• To inform you of news, events, activities and performances running at The Island Savoyards and other local groups;
• To share your contact details, specific interests and previous participation with the creative team of a show so that they can keep you informed about read-throughs, auditions, rehearsals of shows to be staged by Island Savoyards and events, activities and performances that will be organised by the society or other groups in the area in which you may be interested.

• To share with third parties, where appropriate, for the purposes of the society – such as programme/poster printing.

  -the processing relates only to members or former members (or those who have regular contact with it in connection with the Society’s purposes); and
  -there is no disclosure to a third party without consent.

5. Sharing your personal data
Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential and will only be shared with other members of the society in order to carry out the purposes of the Society or for purposes connected with the Society. We will only share your data with third parties outside of the Society with your consent.

6. How long do we keep your personal data?
We keep data for no longer than reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in paragraph 3 and this may mean that we will retain your contact details indefinitely while The Island Savoyards is in existence unless you request that they be deleted from our records.
