Privacy Policy

Last updated: 02 November 2026

Who we are and our role as data controller

currentra operates this website as the data controller under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We determine the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through the site. Our registered address is 1 Fairview Cottages, Beehive Road, Binfield, RG12 8TS, United Kingdom and enquiries about data protection may be sent to info@dramabydesign.com or +44 1344 649400.

Scope of this notice

This privacy policy applies to all visitors to the site, including individuals who submit enquiries via the contact form, register interest in our audiovisual production courses, or interact with any features. It covers data collected from users located in the United Kingdom and elsewhere who access the resource on broadcast studio design, camera control systems, professional lighting, sound engineering and workflow optimisation.

Categories of personal data and sources

We collect identification data such as name and job title, contact details including email address and telephone number, technical data such as IP address, browser type and device information, and usage data from cookies and similar technologies. Data is obtained directly from you when you complete forms or communicate with us, and automatically through server logs and analytics tools.

Purposes of processing and legal bases

We process contact data to respond to enquiries on the lawful basis of legitimate interest in providing information about our courses. Registration data is processed to deliver course materials under the necessity of performing a contract. Analytics data supports site improvement on the basis of consent or legitimate interest. Marketing communications require your explicit consent, which may be withdrawn at any time.

Whether data provision is obligatory

Supplying contact details for enquiries is voluntary; however, failure to provide them prevents us from replying. Technical data is collected automatically and cannot be refused without disabling essential site functions. Where consent is the basis, you may withhold it without affecting core access to course descriptions.

Cookies and similar technologies

The site uses cookies for essential operation, performance measurement and, where consented, targeted content. A site-wide cookie banner allows you to manage preferences. Full details appear in our separate Cookie Policy, which explains each category and how to adjust settings via your browser.

Processors, recipients and legal disclosures

Service providers such as hosting companies, email delivery platforms and analytics suppliers act as processors under contract. We may disclose data to law enforcement or regulators when legally required. No sale of personal data occurs.

International transfers

Some processors are located outside the UK. Transfers rely on UK adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office to ensure equivalent protection.

Retention periods

Enquiry records are kept for two years after last contact. Course registration data is retained for seven years to meet accounting and legal obligations. Analytics data is aggregated or deleted after twenty-six months unless consent extends the period.

Security and data minimisation

Appropriate technical and organisational measures protect data against unauthorised access, including encryption in transit and restricted access controls. We collect only the minimum data necessary for each purpose and regularly review storage practices.

Your data subject rights

Under UK GDPR you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or objection to processing. Submit requests to info@dramabydesign.com. We respond within one month and may request identity verification to protect your data.

Withdrawing consent and objecting to marketing

You can withdraw consent or opt out of marketing by using the unsubscribe link in emails or contacting info@dramabydesign.com. Objection to profiling for marketing purposes is honoured without delay.

Right to complain

If you believe we have mishandled your data you may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk. We encourage you to contact us first to resolve concerns.

Children and age restrictions

The site and courses target professionals aged eighteen and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children and will delete any such information discovered.

Automated decision-making and profiling

No solely automated decisions producing legal or significant effects are made. Basic analytics profiling for site improvement occurs only with consent and does not result in automated outcomes affecting individuals.

Changes to this policy

We review the policy periodically. Material changes will be notified via the website. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
