This privacy policy explains how we use any personal information we hold about you and your rights in this regard.
Theatre-Rites will respect any personal data that you share with us; we are committed to keeping your information secure and managing it in accordance with our privacy policy and our legal responsibilities under privacy and data protection laws.
We are required to have a lawful basis for processing your personal data and the new legislation places emphasis on us being accountable for, and transparent about this.
There are 6 lawful bases for processing an individual’s data:
- Consent: you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose.
- Contract: the processing is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract.
- Legal obligation: the processing is necessary for us to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations).
- Vital interests: the processing is necessary to protect someone’s life.
- Public task: the processing is necessary for us to perform a task in the public interest or for our official functions, and the task or function has a clear basis in law.
- Legitimate interests: the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party unless there is a good reason to protect the individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests. (This cannot apply if we are a public authority processing data to perform our official tasks.)
In most cases, our lawful basis for processing data will be Consent, Contract, Legal obligation and legitimate interest. We will explain why we are collecting data and what we will use it for.
