Privacy Policy

This page sets out the details of the Stuart Hall Foundation privacy notice in relation to information collected about you.

The Stuart Hall Foundation (“we”) promises to respect any personal data you share with us and keep it safe. We aim to be clear when we collect your data and not do anything you wouldn’t reasonably expect.

Developing a better understanding of our supporters through their personal data allows us make better
decisions, fundraise more efficiently and, ultimately, helps us to reach our mission. We have created this policy to comply with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and to make it more understandable to supporters.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?

We collect the personal data that you may volunteer as part of ticket bookings, donation forms, e-newsletter sign-ups, arts programme proposals and submissions, scholarship and fellowship applications and surveys.

  • your name, title, gender and date of birth;
  • postal address, email address and phone number;
  • family and spouse/partner details, relationships to other donors and/or supporters;
  • current interests and activities;

  • ticket purchase and event registration/attendance;
  • contact preferences;
  • gift information, including Direct Debit bank details where applicable;

WHEN AND WHY WE WILL SEND YOU MARKETING E-MAILS

Stuart Hall Foundation will only contact you for marketing purposes – for example, keep you up to date on our work, or let you know of ways in which you can support our work – where we have your consent or we are otherwise allowed to do so (e.g. organisations are allowed to send marketing communications by email to individuals who have previously purchased similar goods and services, provided they were given the opportunity to opt out at the time of purchase).

We will always give you an option to opt-out of marketing e-mails. We will not send you marketing material if you tell us that you do not wish to receive it.

We will make it easy for you to tell us if you would like to receive marketing communications from us and hear more about our work and the ways in which you would like to receive this information.

We will only send marketing information via e-mail (we will not send marketing messages via text, post or by making phone calls).

 

WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION

Depending on your relationship with the Stuart Hall Foundation, and the preferences you have indicated, data we hold may be used by us for the following purposes:

  • Send you promotional, marketing or fundraising information by electronic means. These types of
    communications can include:
  • Informing you of other activities, services or events related to the Stuart Hall Foundation, such as film
    screenings, exhibitions, talks, research projects etc.
  • News and updates about the Stuart Hall Foundation via our supporter e-newsletter and e-mail campaigns.
  • Information on our fundraising operations, including occasional targeted requests to consider giving financial
    support to the Stuart Hall Foundation, or to ask you to consider supporting us in other ways.
  • Other relevant communications based upon your relationship with the Stuart Hall Foundation.
  • Data cleansing, to check if we have accurate contact details for you;
  • Tools may be used to monitor the effectiveness of our communications with you, including email tracking,
    which records when an e-newsletter from us is opened and/or how many links are clicked within the
    message. The data from this tracking is generally used in an aggregated and anonymised form.

You can opt out of any / all of our communications at any point simply by contacting
info@stuarthallfoundation.org.

There are some donation communications that we are required to send regardless of your contact preferences. These are essential communications, deemed necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you. This would include Direct Debit or Standing Order confirmations and advanced notices, donation reminders, Gift Aid confirmation letters and querying returned mail or bounced Direct Debit payments with you.

 

DISCLOSING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not disclose personal data to any third parties or external organisations, other than data processors carrying out work on our behalf.

Examples of such data processors would be bulk email distribution services, fundraising agencies working on our behalf, partner organisations collaborating with us on our public programme or fundraising activities.

Any such companies are acting as approved data processors for the Stuart Hall Foundation, and we retain full responsibility for your personal data. Data processors will act only on our instructions.

We may occasionally need to transfer your personal information overseas, for instance to our bulk email distributor, MailChimp. Where this is necessary, this may be to countries or territories around the world.

We are required to ensure any transfers of data will be done securely, in accordance with best practice, and in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Your data will never be sold or passed to any third party for any other purpose.

 

HOW LONG WILL WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Personal information that we process for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section, we will retain documents (including electronic documents) containing personal data:

  • To the extent that we are required to do so by law;
  • If we believe that the documents may be relevant to any ongoing or prospective legal proceedings; and
  • In order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the
    purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk).

If you request that we stop sending you marketing materials we will keep a record of your contact details and appropriate information to enable us to comply with your request not to be contacted by us.

 

HOW WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SECURE

We have implemented security procedures, rules and technical measures to protect the personal data that we have under our control from:

  • unauthorised access;
  • improper use or disclosure;
  • unauthorised modification.

All our employees and data processors, who have access to, and are associated with the processing of personal data, are legally obliged to respect the confidentiality of our visitors’ and supporters’ personal data.

 

HOW CAN I ACCESS AND CORRECT THE INFORMATION ABOUT ME

You can ask us if we are keeping any personal data about you and you can also request to receive a copy of that personal data – this is called a Subject Access Request.

To make a Subject Access Request you will need to provide adequate proof of identity such as a copy of your passport, birth certificate or driving licence before your request can be processed.

Please try to be as clear as possible about the information you are seeking.

Once we have received your Subject Access Request, the proof of identity, you will receive a response from us within 30 days and you will be able to get copies of any information we hold on you. However, exemptions to disclosure may apply in some circumstances.
