The information we collect and how we use it

Navigating and using our website will not normally require you to provide personal data.

We may gain ‘involuntary information’ through our monitoring of visits to this website. This will not generally identify individual visitors to our website and is mainly statistical. It will be used mainly to improve the website and its navigability, and to identify areas that are of most interest to visitors.

Footsteps Festival is the sole owner of the data collected and will not trade or sell your data.

We will only use data for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, for our technical, client and partner administration as well as to deliver any contractual service. We may use the data if required to do so by law and for legitimate grounds as a data officer.

Footsteps Festival engage third party suppliers (Data Processors) from time to time, to provide us with support in certain areas of our work. We will ensure contractual obligations are in place to ensure their processing of personal data is kept confidential, secure and only processed under our explicit instructions and in line with the Principles of the Data Protection Act 1998.

Footsteps Festival does not link the IP addresses with any personal identifiable information.

Sharing information with our partners

We may enter into partnerships with other organisations.

If at any point you wish to unsubscribe you can do so within the communication sent or by emailing the Data Officer at info@footsteps-festival.co.uk

Sharing information with our contractors and suppliers

There are some cases when we will share your information to support legitimate business purposes. We do this to ensure that we can meet your needs, and also to meet our health and safety obligations towards those delivering services on our behalf.

This may include sharing information with our contractors and suppliers to enable them to carry out duties on our behalf or to meet contractual obligations we may have. We will ensure that the third party supplier has the appropriate safeguards to protect your data in line with the Data Protection Act 1998 and only processes data on our instructions.
