Data Protection and Privacy Policy

By using our website, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information in the manner set out below.

Any personal data relating to you will be used by us in accordance with the Data protection Act 1998. Such personal data will be collected, processed and used by us or our agents/service providers for the purpose of registration.

We may also make use of such data for administration purposes and future enhancement of benefits as well as marketing, advertising and promotional purposes, which may include sharing the data with our agents/service providers or marketing companies. Kauma Arts may collect or use information on current, past and prospective employees, suppliers, students, visitors and others with whom it communicates. Examples of personal information includes names, photographs, contact details, gender and age. In addition, Kauma Arts may occasionally be required by law to collect and use certain types of personal information to comply with the requirements of government departments for business data (e.g. health and safety statistics).

Personal information must be dealt with properly irrespective of how it is collected, recorded and used – whether on paper, electronically or recorded on other media.

You have the right to ask us for a copy of your information we hold on you, for which we may charge a small fee, and to correct any inaccuracies.

There are safeguards to ensure this in the United Kingdom’s Data Protection Act 1998 (the Act). Kauma Arts regards the lawful and correct treatment of personal information as important to successful operations and to the maintenance of confidence between it and those with whom it deals.

This policy applies both in the UK and overseas. We will ensure that our staff and those acting on our behalf obtain, use and disclose personal information lawfully and correctly. To this end we fully endorse and adhere to the principles of data protection, as set out in the Act.
Specifically, the principles require that personal information shall:

  • be processed fairly and lawfully and, in particular, shall not be processed unless specific conditions are met
  • be obtained only for one or more specified and lawful purposes, and shall not be further processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes
  • be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose or purposes for which it is processed
  • be accurate and, where necessary, kept up-to-date
  • not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes
  • be processed in accordance with the rights of the individual under the Act
  • have in place appropriate technical and organisational measures against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal information
