Identity and role of the data controller

fleekery acts as the data controller for the personal data processed through this website. We are responsible for deciding how and why your personal data is used in connection with our services as a professional hub for live television production.

Scope of the notice and the people it covers

This notice applies to all visitors to our website, including individuals who contact us via the contact form, subscribe to updates or interact with our resources on studio equipment integration, camera techniques, acoustic optimisation, lighting setups and production processes. It covers users located in the United Kingdom and those accessing the site from elsewhere.

Categories of personal data and sources

We collect contact details such as name, email address and any message content submitted through the contact form. Additional data may include technical information from cookies such as IP address, browser type and usage patterns. Data is obtained directly from you when you submit a form or interact with the site and indirectly through analytics tools.

Purpose-by-purpose explanation of processing and legal basis

We process your data to respond to enquiries submitted via the contact form under the legal basis of legitimate interest and consent where applicable. Data is used to provide information about our courses on live television production under contract performance. Analytics data supports site improvement under legitimate interest. Marketing communications require your consent as the legal basis.

Whether providing data is required and consequences

Providing contact details through the form is voluntary. If you choose not to supply required information we may be unable to respond to your enquiry or deliver requested course materials. Technical data collected via cookies can be managed through browser settings or our cookie banner.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enable essential site functions and gather anonymised usage statistics. Please refer to our separate Cookie Policy for full details on the types of cookies used and how to manage your preferences.

Processors, service-provider categories and recipients

We engage service providers such as hosting companies, email delivery platforms and analytics providers to process data on our behalf. These processors are bound by contracts that require them to protect your data and use it only for the specified purposes. Data may also be disclosed when required by law to regulatory authorities.

International transfers and safeguards

Some of our service providers may be located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases we rely on appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner to ensure your personal data receives an adequate level of protection.

Retention periods or criteria

Contact form data is retained for up to two years after the last interaction to handle follow-up enquiries. Technical and analytics data is kept for a maximum of 26 months. We apply these periods unless a longer retention is necessary to meet legal obligations or resolve disputes.

Security and data-minimisation practices

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures such as encryption in transit, access controls and regular security reviews to protect your data. We collect only the minimum information necessary for the stated purposes and regularly review our data holdings to avoid unnecessary retention.

To exercise these rights please contact us using the details on our Contacts page or email hello-pipelinemedia@salford.ac.uk. We will respond within one month of receiving a verifiable request.

Right to withdraw consent and object to direct marketing

Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting hello-pipelinemedia@salford.ac.uk. You can also object to direct marketing at any time and we will cease such processing without undue delay.

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 UK Information Commissioner’s Office. Contact details are available on their website.

Children or age restrictions

Our services are intended for individuals 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 use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. Any analytics are used only for aggregate statistical purposes.

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 posted on this page with the last-updated date clearly shown. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
