What information do we collect about you?
We collect information about you when you contact us or sign up to our e-newsletter services. We also collect information when you voluntarily complete audience/participant surveys and provide feedback. Website usage information is collected using cookies.
How will we use the information about you?
We collect information about you to inform you about events and activities we think may be of interest to you. We will never share this information with a third party, unless we are required to do so by law.
What is the lawful basis for holding your data?
Personal data is information relating to an identifiable living individual. Whenever personal data is processed, collected, recorded, stored or disposed of it must be done within the terms of the Data Protection Act (DPA).
In order to use your personal data, we need to identify a lawful basis, also called ‘condition for processing’, and document it. The lawful basis for processing your data has been assessed and categorised as ‘legitimate interests’. This means that personal data can be processed without consent where there are ‘legitimate interests’ for doing so, and where the interests of the processor are balanced against those of the individual.
Our assessment has identified that the purpose for using your information is to keep you informed of our events and activities. In order to do this, it is necessary to keep your contact details. We have balanced our interest with the individuals who have shared their details with us by keeping only the minimum amount of details in order to do this, and by anonymising any survey or feedback data associated with them.
You have a right at any time to stop us from contacting you. If you signed up to our e-newsletter and no longer wish to be contacted, please Contact Us or click the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of every e-newsletter we send.
Access to your information and correction:
You have the right to request a copy of the information we hold about you, and to receive a response within 30 days. If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information, or if you would like us to change or remove this information, please Contact Us, or write to us at the following address:
