What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?
Mostof our data is processed because it is necessary for our legitimate interests to provide room/hall hire; classes at the Centre; and charitable activities within the Borough. We will always take into account your interests, rights and freedoms.
We may also process data if it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or to take steps to enter into a contract. An example of this would be processing your data in connection with hire of the Centre’s facilities as described above; or using the services of the room and hall hirers at our Centre.
Where your information is used other than in accordance with one of these legal bases, we will first obtain your consent to that use.

Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential. It will only be shared with third parties where it is necessary for the performance of our tasks or where you first give us your prior consent. Such third parties may include:
Our agents, servants and contractors. For example, we may ask a commercial provider t send out newsletters on our behalf, or to maintain our database software:
Other persons or organisations operating within the Borough;

We will keep some records permanently if we are legally required to do so. We may keep some other records for an extended period of time. For example, it is current best practice to keep financial records for a minimum period of 7 years to support HMRC audits. In general, we will endeavour to keep data only for as long as we need it.
