Privacy Policy

We may collect your information in several different ways:

Most of the information we hold is provided directly by you. For example, you may give us your information in order to purchase a workshop or visit. We will also collect your information if you email, phone or write to us.

You may also have provided us with your information if you are an employee, friend, patron or any other type of supporter or member.

Depending on your privacy settings, we may also collect information about you from your interaction on one of the Social Media platforms we use; for example if you post on our Facebook or Twitter pages or visit our YouTube channel.

When you access our website Horrid Historia will collect the following kinds of information from visitors:

• Your personal details through registration and site usage information, using "cookies" and page tagging techniques. Cookies enable our system to recognise your computer and allow us to see how you use the website.
• When you register on the website, or any external online system we use, we will ask you to input and will collect personal information from you such as your name, e-mail address, billing address, delivery address, telephone number, product selections, credit card or other payment information and a password.
• We may also collect information about where you are on the internet (e.g. the URL you came from, IP address, domain types such as."co.uk" and ".com"), your browser type, the country you accessed the site from, the pages of our website that were viewed during your visit and any search terms that you entered on our website ("User Information"). We may collect this information even if you do not register with us.

On some occasions we may also collect publicly available information about you.

Horrid Historia is the sole owner of the information collected on our website www.horridhistoria.co.uk

Horrid Historia uses your personal information in the following ways:

• To administer and fulfil your online purchases or donations;
• To maintain an accurate record of your relationship with us and manage your contact preferences;
• To administer, operate and improve our events, workshops, fundraising activities;
• Where you have agreed, to send you information about our workshops and research;
• Statistical purposes to improve the website and its services to you;
• Servicing website content;
• Administering the website;
• Administration of membership(s);
• In-house research and statistical analysis;
• Communication about membership, fundraising and other activities;

Processing personal data for the above purposes may entail sharing the information with employees, contractors, agents and professional advisors of Horrid Historia and other carefully selected organisations.

If you have agreed to receive our newsletter, we will send you regular updates that will include information about our events, special offers and fundraising activities. If you book a workshop we will contact you afterwards to obtain your feedback.

You also may decide to send us personally identifying information, for example, in an electronic mail message containing a question or comment. We use personally identifying information from email primarily to respond to your requests. We may forward your email to other employees who are better able to answer your questions. We may also use your email to contact you in the future about our organisation or to contact you when necessary. Emails and telephone calls will be used for the purposes outlined at the time of collection or registration in accordance with the preferences you express.

Horrid Historia has implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised alteration or destruction. Please note, however, that where you are transmitting information to us over the internet this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

For any payments which we take from you online we will use a recognised online secure payment system. Horrid Historia will notify you promptly in the event of any breach of your personal data which might expose you to serious risk.

Horrid Historia will never sell your personal data. We will not share your personal data with any third parties without your prior consent (which you are free to withhold) except where required to do so by law.

In some circumstances, disclosures of personal information to the police (and other law enforcement agencies) are permitted by data protection legislation, if they relate to the prevention or detection of crime and/or the apprehension or prosecution of offenders. Before any such disclosure takes place, the police are required to demonstrate that the personal information concerned is necessary for them to carry out a proper investigation. Each police request received by Horrid Historia is dealt with on a strictly case-by-case basis to ensure that any such disclosure is lawful and carried out in accordance with relevant guidance issued by the Information Commissioner's Office.

At each point of data collection or registration you will be asked for your consent to receive future direct marketing material from Horrid Historia. Your consent will be recorded and as a result we may send you information on future workshops or special offers we have in place.

If at any time you no longer wish to receive any communications or wish to have your personal information removed from our records, please do contact us to make this request. You can also update your contact preferences at any time by contacting us.

A cookie is a small text file which identifies users' computers to Horrid Historia's server. Cookies enhance a website's performance in a number of ways including providing a secure way to measure use of the website including number of visitors, how frequently pages are viewed, shopping, and the city and country of origin of users. This helps to determine what is popular and can influence the future content and development of websites.

Cookies in themselves do not identify individual users but identify only the computer used.

Horrid Historia will hold personal data on our systems for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was processed and for as long afterwards as is necessary to comply with our legal obligations. We will review personal data every year to establish whether we are still entitled to process it.

If we decide that we are not entitled to do so, we will stop processing your personal data except that we will retain your personal data in an archived form in order to be able to comply with future legal obligations e.g. compliance with tax requirements and exemptions, and the establishment exercise or defence of legal claims.

Horrid Historia will securely destroy all financial information once we have used it and no longer need it.
