How do we collect your personal information?
You may give us your information when you subscribe to our mailing list via our website, when you contact us with an enquiry, book a workshop or other activity, seek assistance, make a donation to us, fundraise on our behalf, or otherwise give us personal information.

What information do we collect?
Personal information is any information that can be used to identify you. For example, it can include information such as your name, date of birth, email address, postal address, telephone number, and credit/debit card details, as well as information relating to your health or personal circumstances. Data protection law recognises that certain categories of personal information are more sensitive. This is known as sensitive personal information and covers health information, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs or other beliefs or a similar nature, political opinion and trade union membership. We would only collect sensitive personal information where there is a clear need to do so such as participation within a workshop situation (allergies, health information), to ascertain what services are required to support you. Before collecting any sensitive personal information about you we will make it clear to you what information we are collecting and the purposes for collecting such.

How do we use your information?
We use your personal information to: 

• give you the information, support, services, or products you ask for
• keep a record of your relationship with us and for internal administrative purposes (such as our accounting and records)
• let you know about changes to our services or policies
• look into, and respond to, complaints, legal claims or other issues.

We use personal data to carry out statistical analysis and research in order to help us to understand how we are performing and how we can improve our services and the reach of our work.

We may also use your personal information for other purposes which we specifically notify you about and, where appropriate, obtain your consent. For example, with your consent, we may use your information to send you communications about our work and how you can help us to help you, for example, information about our campaigns, and fundraising activities and how you can donate to us.

You can let us know if you would prefer not to receive these communications at any time by info@ignitemusic.org. 

Who do we share your information with?

We will not share or sell your details to any third parties.

We may share information with our financial and legal advisers for the purposes of obtaining advice and protecting our legal rights. We may also share your information with the emergency services if we think there is a risk of serious harm or abuse to you or someone else.

When we collect your personal information, we use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorised access. However, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, W11 Opera cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.

If you are aged 16 or under, you must get your parent/guardian’s permission before you provide us with any personal information.
