Last updated: 21 September 2026

Identity and role of the data controller

newsvoxy 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 personal data in connection with our Course A newsroom production resource services focused on voice and presentation training.

Scope of the notice and the people it covers

This privacy policy applies to all visitors to our website who are located in the United Kingdom. It covers individuals who interact with our commercial services, including those accessing resources on studio speech, microphone setup, camera framing and news content workflows. It does not apply to employees or contractors of newsvoxy.

Categories of personal data and sources

We collect personal data directly from you when you use the contact form or interact with the site. Categories include contact details such as name and email address submitted via forms, technical data such as IP address and browser information obtained automatically, and usage data from site navigation. No data is obtained from third-party sources.

Purpose-by-purpose explanation of processing and legal basis

We process contact data to respond to enquiries with the legal basis of legitimate interests in providing customer support. Technical data is processed to ensure site functionality under legitimate interests. Where consent is obtained through the cookie banner, we process data for analytics purposes under consent. Each purpose is limited to what is necessary for the commercial operation of the newsroom resource site.

Whether providing data is required and consequences

Providing contact details through the form is optional but necessary to receive a response from us. Failure to provide this data means we cannot process your enquiry. Technical data is collected automatically and cannot be refused without disabling site access.

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. You can manage preferences through that banner at any time.

Processors, service providers and recipients

We engage service providers such as hosting companies and email delivery platforms to process data on our behalf. These processors are bound by contracts requiring appropriate security and confidentiality. We may disclose data where required by law to regulatory authorities.

International transfers and safeguards

Some 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 equivalent protection.

Retention periods and criteria

Contact data is retained for up to two years after the last interaction to handle follow-up enquiries. Technical logs are kept for twelve months for security and analytics. Retention is determined by legal obligations and legitimate business needs.

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. We cannot guarantee absolute security but regularly review measures.

Data-subject rights and exercising them

You have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. To exercise these rights contact us using the form on our Contacts page or email [email protected]. We will respond within one month.

Right to withdraw consent and object to marketing

Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time via the cookie banner or by contacting us. You may object to direct marketing by using the unsubscribe option in communications or contacting [email protected].

Right to complain to the supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office if you believe your data has been processed unlawfully. Their contact details are available on their website.

Children or age restrictions

Our services are intended for adults engaged in professional news production. We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under 18 years of age.

Automated decision-making and profiling

We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or significant effects on individuals.

Policy changes and effective date

We may update this policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised last-updated date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
