How we get the personal information and why we have it

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you during the process of your application, and our ongoing contact with you regarding your application. We use the information that you have given us in order to update you on the status of your application, and if successful to contact you about your involvement in the festival. If you wish, we may also contact you regarding future opportunities to perform at events promoted by Durham Fringe CIC.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),
we rely on the lawful basis of legitimate interest for processing this information in relation to your application. We rely on the basis of consent to inform you about future opportunities. You are able to remove your consent at any time. You can do this by contacting [email protected]

How we store your personal information

Your information is securely stored by Durham Fringe CIC or one of our data processing partners, including Google, Jot Form and others.  We may use third party tools to help us manage our mailing list and to facilitate our communications with you. It will not be accessed by anyone outside of Durham Fringe CIC, unless we have a legal obligation to provide such access.

We keep your contact details for 5 years after you last performed with us as we may be legally required to disclose them to third parties. If you have opted to receive future communications, then we will keep your contact details either until you withdraw your consent, or for the minimum period after your last performance, whichever is longer. We will then dispose your information.
