Information Available Publicly
We may collect information such as job history, trusteeship, political preferences, locality and philanthropic activities from places such as Companies House, Google, 192.com, and information that has been published in articles/ newspapers.
We process your personal information so that we can perform our everyday functions.
We use this information for the purpose of legitimate interests being pursued by us in relation to the services or products that we provide. For example, we will use your information: to contact you to inform you about forthcoming events and to discuss our services and products (and any changes to them); to respond to any questions or concerns of feedback you have raised; to deal with administrative matters such as invoicing and renewal; and to otherwise carry out our obligations arising under a contract and to enforce the same.

In particular, we collect your information:
To carry out our business and to provide a service or carry out a contract with you:
Where we have your consent (and before any withdrawal of your consent) to:
The regularity of event promotion depends on the nature of the communication. All subscribers receive a monthly event listing guide for their county of residence. There will also be occasional artform-, project- and/ or venue-specific emails that are sent to targeted subscribers detailing specific events within their, or their near-neighbour, communities. You can amend your preferences at any time by contacting us or by logging in to your online account.
Where we have a legal obligation to:
Where we have legitimate interest to:
We also collect information to better inform our teams about (a) prospective voluntary promoters and/or rural and community venues; (b) prospective touring and/ or project artists and performing companies; and (c) donors/ supporters, to fulfil our fundraising goals. This later is to ensure we are providing appropriate opportunities for people to support our work, should this form of engagement be of interest.
We will not use your information for any other purposes unless we are required to do so by law, in connection with any legal proceedings, or in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.
Where we have relied on our legitimate interests to process your personal data, you may contact us to obtain more information, including in relation to our assessment of the impact on you.
We are committed to championing great art and culture for everyone, and to extending the reach of our rural & community touring networks, and community cinema networks. As such, we will use research from several different publicly available sources to identify potential voluntary promoter groups and/ or community venues, and areas of low arts engagement, aiding us in our service coverage activities. This may include newspaper websites and archives, voluntary organisation websites and the electoral roll as well as official websites of companies, charities, local government and other arts organisations.
If we have identified a specific voluntary promoter group or venue through this research that we believe may be interested in participating in our work, we may contact the people specifically connected to these bodies via publicly available contact information, such as a relevant work email address. If we identify an individual, we may contact them via phone or by post. We believe that this in the legitimate interest of our business needs.
We are committed to enriching the work we do by embracing a wide range of influences and practices and improving the diversity and equality of the artistic programme and artistic talent we collaborate with.
As such, we will use research from several different publicly available sources to identify potential touring artists, aiding us in our Creative Case for Diversity ratings. This may include newspaper websites and archives, entertainment agency websites and arts festival websites as well as the official websites of performing companies and other arts organisations. If we have identified a specific artist or company through this research that we believe may be interested in participating in our work, we may contact the people specifically connected to these bodies via publicly available contact information, such as a relevant work email address. If we identify an individual, we may contact them via phone or by post. We believe that this in the legitimate interest of our business needs.
We are a not-for-profit organisation and we rely on funding support to both maintain our core work creating opportunities for audiences of all ages and backgrounds to experience live and screened performances of the highest quality in their community, and to enable projects/ initiatives supporting artist development; engagement with children and young people, arts in health and wellbeing, outdoor arts, and economic and tourism development. Live & Local is not a charity.
We are committed to fundraising best practice and abide by the Fundraising Regulator's key principles and behaviours of a fundraising organisation: to be legal, open, honest and respectful. We undertake to comply with relevant law and regulations, including the Proceeds of Crime Act, Data Protection, Tax and Gift Aid legislation.
To deliver this funding we aim to better understand both our audience's engagement with Live & Local and the local voluntary promoter groups and local communities to ascertain any potential interest in supporting us further, and to identify potential future audiences and prospect individual, corporate and trust and foundation supporters through specific research.
We will do this in a number of ways:
1. Current audience
We will seek additional information from a small number of our audience, including Live & Local booking patterns, individual connections, business network information and publicly available information relating to: residential location, wealth and assets, family (not including information about children unless given personally or made public by the individual concerned), career, donations to other organisations (including political parties where they are made public by the individual), hobbies and interests to create a profile of their interests and preferences.
This helps us understand the background and interests of the people who are currently engaging with our work and may subsequently choose to support us, enabling us to make appropriate invitations and requests for donations to those who may be able and willing to give. We may also use publicly sourced information and images to help identify individuals who attend our events, and we may send information about upcoming events, workshops, talks and other invitations, if we believe these may be of interest. These could include opportunities to get closer to our work by joining our Friends Scheme, or corporate sponsorship, trust and foundation support or other relevant fundraising initiatives.
2. Current donors/ supporters
We will ask individual donors for their consent for us to email them specific fundraising email communications or email them invitations as per the benefits of their engagement with us. We will always endeavour to tell them about the aspects of our work that we think are most relevant to their interests, including ways to support our artistic programme, our artist development programmes and the work in our communities.
As part of Friends membership benefits we ask for permission or preference for accreditation in programmes and online. We respect the rights to anonymity if the supporter so requests. Our aim is to always to ensure our communications to our supporters are personal, relevant and timely, and designed to provide the most rewarding engagement with our work. We consistently review this (through methods such as asking for feedback and occasional telephone campaigns) to try and make sure we're getting this right.
We will also ask for all Friends consent to receive specific fundraising digital communications.
If you wish to receive fundraising communications via email, we encourage you to sign up to our mailing list and update your opt-in preferences. You can also do this by telling our Development Team over the phone or in person. We respect anyone's right to withdraw their consent from this form of electronic communication and once informed of a preference change, we will cease this form of contact.
3. Prospect research
We will use research from several different publicly available sources to identify potential supporters and their interests in addition to those of our current supporters, aiding us in our fundraising activities. This may include newspaper websites and archives, the electoral roll as well as official websites of companies, charities and other arts organisations. In addition to this research we also make use of company, director and shareholder information from publicly available, officially registered information providers, such trustfundraising.org, LinkedIn and 192.com.
If we have identified a specific company or trust and foundation through this research that we believe may be interested in supporting our work, we may contact the people specifically connected to these bodies via publicly available contact information, such as a relevant work email address. If we identify an individual, we may contact them via phone or by post. We believe that this in the legitimate interest of our fundraising needs.
The Development Team monitors potential donations and corporate partnerships for compliance and risk. Final decisions may be escalated to the Board. It is our Board's responsibility to act in the best long-term interest of Live & Local and to act prudently when deciding to accept or refuse voluntary contributions. The Board will refuse a gift if it can reasonably conclude that its acceptance would be more likely to be detrimental to the organisation than its refusal.
There are three legal bases under which we process your data.
Contract Purposes
When you make a purchase from us or donate to us, you are entering into a contract with us. In order to perform this contract, we need to process and store your data.
Explicit Consent
When appropriate, we will ask you for your explicit consent before using your personal information in specific situations. We will update your consent periodically. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time, and this can be done by contacting our Data Protection Team.
Legitimate Business Interests
We collect and process your personal information for purposes that are in our legitimate organisational interests. We do this carefully, and in a way that we believe there is no overriding prejudice to you by using your personal information in this way. You have the right to object, amongst other rights explained later in this document.
Your information will be shared internally amongst our staff but they will only use it to carry out their duties in line with the purposes set out above.
Live & Local will never share, sell, rent or trade your personal information to any third parties for marketing or fundraising purposes without your prior consent. We will ask for your consent to share personal information with organisations whose work we have toured and which you may have seen in your local community venue. These requests will be specific to the individual organisation so that your consent decision is informed. We will ask for your consent to share personal information with the local voluntary promoter group and/ or community venue in which you may have seen one of the touring shows.
Your personal data might be passed to a third-party data processor from time to time if they need it in order to fulfil your order(s) for our goods and services, or to execute the communications we send to you, or in order to provide us with professional accounting or legal advice, or due to our obligations to comply with current legislation and bank transactions, or our duty to comply with a regulatory authority in accordance with our legal obligations. These organisations are obligated to act on our instruction in relation to their use of your personal data and do not have any control over your data in their own right. If another entity acquires us or our assets, your information may be disclosed to that entity as part of the due diligence process and, if the acquisition goes ahead, your information will be transferred to that entity. We ensure anyone who provides a service for Live & Local enters into a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement with us and meets our standards for data security. They will not use your data for anything other than the clearly defined purpose relating to the service that they are providing. Furthermore, any data that is processed by third parties must be processed within the terms of this policy and in accordance with the United Kingdom Data Protection Act 1998 and General Data Protection Regulation 2018.
Examples of what data we may share and/or who we may share it with are as follows:
This website contains links to other websites. Live & Local is not responsible for the content or data protection / privacy policies of third party websites connected to our site. Live & Local recommends that you check the policy of each website you visit and contact its owner or the data team if you have any concerns or questions. The policy described here, applies only to personal data collected by the Live & Local.
Live & Local is committed to protecting the personal information you entrust to us. We adopt robust and appropriate managerial, physical and technological procedures and policies, so the information we have about you is protected from unauthorised access and improper use. We ensure that any third parties we use for processing your personal data do the same. We limit internal access to your personal data to only those who require it and provide all our staff with Data Protection and Information Security training. We ensure that high standards of security and protection are met by abiding by our data protection policies and procedures, and these are governed by the Management Team and the Board of Trustees.
All our staff are required to protect your information and inform you of how your information will be used. This includes, in most circumstances, allowing you to decide if and how your information can be shared. Everyone working for Live & Local is subject to the duty of confidentiality. Information provided in confidence will only be used for the purposes advised and consented to by the service user, unless it is required or permitted by law.
Whenever your information is stored online, we have a data sharing agreement with the data processor which states the requirements of high level security for your personal data. Should there be a breach of this data, they are obliged to inform us immediately and we will then inform you if it is necessary under data protection guidance. It is your right to be informed. When we do send you information, we do so securely and are committed to reporting any breaches of data during its transit. Whenever possible all information that identifies you will be removed.
Where is your information stored?
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the internet and the transmission of information via the internet are not fully secure. Although we will use reasonable endeavours to protect your personal data and prevent unauthorised access to it by storing it on a secure server which is password protected and hidden behind a firewall from the outside world, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (EEA). By way of example, this may happen if any of the computer servers used to host the website are located in a country outside of the EEA. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our service providers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. If Live & Local transfers your personal information outside of the EEA in this way, we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this privacy notice. When we, or our permitted third parties, transfer your information outside the European Economic Area, we or they will impose obligations on the recipients of that data to protect your information to the standard required in the European Economic Area or otherwise require the recipient to subscribe to international frameworks intended to enable secure data sharing. In the case of transfers by us, we may also transfer your information where: (i) the transfer is to a country deemed to provide adequate protection of your information by the European Commission; or (ii) where you have consented to the transfer.
Live & Local may transfer your data to the USA to organisations such as Facebook, Google or MailChimp. The USA has weaker data protection laws than that of the EEA and therefore we will ensure that only organisations who are a part of the EU privacy shield initiative will handle your personal information. More details on this certification can be found at www.privacyshield.gov/welcome

How long will we keep your information?
We will keep your information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice and to fulfil our legal obligations. We will not keep more information than we need. The retention period will vary according to the purpose, for example if purchasing a ticket only, we will typically keep your data for up to ten years from the date of your last point of engagement whereas if you have become a supporter of Live & Local, we will hold your details indefinitely.

When determining the relevant retention periods, we will take into account factors including:
Otherwise, we securely erase your information once it is no longer needed.
If you ask us to stop sending direct marketing communications to you, we will retain the minimum amount of information required to ensure we adhere with such requests (e.g. name, address or email address).
You should find it easy to access and amend the personal information that we hold on you, or request that we stop contacting you. It's your data and we want to make sure you feel in control of it.
