Warwick Arts Centre is a department of the University of Warwick. We take data protection seriously and are committed to protecting your personal data and are transparent about the information Warwick Arts Centre holds about you. The purpose of this Privacy Notice is to inform you how we use and look after your personal data when you engage with Warwick Arts Centre, and also inform you of your privacy rights.

About this notice

We ask that you read this Privacy Notice carefully as it contains important information on who we are, how and why we collect, store, use and share personal data, your rights in relation to your personal data and on how to contact us and supervisory authorities in the event that you have a query or complaint.

The University of Warwick, acting through Warwick Arts Centre, is committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal data. The purpose of this notice is to promote transparency in the use of personal data, and to outline how Warwick Arts Centre collects and uses personal data during and after your working or visiting relationship with us, in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation 2016 (“ UK GDPR”) which is now incorporated in the the Data Protection Act 2018 (“DPA 2018”) and DPA 2018.

Warwick Arts Centre collects, uses and is responsible for certain personal data about you. This is known as “processing”. When we do so we are regulated under the UK GDPR and DPA 2018 which applies across the European Union and we are responsible as “data controller” of that personal data for the purposes of those laws.

The purpose of this notice is to explain how the University of Warwick, acting through Warwick Arts Centre, will collect and use (process) your personal data, what rights you have in relation to that data and to provide transparency about the data collected about you.

The University of Warwick is the data controller under the UK GDPR and the DPA 2018 and we will process your personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR and DPA 2018 at all times. You, as a “data subject”, therefore have specific rights to the data that we hold, collect and process.

Throughout this notice, “Warwick Arts Centre”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to the University of Warwick acting through Warwick Arts Centre; “you” and “your” refer to those expressing an interest in using the services of the Warwick Arts Centre.
