Who we are
Longborough Festival Opera is a charity and is funded by trusts, foundations and individual donors and supporters (Company No. 4119186, Registered Charity No. 1087303).
Information collection
Information you give us
When you register on our website, buy tickets or make a donation, we store personal information such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone number and card details. We also store a record of your purchases and donations.
Information about your interactions with us
When you visit our website, we collect information about how you interact with our content. When we send you a postal mailing we store a record of this, and in the case of emails we keep a record of which ones you have opened and which links you have clicked on.
Sensitive personal data
Data Protection law recognises that certain categories of personal information are more sensitive such as health information, race, religious beliefs and political opinions. We do not collect this type of information unless there is clear reason for doing so.
Legal basis
There are three bases under which we may 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 a cancellation, in the case of problems with your payment.
Legitimate business interests
In certain situations we collect and process your personal information for purposes that are in our legitimate organisational interests. We only do this if there is no overriding prejudice to you by using your data in this way. We describe below all situations where we may use this basis for processing.
With your explicit consent
For any situations where the two bases are not appropriate, we will instead ask for your consent before using your personal information in that specific situation.
Marketing communications
We aim to communicate with you about the work that we do in ways that you find relevant, timely and respectful. To do this we use data that we have stored about you, such as what events you have booked for in the past, as well as any preferences you may have told us about.
We use our legitimate organisational interest as the legal basis for communications by post and email. In the case of postal mailings you may object to receiving these at any time by using the contact details at the end of this policy. We will provide you with an option to unsubscribe in every email that we send to you, or alternatively you can use the contact details at the end of this policy.
Other processing activities
In addition to marketing communications, we also process personal information in the following ways that are within our legitimate organisational interests:
- We may analyse data that we hold about you to ensure that the content and timing of communications that we send you are as relevant to you as possible;
- We may analyse data we hold about you in order to prevent identify theft and prevent fraud;
- We may store information about you that will help us to communicate in a relevant way with you, in particular when we are approaching you about potential philanthropic support;
- In order to improve our website we may analyse information about how you use it and the content that you interact with.
In all of the above cases we will always keep your rights and interests at the forefront. You have the right to object to any of this processing at any time. If you wish to do this, please use the contact details at the end of this policy. Please bear in mind that if you object this may affect our ability to carry out tasks above that are for your benefit.
Third parties
There are certain circumstances under which we may disclose your personal information to third parties. These are as follows:
To our own service providers who process data on our behalf and on our instructions (for example our ticketing system software provider, and catering suppliers). In these cases we require that these third parties comply strictly with our instructions and with data protection laws, for example around security of personal data.
Where we are under a duty to disclose your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies).
