Hammerpuzzle Privacy Policy

With the changes to General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), we’re required to clarify what personal information we hold about you, why we store it and how we store it

Regarding reasons for processing, GDPR sets out 6 reasons why data may be processed. These are:

  • Consent (when a data subject gives consent)
  • Contract (in order to be able to deliver or enter in to a contract)
  • Legal obligation (where the law requires it)
  • Vital interests (to protect someone’s life)
  • Public task (to perform a task in the public interest or for official functions)
  • Legitimate interests (necessary for your legitimate interests unless there is a good reason to protect the individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests)

We collect data via these methods:

  • Through hard-copy evaluation forms at our events

We collect data for these purposes:

  • To keep audiences informed about Hammerpuzzle news
  • To collect feedback and map audience reach of those that experience our events

EVALUATION FORMS

  • Our hard-copy and digital evaluation forms are very important to the development of Hammerpuzzle and to our funders and sponsors. On our evaluation forms we will ask you a number of questions about our work and collect some of your data.
  • At most we collect your name/organisation name, email address, ageand postcode through our online and offline evaluation forms.
  • We collect your postcode so that we can map our audience reach but do not publish individual postcodes anywhere online or offline. This data may be shared with our funders and sponsors. This presentation of information will never be linked to any other personal identifying information e.g. your name.
  • Your name and email is never published anywhere, but is kept in a password protected document for administration purposes only.
  • If you provide us with feedback, we will ask for your consent to use this feedback publicly on social media platforms or our website. We will not share your feedback publicly without your consent to do so.
