OUR LEGAL BASIIS FOR USING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
The regulations provide six lawful bases under which we may process your data. Typically, there are three bases under which we will process your data:
CONTRACT PURPOSES
When you make a purchase from us or make a donation to us, you are entering into a contract with us. In order to perform this contract we need to process and store your data. For example we may need to contact you by email or telephone in the case of cancellation of a show, or in the case of problems with your payment.
LEGITIMATE BUSINESS INTERESTS
In certain situations we collect and process your personal data for purposes that are in our legitimate organisational interests. However we only do this if there is no overriding prejudice to you by using your personal information in this way. We describe below all situations where we may use this basis for processing.
WITH YOUR EXPLICIT CONSENT
For any situations where other bases are not appropriate, we will instead ask for your explicit consent before using your personal information in that specific situation.
When you register online, sign up to a newsletter or opt-in to our communications using any of our forms (eg. a donation form or online form) or in person, then you are giving us your consent to send you film and event communications and fundraising materials by the methods you have chosen (e.g. email). We will never send you film and event communications without your consent, and you can withdraw your consent at any time. If you have provided us with your postal or telephone contact details, but haven’t specifically opted-in to receive our communications (for example, making a donation by post), then we will carry out an assessment of whether it would be fair and reasonable to use them to send marketing event and research or fundraising information to you without your explicit consent (i.e. it is in the interests of our aims as a charity and will not cause undue prejudice to you). This is called a “legitimate interests assessment”. You can opt out of our communications at any time if you don’t want to receive them.
We will ensure we have a legal basis to use your personal information for the other purposes mentioned in this policy (usually with your consent, further to a legitimate interests assessment, or because the use of your data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation).”
