CONTROLLING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

What information do we hold?

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

The information we hold about you will be any of the following types:

  • Contact information that you provide to us such as your name, address, telephone number and/or email address.
  • Where gathered, information for the services we provide you, for example the date and location of the workshop and/or performance attended.
  • Your contact details and details of the emails and other electronic communications you receive from us, including whether that communication has been opened and if you have clicked on any links within that communication. We want to make sure that our communications are useful for you, so if you don’t open them or don’t click on any links in them, we know we need to improve our services.
  • Non-identifiable information about your activity on our website – for example length of time and behaviour on site, browser or IP address.
  • Whenever you provide personal information to us, we are legally obliged to use this information in accordance with all laws concerning the protection of personal information including the UK Data Protection Act 1998 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which came into effect from 25 May 2018.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

How do we use your information?

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than if we asked you if you wanted us to send you third party direct marketing communications via email or text message or if we have expressly asked you if you are happy for us to use a photograph of you and/or your children. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing and/or the use of a photograph of you and/or your children at any time by contacting us.

The information we collect may be used to:

  • Personalise your communications, for example by understanding which part of our programme you are interested in;
  • Help us ensure that our customers are genuine and to prevent fraud;
  • Conduct market research;
  • For statistical analysis;
  • Help us understand more about you as a customer, the products and services you consume and the manner in which you consume them, so we can serve you better;
  • Find ways to improve our services and website;
  • Contact you about our products and services;
  • Provide for the safety and security of our colleagues and customers; and
  • Help answer your questions and solve any issues you have.

Who do we share your data with?

In order to use your information in the ways we’ve described above we may have to share your personal data with:

  • service providers (acting as our data processors under our instructions) based only in the United Kingdom who provide us with support for things like IT and system administration services;
  • professional advisors (acting as our data processors under our instructions) based only in the United Kingdom including our lawyers, accountants and insurers;
  • HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities (acting as our data processors) based only in the United Kingdom who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances; or
  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Privacy Policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions

We do not transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area.

Keeping you informed

We would like to contact you from time to time with information that we think you might be interested in. This may include details of upcoming projects and workshops, as well as news and blog posts.

We may use the data we have about you and your interactions with us to form a view on what we think may be of interest to you.  You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or participated in one of our projects and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

Marketing communications from us will be done through email, online, using social media, or by other electronic means. We won’t send you marketing messages if you tell us not to.

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us at any time.

How long do we keep your information?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

By law we have to keep basic information about our customers for six years after they cease being customers for accounting  and tax purposes.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see the Your Legal Rights section below for further information.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Sharing your thoughts

When using one of our websites, you may be able to share information through social networks like Facebook and Twitter. For example when you ‘like’, ‘share’ or review our services. When doing this your personal information may be visible to the providers of those social networks and their other users. Please remember it is your responsibility to set appropriate privacy settings on your social network accounts so you are comfortable with how your information is used and shared on them.

Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

Our security measures to protect your information include:

  • limiting access to our office to those that we believe are entitled to be there; and
  • implementing access controls to our information technology, such as firewalls, ID verification.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Part of our security processes are that we will verify that you have given us a functioning email address by sending a confirmation message to you at that address. You must respond to that message so we can verify your email address. You may choose to unsubscribe of our newsletters at any time by clicking on ‘unsubscribe’.

 

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Access and correction of your personal information

You have the right to access the personal information that we hold about you in many circumstances. This is sometimes called a ‘Subject Access Request’. If we agree that we are obliged to provide personal information to you (or someone else on your behalf), we will provide it to you or them free of charge.

Before providing personal information to you or another person on your behalf, we may ask for proof of identity and sufficient information about your interactions with us that we can locate your personal information.

If any of the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or out of date, you may ask us to correct it.

Right to object to or limit our processing of your data

You have the right to object to us processing your personal information if we are not entitled to use it any more, to have your information deleted if we are keeping it too long or have its processing restricted in certain circumstances.

Right to request erasure

This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see above), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with the applicable law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

If you would like to exercise any of your rights at any time, please contact us.
