Privacy policy

1. Introduction

New River Retail (Cardiff) Ltd is dependent on the involvement of its volunteers, supporters and stakeholders. Developing a better understanding of those we engage with through their personal data (name, address, email, etc) allows us to operate and communicate more effectively. We are committed to protecting any personal information we have about you.

This Privacy Statement sets out how we obtain, use and protect your personal information.

We are legally obliged to use your information in line with all laws concerning the protection of personal information, including the Data Protection Act 1998 , the Privacy & Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 and the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) in effect from 25 May 2018.

New River Retail (Cardiff) Ltd communications contain links to websites owned and operated by third parties. These third parties have their own privacy policies – we cannot accept any responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of such third-party websites.

2. Who we are

New River Retail (Cardiff) Ltd is a Limited Company (number 09858626).

3. What information does New River Retail (Cardiff) Ltd collect about me?

When you contact New River Retail (Cardiff) Ltd to be kept-up-to date, sign up to information at events, or engage with online content such as signing up to mailing lists, or you telephone, email or write to New River Retail (Cardiff) Ltd, or engage with New River Retail (Cardiff) Ltd via social media channels, we may receive and retain personal information about you. This can consist of information such as your name, organisation, email address, language preferences and postal address. This allows us to contact you with information about events, activities and projects that you tell us you are interested in.

We store some additional information about some of our audiences including details of specific enquiries (for example, for venue customers) and interests, skills and background (for volunteer and staff applicants).

Data Protection law recognises that certain categories of personal information are more sensitive. This is known as ‘sensitive personal data’ and covers health information, race, religious beliefs and political opinions. We collect information about religious beliefs and race for job applicants, trustees, volunteers and some project participants. This is collated and stored in a way that would make personal identification of individuals impossible. We collate this data to measure our performance against our Equality and Human Rights Policy. We collect the minimum health information required to carry out our duty of care to individuals, including volunteers and staff members.

New River Retail (Cardiff) Ltd may also use publicly available information to identify people who may be interested in partnering with New River Retail (Cardiff) Ltd. This information may include newspaper or other media coverage, open postings on social media sites such as Twitter and LinkedIn, and data from Companies’ House and the Charity Commission.

4. How will New River Retail (Cardiff) Ltd use the information collected about me?

New River Retail (Cardiff) Ltd may use your personal information for a number of purposes including the following:

  • in relation to correspondence you have with us (whether by letter, email, text, social media, message board or any other means)
  • for internal record keeping
  • to invite you to participate in surveys or research about New River Retail (Cardiff) Ltd or our work (participation is always voluntary)
  • to provide you with information about our activities, events and news

Who will your personal data be shared with outside of the New River Retail (Cardiff)?

Personal data will also be shared with Blue Stag, a marketing company who will be supporting the establishment of the Capitol website and may send marketing communications on behalf of New River Retail (Cardiff).

We always sign a data sharing agreement before sharing data with any partners, which you can view on our website.

We may need to share your information with “data processors” such as service providers, associated organisations or agents who may help us to prepare and send communications to you relating to our activities. These “data processors” will only act under our instruction and we will not allow these organisations to use your data for their own purposes and will take care to ensure that they keep your data secure.

We will also comply with legal requests where disclosure is required or permitted by law (for example to law enforcement agencies for the prevention and detection of crime, subject to such bodies providing us with a relevant request in writing).

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, for example, we will keep a record of any payments for a period of 7 years. For non-financial transactions, we will keep your data for up to 5 years if we are no longer in contact with you.

If you request that we stop communicating with you, we may keep a record of your contact details and appropriate information to enable us to comply with your request not to be contacted by us.

Where you contribute material to us, e.g. user-generated content, we will generally only keep your content for as long as is reasonably required for the purpose(s) for which it was submitted, unless otherwise stated at the point of generation.
