The security of your personal information is critically important to us.

• partner organisations and creative practitioners
• recipients of our funding
• those who supply us with goods and services

 

This personal information must be handled properly under the Data Protection Act 1998 (‘the DPA’) and the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (‘the GDPR’). This legislation regulates the way that we handle personal data that we collect in the course of carrying out our work and gives certain rights to people whose personal data we may hold.

Personal data means any recorded information held by us and from which an individual can be identified, including names, addresses, telephone numbers and other personal details.  This information is gathered in a variety of ways including:

Your personal information will only be used within Creative Kernow Ltd and its wholly-owned subsidiary companies Krowji Ltd, Cornwall Arts Marketing Ltd and Screen Cornwall Ltd so far as is reasonably necessary. It will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent or unless we are required to do so by law.

 

Your right to access, change or remove personal information

You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you by contacting us at info@creativekernow.org.uk. You can ask us to change or remove this information unless we are required by law to retain it (for example, in the case of previous employees or tenants). Once we have received your request we will comply or explain why we cannot comply within 30 days.

 

Marketing

You may instruct us at any time not to process your personal information for marketing purposes. We will ask you to consent in advance to our use of your personal information for marketing purposes and we will always provide you with an opportunity to opt out of the use of your personal information for marketing purposes.

 

Website visitors

Like most website operators, Creative Kernow collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.  We collect this non-personally-identifying information to better understand how visitors use our websites. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g. by publishing a report on trends in the usage of our websites.

 

Gathering of personally-identifying information

Some visitors to our websites choose to interact with them in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who register with our Cultivator programme to provide a password and email address.  In each case, Creative Kernow collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with the site.

 

Privacy Notice changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Creative Kernow may change this Privacy Notice from time to time and we encourage visitors to check this page regularly for any changes. Your continued use of our websites after any change in this Privacy Notice will constitute your acceptance of such change.
