Introduction
The Heart of Devon promises to respect any personal data you share with us and keep it safe. We feel that the right thing to do when we collect your data is to be clear what we are going to do with it and not do anything with it that you wouldn’t reasonably expect.
Where we collect information about you
We collect information in the following way:
- When you sign up to our news-letter/mailing list through our website, we collect your email address. This is the minimum set of credentials that will enable us to send you information on our up-coming events.
- Paper based mailing list at our events. When you sign up to our news-letter/mailing list via our paper forms, we also only collect your email address. The forms will be collected at the end of the event and will be securely shredded within one week.
Both collections will register you with a Mailchimp subscription which will allow us to send emails to you about our music events. We promise to never send you emails with content other than what you have shown a legitimate interest in.
You can opt out of receiving our newsletter by clicking the unsubscribe option at the bottom of each newsletter email. You can also contact us directly at dataprotection@theheartofdevon.co.uk
