Your personal data – what is it?

“Personal data” is any information about a living individual which allows them to be identified from that data (for example a name, photographs, videos, email address, or address).  Identification can be directly using the data itself or by combining it with other information which helps to identify a living individual (e.g. a list of staff may contain personnel ID numbers rather than names but if you use a separate list of the ID numbers which give the corresponding names to identify the staff in the first list then the first list will also be treated as personal data).  The processing of personal data is governed by legislation relating to personal data which applies in the United Kingdom including the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR) and other legislation relating to personal data and rights such as the Human Rights Act.  

Who are we?   

This Privacy Notice is provided to you by 24/7 Event Crew Ltd which is the data controller for your data.   

Other data controllers the company works with:  

 e.g. other data controllers, such as  

Suppliers   
Contractors  
Credit reference agencies

We may need to share your personal data we hold with them so that they can carry out their responsibilities to the company.  If we and the other data controllers listed above are processing your data jointly for the same purposes, then the company and the other data controllers may be “joint data controllers” which mean we are all collectively responsible to you for your data. Where each of the parties listed above are processing your data for their own independent purposes then each of us will be independently responsible to you and if you have any questions, wish to exercise any of your rights (see below) or wish to raise a complaint, you should do so directly to the relevant data controller.  

A description of what personal data the company processes and for what purposes is set out in this Privacy Notice.    

The company will process some or all the following personal data where necessary to perform its tasks:  

Names, titles, and aliases, photographs.  
Contact details such as telephone numbers, addresses, and email addresses.  
Where they are relevant to the services provided by a company, or where you provide them to us, we may process information such as gender, age, marital status, nationality, education/work history, academic/professional qualifications, hobbies, family composition, and dependants; 
Where you pay for activities or services, financial identifiers such as bank account numbers, payment card numbers, payment/transaction identifiers, policy numbers, and claim numbers.  
The personal data we process may include sensitive or other special categories of personal data such as criminal convictions, racial or ethnic origin, mental and physical health, details of injuries, medication/treatment received, political beliefs, trade union affiliation, genetic data, biometric data, data concerning and sexual life or orientation.  

How we use sensitive personal data    

We may process sensitive personal data including, as appropriate:  

information about your physical or mental health or condition to monitor sick leave and take decisions on your fitness for work. 
your racial or ethnic origin or religious or similar information to monitor compliance with equal opportunities legislation. 
to comply with legal requirements and obligations to third parties.  

These types of data are described in the GDPR as “Special categories of data” and require higher levels of protection. We need to have further justification for collecting, storing, and using this type of personal data.   

We may process special categories of personal data in the following circumstances:  

In limited circumstances, with your explicit written consent.  
Where we need to carry out our legal obligations.  
Where it is needed in the public interest.  
Less commonly, we may process this type of personal data where it is needed in relation to legal claims or where it is needed to protect your interests (or someone else’s interests) and you are not capable of giving your consent, or where you have already made the information public.   

Do we need your consent to process your sensitive personal data?  

In limited circumstances, we may approach you for your written consent to allow us to process certain sensitive personal data.  If we do so, we will provide you with full details of the personal data that we would like and the reason we need it, so that you can carefully consider whether you wish to consent.   

The company will comply with the General Data Protection Regulation 2018. This says that the personal data we hold about you must be:  

Used lawfully, fairly and in a transparent way.  
Collected only for valid purposes that we have clearly explained to you and not used in any way that is incompatible with those purposes.  
Relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes.  
Accurate and kept up to date.  
Kept only if necessary, for the purposes we have told you about.  
Kept and destroyed securely including ensuring that appropriate technical and security measures are in place to protect your personal data to protect personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, and disclosure.  

We use your personal data for some or all the following purposes:  

To deliver services including Training. 
To understand your needs to provide the services that you request and to understand what we can do for you and inform you of other relevant services.  
To confirm your identity to provide some services.  
To contact you by post, email, telephone or using social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp); 
To help us to build up a picture of how we are performing.   
To enable us to meet all legal and statutory obligations and powers including any delegated functions. 
To carry out comprehensive safeguarding procedures (including due diligence and complaints handling) in accordance with best safeguarding practice from time to time with the aim of ensuring that all children and adults at-risk are provided with safe environments and generally as necessary to protect individuals from harm or injury;

What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?  

The company has certain powers and obligations.  Most of your personal data is processed for compliance with a legal obligation which includes the discharge of the company’s statutory functions and powers.  We will always consider your interests and rights.  This Privacy Notice sets out your rights and the company’s obligations to you.  

We may process personal data if it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or to take steps to enter a contract.    

Sometimes the use of your personal data requires your consent. We will first obtain your consent to that use. 

Sharing your personal data 

This section provides information about the third parties with whom the company may share your personal data.  These third parties have an obligation to put in place appropriate security measures and will be responsible to you directly because they process and protect your personal data. It is likely that we will need to share your data with some or all the following (but only where necessary):  

The data controllers listed above under the heading “Other data controllers the company works with”. 
Our agents, suppliers, and contractors. For example, we may ask a commercial provider to publish or distribute newsletters on our behalf, or to maintain our database software. 
On occasion, other companies with which we are carrying out joint ventures   

How long do we keep your personal data?  

We will keep some records permanently if we are legally required to do so.  We may keep some other records for an extended period.  For example, it is currently best practice to keep financial records for a minimum period of 8 years to support HMRC audits or provide tax information.  We may have legal obligations to retain some data in connection with our statutory obligations.  The company is permitted to retain data to defend or pursue 

claims.  In some cases, the law imposes a time limit for such claims (for example 3 years for personal injury claims or 6 years for contract claims).  We will retain some personal data for this purpose if we believe it is necessary to be able to defend or pursue a claim.  In general, we will endeavour to keep data only for as long as we need it.  This means that we will delete it when it is no longer needed.
