1. Our approach to data protection

 

We promise to process and look after your personal data carefully and in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This means

a) asking for your permission to use your data

b) keeping it up-to-date

c) storing it securely

d) not keeping it for too long if it’s not needed

e) deleting it if you want us to (see point 7 below)

f) not sharing your data with any other organisation or third party

 

2. What information do we hold about you?

Your data is stored by us if you take part in our project research, workshops or you are involved with The Velcro Collective in some other way.  Website usage information is collected using cookies (see point 9 below).

 

3. What do we do with your personal information?

We may at times email you about performances, workshops, or projects.

 

4. What is our legal basis for processing your personal data?

The GDPR requires us to have a “legal basis” for processing and storing your personal information. Our legal basis for processing and storing your personal information is your consent to let us do so. When you share your personal details with us, we will ask for separate consent to hold your personal data.   You can change your mind at any time, and we will remove your information from our records.

 

5. Sharing personal data

We will never give your information to another company without asking you first. We will always tell you in the unlikely event of your information being shared.

 

6. How long do we keep data?

We try not to keep data for any longer than is needed. We will update our database list every 3 years, when you will have a chance to update your details if needed, or request to be removed.  If you would like to be removed at any other time, you can do so by contacting us – The Velcro Collective:  07876 773775 / [email protected]  

 

7. Access to your personal data

You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. You can also ask for the information to be changed if it is out-of-date, or deleted altogether.

 

8. Further processing

If we wish to use your personal data for a new purpose, not covered by this Privacy Notice, we will contact you prior to doing so to ask for your permission.
