Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24 September 2026

Identity and role of the data controller

gleamtalko acts as the data controller for personal data processed through this website. We are responsible for deciding how and why your information is used in connection with our Course A talk-show and interview production guide services.

Scope of the notice and the people it covers

This notice applies to all visitors to the site, including individuals who purchase or access our production course materials, submit enquiries via the contact form, or interact with the cookie banner. It covers users located in the United Kingdom and elsewhere who access our commercial website.

Categories of personal data and sources

We collect identification details such as name and email address when you use the contact form or purchase the course. Usage data including IP address, browser type and pages visited is gathered automatically. Information may also come from third-party payment processors when transactions occur. No data is obtained from public sources or social media unless you voluntarily provide it.

Purpose-by-purpose explanation of processing and legal basis

Data is processed to deliver the course content and manage purchases under the legal basis of contract performance. Contact form submissions are handled to respond to enquiries on the basis of legitimate interests. Cookie data supports site functionality and analytics with consent where required under PECR. Marketing communications occur only with explicit consent.

Whether providing data is required and consequences

Supplying contact details is necessary to receive course access or responses to enquiries. Failure to provide them prevents completion of purchases or communication. Usage data collection is automatic but can be limited through browser settings or cookie preferences.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use essential cookies for site operation and optional analytics cookies. Details are set out in our separate Cookie Policy, which is accessible via the site-wide cookie banner and footer links. You can manage preferences at any time through the banner controls.

Processors, recipients and disclosures required by law

Service providers such as hosting platforms, payment processors and email delivery services receive data only as necessary to perform their functions. We may disclose information if required by UK law or to protect our legal rights, always minimising the data shared.

International transfers and safeguards

Some processors 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.

Retention periods or criteria

Course purchase records are kept for six years to meet tax and accounting obligations. Enquiry data is retained for two years unless you request earlier deletion. Analytics data is deleted after 14 months unless consent is withdrawn.

Security and data-minimisation practices

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are implemented to protect data against unauthorised access. We collect only the minimum information needed for each purpose and regularly review storage practices.

Data-subject rights and exercising them

You have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. Requests can be submitted using the contact form on our Contacts page or by emailing [email protected]. We aim to respond within one month.

Right to withdraw consent and object to marketing

Consent for marketing or non-essential cookies can be withdrawn at any time via the cookie banner or by contacting us. You may also object to direct marketing without providing a reason.

Right to complain to the supervisory authority

If you are unsatisfied with our response you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk. We encourage you to contact us first so we can address concerns directly.

Children or age restrictions

Our course is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18 and will delete such information if discovered.

Automated decision-making and profiling

No automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or significant effects is carried out on this site.

Policy changes and effective date

We may update this policy to reflect legal or operational changes. The date at the top indicates the latest version. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
