Who we are
Spitalfields Festival Ltd, trading as Spitalfields Music, is a charitable company limited by guarantee in England and Wales (Company number: 3138347, Charity number: 1052043). Spitalfields Music is the data controller of your personal information.
Information collection
We will only collect information when you interact with us. We collect various types of information and in a number of ways.
• Information you give us, for example, when you register on our website, buy tickets or make a donation we’ll store information you give us, including your name, email address, postal address, telephone number and card details. We will also store a record of your purchases and donations.
• Information about your interactions with us, for example how you interact with content on our website. We keep records of mailings we sent you and in the case of emails we also keep a record of which you have opened and which links you have clicked on.
• We may occasionally receive information about you from third parties. This could include third party research companies who provide general information compiled using publicly available data. For example, this could include searching the internet for details of whether customers work in the local area.
• We may collect sensitive personal data, recognised under Data Protection law as information about health, race, religious beliefs and political opinions. We do not usually collect this type of information unless there is a clear reason for doing so, for example if we need to request health information from participants in a workshop. We may also request this information as part of data gathering for surveys. In these cases, data would be anonymised and could not be linked back to a specific individual.
When you attend events, we may take photographs of the audience group which may include identifiable individuals. These photographs could be used for several different purposes, including marketing, reporting and archiving. We will always give notice of photography at our events and our photographers will be clearly identifiable. Photographs will not be linked to individuals by name without prior consent.
The purpose of processing your data
As a participant, we only collect information that we need to carry out our business. We need personal details from you in order to fulfil our obligations to you. This includes providing you with information about the organisation, and your interaction with us on projects and may also extend to understanding how best to support you in order to participate in one of our projects.
Legal basis

Contract Basis
When you make a purchase from us or give us a donation, 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 cancellation of a show, or in the case of problems with your payment.
Legitimate Interest
In certain situations we collect and process your personal data for purposes that are in our legitimate organisational interests. However, we only do this if there is no overriding prejudice to you by using your personal information in this way. Below there are descriptions of instances in which we may use this basis for processing.
Consent
For any situations where the two bases above are not appropriate, we will instead ask for your explicit consent before using your personal information in that specific situation.

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 using the contact details at the end of this policy. In the case of email, we will give you an opportunity to opt out of receiving them during your first purchase with us. If you do not opt out, we will provide you with an option to unsubscribe in every email that we subsequently sent you, or you can alternatively use the contact details at the end of this policy.
We may also contact you about our work by telephone however we will always get explicit consent from you before doing this. Please bear in mind that this does not apply to telephone calls that we may need to make to you related to your purchases.
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 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 identify and prevent fraud.
In order to improve our website we may analyse information about how you use it and the content and ads that you interact with.
We may use profiling techniques or third party wealth screening and insight companies to provide us with 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. Such information is compiled using publicly available data about you.
In all of the above cases we will always keep your rights and interests at the forefront to ensure they are not overridden by our interests. 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:
