What data do we collect and what do we use it for?

The Surrey Mozart Players collects data from individuals to help us plan, organise and run the day-to-day operations of the Orchestra (e.g. co-ordinating rehearsals or collecting subscription payments) and to promote and market the Orchestra’s activities (e.g. marketing mailing lists and photography/video capture).

This data will be used by management committee members and other representatives agreed by them to manage your membership with the Orchestra and to organise and run our activities.

If you give us your consent to do so, we may also use your contact details to send you marketing/promotional communications from the Orchestra. We may also send you information about other issues which we think are of direct relevance to the Orchestra, and which we think may interest you (for example, information about the future of the Surrey Performing Arts Library).

Any marketing/promotional communication we send you will include a clear option to withdraw your consent (e.g. to ‘opt out’ of future emails) and you can also withdraw consent at any point by contacting the Data Protection Officer, Jo Wood.

Event attendees: for processing and managing tickets for events

Where our events are ticketed, we need to collect data on the person booking (name and email) in order to allow you access to the event and to send you a confirmation of your reservation/purchase. This data will only be used for administering your access to the event/s for which you have booked and will not be used to send you marketing/promotional messages from the group unless you have also provided your consent to receive these (see below).

We also use external organisations to handle ticketing for our events, for example the Guildford Tourist Information Centre, or the Menuhin Hall. Where we do this, we will ensure that the ticketing organisation also operates within the requirements of GDPR.

Employees and contractors: for administration and legal/regulatory purposes

We may need (for administration or for legal/regulatory reasons) to collect personal or sensitive data on employees or contractors of the group. Where this is the case, we will explain what this is for at the point of collection.

Mailing list subscribers: for marketing and promotion

We offer everybody the opportunity to sign up and consent to receive marketing and promotional information on the group’s activities (e.g. emails about forthcoming events).

When you sign-up to our marketing mailing list we will ask for your name and email address and will use this data to send you information about our events and activities (e.g. forthcoming performances, social events and fundraising events). 

We may also send you information about other issues which are of direct relevance to the Orchestra, and which we think may interest you (for example, information about the future of the Surrey Performing Arts Library).

We will not use or share your data to send you marketing messages from 3rd parties. 

Anything we send you will include a clear option to withdraw your consent (e.g. to ‘opt out’ of future emails) and you can also do so at any time by contacting the Data Protection Officer – Jo Wood, or by replying to the person who sends the emails, usually Andy Coleman at email address andyd.coleman@ntlworld.com.
