We will use the personal information you supply to respond to your enquiries, to manage the work we do for you, and to tell you about other services that may be of interest to you, including:

Who has access to your information?

Generally, we will use your information within Uchenna Dance and will only share it outside where you have requested it or given us your express consent. Exceptions to this are Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf. We may pass your information to our third party service providers, agents subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf. However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond Uchenna Dance for them to use for their own direct marketing purposes, unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.

If we are unable to supply your information within that time, we will let you know. We may withhold personal information that you request to the extent permitted by law.

You can also request that all information we hold on you is deleted, subject to where we need to keep it for legal reasons (e.g. accounting purposes or for legal disputes).

If there are inaccuracies with the personal information we hold about you, please let us know and we will correct your records.

You may instruct us at any time not to continue holding your personal information for marketing purposes. We also provide an opt-out facility on the bottom of our email marketing.

We are concerned to protect the privacy of children aged 18 or under. If you are aged 18 or under‚ please get your parent/guardian’s permission beforehand whenever you provide us with personal information.

Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

If you make a donation online or purchase a product from us, your card information is not held by us, it is collected by third-party payment processors, who specialise in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions.

When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear on the bottom of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or on the search bar at the top of your browser.

Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

This privacy policy applies only to our website‚ so we encourage you to read the privacy statements on the other websites you visit. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other sites even if you access them using links from our website.

In addition, if you linked to our website from a third party site, we cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the owners and operators of that third party site and recommend that you check the policy of that third party site.
