Your privacy is important to us. We want you to feel secure when you provide us with your personal data, whatever your reason is for contacting us. Here you can find detailed information about the way we process personal data and comply with relevant laws. We also explain your rights in relation to the Alfie Atkins Cultural Centre and how to exercise these rights. It is important that you feel secure about the way we process your personal data.

The Alfie Atkins Cultural Centre is responsible for and committed to protecting all personal data we process in our daily operations. It is important to us that people who are invited to our events, people who work at Alfie Atkins’ or apply for work with us, our visitors, customers and suppliers feel secure about how we process and store their personal data.

What are personal data?

Personal data refers to any type of information that can be used directly or indirectly to identify a living individual. For example, images and sound recordings that are processed on a computer can be personal data even if no names are mentioned. Encrypted data and different types of electronic identities (such as IP addresses) are considered personal data if they can be linked to a physical person.

Any operation relating to personal data is regarded as processing, whether performed with or without automated means, such as collection, registration, organisation, structuring, storage, alteration, transmission and erasure.

The Alfie Atkins Cultural Centre is the data controller

The Alfie Atkins Cultural Centre is the data controller of all types of personal data that we retain. This applies to all processes within our organisation. We process your personal data in compliance with applicable data protection legislation, which as of 25 May 2018 is the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). On that date, the GDPR came into force throughout the EU. Focusing on increased privacy protection, the GDPR regulates processing and handling of personal data.

Personal data that we process

In connection with bookings, applications, orders, purchases, enquiries or other contact, we may register, among other data: your name, personal identity number, address, telephone number, email address, professional position, the department you work in, invoicing address, current and previous employment dates, professional experience, educational grades and other certifications. In other respects, we process your personal data in accordance with the preferences you indicate, for instance when you contact us by email or fill out forms on our website.

The Alfie Atkins Cultural Centre does not collect or process sensitive personal data such as information about your health or ethnicity. Moreover, we never enter personal data in our database, which only contains information related to orders.

The Alfie Atkins Cultural Centre processes your personal data to meet our obligations to you and provide a high level of service. This might be in connection with payroll administration, purchases via our online shop, processing of bookings for school visits, payment of invoices, responding to emails or sending invitations to events.

How we process your personal data?

We are obliged to comply with applicable laws in order to process your personal data. This means we must always have a legal basis for data processing. One example of a valid legal basis is that you have given your consent for us to process your data. Other valid legal bases for processing personal data are: to enable us to fulfil our contractual obligations to you; to comply with legal obligations; on the basis of legitimate interests.
