Who I am
Allegra Galvin is a registered sole trader whose purpose is to support creatives, cultural organisations and councils to plan for the future. You can visit my home page to find out more about what I do.
Why I Collect Your Data
I collect data to make projects as inclusive, accessible, and effective as possible. This includes using your data to:
Communicate with you about your participation and any updates related to the projects.
Ensure the projects are as representative and inclusive as possible.
Process any incentives or reimbursements offered for participation.
Improve projects and tailor them to community needs.
What Data I Collect
The information I collect might include your name, address, email address, phone number, demographic information (such as age, gender, ethnicity etc.), accessibility requirements, and any other information relevant to your participation in projects.
How Your Data Is Used
I may use your data to:
Contact you about project developments and meetings.
Ensure the projects are tailored to meet the participants' diverse needs.
Analyse the effectiveness of projects and report on their outcomes to stakeholders, ensuring any personal data is anonymised.
Who Has Access to Your Information
I will not sell or rent your information to third parties. I will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. I may pass your information to our third-party service providers, subcontractors, and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example, to send you mailings). However, when I use third-party service providers, I disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service, and I have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes.

You have a choice about whether or not you wish to receive information from me. If you do not want to receive direct communications from me about the work we do for our community and our exciting projects, you can select your choices by ticking the relevant boxes situated on the form on which I collect your information.

Security Precautions in Place to Protect the Loss, Misuse, or Alteration of Your Information
When you give me personal information, I take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. I strive to protect your personal information, but cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to me, and you do so at your own risk.
