Privacy Policy

Visit Newbury is part of Newbury Business Improvement District Community Interest Company (company number 06977701). Newbury BID CIC is the controller for the personal data we process, unless otherwise stated. This privacy policy explains how we use any personal information we collect about you when you engage with us.

Quick View

What information do we collect about you?

We may collect personal data from you (for example your name, address, email address and telephone number) when you contact us by post, telephone, email or social media, when you voluntarily complete one of our online forms, when you sign up for our newsletter, or when you place a booking with us.

We may also collect personal data (for example photographs and videos) when you attend one of our events.

In addition to this, website usage information is collected using cookies.

Please note that all data captured is used and held in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) 2016 and the Data Protection Act (DPA) 2018.

Who might we share your data with?

We will not share your information with any third parties for the purposes of direct marketing. We will only share your personal data with Government bodies and law enforcement agencies (if required by law), any successors in title to our business, and suppliers we engage to process the data on our behalf (these may include direct mail fulfilment houses, email marketing providers, and third-party contractors). We have contracts in place with our data processors, which means they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will not share your personal information with any organisation apart from us. They will hold it securely and retain it for the period we instruct.

In the case of photos and videos, we may share these with social media platforms and publications such as the Newbury Weekly News for promotional purposes.

Will your data be processed outside of the European Economic Area?

Given that the Internet is a global environment, using it to collect and process personal data may involve the transmission of data on an international basis. This means, for instance, that data you pass to us may be processed outside the European Economic Area, although the data will always be held securely and in line with the requirements of UK data protection legislation. In particular, your data may be processed in the U.S. by MailChimp and Office365. Suitable safeguards are in place in relation to these international transfers. Please email or write to us at the address below to obtain a copy of these safeguards.

How long will your personal data be stored for?

Your personal data will be retained for a period of up to two years from the last time you engage with Visit Newbury or Newbury BID, which can include submitting an enquiry to us, opening an email from us, clicking on a link within an email from us, or unsubscribing from our marketing. If you unsubscribe, your personal data will be suppressed for marketing purposes, and your email address will be retained for up to two years to provide a unique identifier to log a record of your previous consent and your withdrawal of consent/objection to marketing.

Photos and videos taken for promotional activity will be retained indefinitely to maintain a visual record of past events, and to be used for future promotional purposes (including by any appointed third parties). Please note that you may request any photos or videos of you be deleted – please contact us to request this.

Please note, in line with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 2018, all subject access requests will be responded to without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt of the request.
