.

International transfers and the safeguards used when they apply

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

Specific retention periods or defensible criteria for deciding them

Contact form data is retained for twelve months after the last correspondence. Server logs are kept for a maximum of thirteen months. Cookie consent records are stored for the duration of the consent period plus a short administrative buffer. Data is deleted or anonymised once the retention period expires.

Security and data-minimisation practices

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures including encryption in transit, access controls and regular security reviews. We collect only the minimum data necessary for the stated purposes and do not make absolute guarantees against all possible breaches.

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

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, data portability and to object to processing. To exercise these rights please email [email protected] or write to Fawley House, 2 Regatta Place, Marlow Road, Bourne End, Buckinghamshire SL8 5TD. 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 processing is based on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us. We do not conduct direct marketing or automated profiling; should this change we will provide an easy opt-out mechanism.

The right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

If you are dissatisfied with our response you may lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office via their website or by post to their office in Wilmslow.

Children or age restrictions

Our content is intended for professionals and adults engaged in television and live production. We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under 18 years of age.

Automated decision-making and profiling

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Policy changes and the effective or last-updated date

We review this policy periodically. Any material changes will be announced on this page with a new last-updated date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
