• any other information provided by yourself at the request of the Stuart Hall Foundation;

When we ask you to provide your personal information we will let you know why we are asking, and how we will use your data, by directing you towards this notice.

Depending on your relationship with the Stuart Hall Foundation, and the preferences you have indicated, data we hold may be used by us for the following purposes:

• Send you promotional, marketing or fundraising information by post, telephone or electronic means. These types of communications can include:
Informing you of other activities, services or events related to the Stuart Hall Foundation, such as film screenings, exhibitions, talks, research projects etc.

• Data screening and cleansing, to check if we have accurate contact details for you - see How we update, screen and analyse your information for further information.
• Wealth screening and research, to help us understand our supporters, donors and potential donors, including gathering information from publicly available resources to give an insight into your philanthropic interests and ability to support the Stuart Hall Foundation. See How we update, screen and analyse your information for further information.
• To send you surveys, and for market research purposes.
• Tools may be used to monitor the effectiveness of our communications with you, including email tracking, which records when an e-newsletter from us is opened and/or how many links are clicked within the message. The data from this tracking is generally used in an aggregated and anonymised form.

We continuously review records of supporters to ensure your data is as accurate as possible. We may consult alternative sources in order undertake these checks, such as:

• Reviewing employment information that you have made publicly available via social media;
• Newspaper articles, publications and company websites;
• Companies House and other company information databases;
• Charity Commission and Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) registers;
• Any other publicly available sources.

Where we appoint an external party to undertake a screening of information, any such arrangements will be subject to a formal agreement between the Stuart Hall Foundation and that organisation, to protect the security of your data.

We may segment the information we hold about you in our database based on a proprietary score. These scores are calculated using personal data, as well as how engaged with us you have previously been, and indicators of future engagement. Analysis of this helps us understand our supporters, donors and potential donors to ensure we are efficient and that only relevant communications are sent to you.

You can opt-out of your data being utilised for wealth screening, data cleaning or analysis (with the aims of targeting communications with you appropriately, or finding up to date contact information in the case of gone away mail) simply by contacting info@stuarthallfoundation.org. 

We do not disclose personal data to any third parties or external organisations, other than data processors carrying out work on our behalf.

Examples of such data processors would be bulk email distribution services, fundraising agencies working on our behalf, partner organisations collaborating with us on our public programme, or wealth screening and data cleaning organisations.

Any such companies are acting as approved data processors for the Stuart Hall Foundation, and we retain full responsibility for your personal data. Data processors will act only on our instructions.

We may occasionally need to transfer your personal information overseas, for instance to our bulk email distributor, MailChimp. Where this is necessary, this may be to countries or territories around the world.

We are required to ensure any transfers of data will be done securely, in accordance with best practice, and in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Your data will never be sold or passed to any third party for any other purpose.

We have implemented security procedures, rules and technical measures to protect the personal data that we have under our control from:

• unauthorised access;
• improper use or disclosure;
• unauthorised modification.

All our employees and data processors, who have access to, and are associated with the processing of personal data, are legally obliged to respect the confidentiality of our visitors’ and supporters’ personal data.

You can ask us if we are keeping any personal data about you and you can also request to receive a copy of that personal data – this is called a Subject Access Request.

To make a Subject Access Request you will need to provide adequate proof of identity such as a copy of your passport, birth certificate or driving licence before your request can be processed. There may also be a fee of up to £10 depending on the volume of work required.

Please try to be as clear as possible about the information you are seeking.

Once we have received your Subject Access Request, the agreed fee and proof of identity, you will receive a response from us within 40 days and you will be able to get copies of any information we hold on you. However, exemptions to disclosure may apply in some circumstances.

Subject Access Requests should be sent to:
