What information do we hold?

Information that you provide to us such as your name, address, telephone number, email address and, rarely, payment details. 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 websites (www.independentdance.co.uk), 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) from 25 May 2018.
