Privacy Notice
Under the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation, which came into force on 25th May 2018, the Corn Exchange Wallingford Ltd (CEWL) – a ‘Data Controller’ for the purposes of the GDPR – must let all of our volunteers and patrons know:
- what our lawful basis is for using their data
- what personal data we hold and how we use it
- what is the source of these data
- how long we keep the data and when we would erase it
- that a person is entitled to see the personal data we have for them.
Lawful Basis
Volunteers information is kept on the basis of‘Legitimate Interest’ to enable the CEWL to run its business. This allows us to use a volunteer’s data in a way that they would reasonably expect us to, and which does not override their interests in any way.
Patrons details are kept to allow CEWL to provide them with an online ticketing service. We would also like to occasionally send patrons an email with information about events at the Corn Exchange that may be of interest to them – we will only do this if a Patron has opted in to receive such emails; patrons can opt in or out of this service whenever they wish by updating their preferences or by sending a request to dataprotectionofficer@cornexchange.org.uk
After the COVID-19 pandemic CEWL has been working with some national organisations to understand how venues such as the Corn Exchange can rebuild its portfolio of events and retain its loyal audience. To this end we have joined a project called Audience Finder. This is funded by the Arts Council and is intended to capture data which represents the pattern of attendance at arts events. To do this we have shared some personal details from our box office data with this organisation.
This is an extract from their Privacy Policy:
“The Audience Agency processes limited personal information from audience members on behalf of participating, data-controlling organisations who manage that personal information, in order to provide them with analytical services, comprising fully anonymised outputs, which can help those organisations to best plan and evidence their impact and reach, to help them become more sustainable, to provide a better and more relevant cultural offering to the public, and to help ensure that public subsidy may have the greatest impact.
We collect and process personal information, comprising transactional data from ticket purchases made by audience members at participating arts and cultural venues, through regular, automated data extractions from the source ticketing systems used by those venues or organisations. We only collect and process personal information that is necessary to provide the anonymised statistical analyses that comprise the Audience Finder service.
The Audience Agency never uses the personal information that it processes in Audience Finder for the purpose of contacting any individuals. Neither will we ever sell, share, trade or rent any personal information that we process with any third-party organisations. ”
