Westival Privacy Statement

YOUR DATA & YOUR TRUST IS IMPORTANT TO US

You are at the centre of everything we do. Our goal is to maintain your trust and confidence by handling your personal information with respect and putting you in full control. It’s important that you know what personal information Westival collects about you, and how we use it.

Westival is committed to protecting your privacy and the festival complies with the Data Protection principles set out in the relevant legislation. This Policy applies to all Personal Data collected, processed and stored by Westival in relation to its staff, service providers and clients in the course of its activities.

The policy covers both personal and sensitive personal data held in relation to data subjects by Westival. The policy applies equally to personal data held in manual and automated form.  All Personal and Sensitive Personal Data will be treated with equal care by Westival. Both categories will be equally referred-to as Personal Data in this policy unless specifically stated otherwise.

Information we collect.

  • Name

For data to be obtained fairly, you will, at the time the data is being collected, be made aware of:

Westival will:

  • Ensure that administrative and IT validation processes are in place to conduct regular assessments of data accuracy.
  • Conduct periodic reviews and audits to ensure that relevant data is kept accurate and up-to-date. Westival conducts a review of sample data every six months to ensure accuracy.
  • Conduct regular assessments in order to establish the need to keep certain Personal Data.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO 3rd PARTIES

In the course of its role as Data Controller, Westival engages a number of Data Processors to process Personal Data on its behalf. In each case, a formal, written contract is in place with the Processor, outlining their obligations in relation to the Personal Data, the specific purpose or purposes for which they are engaged, and the understanding that they will process the data in compliance with the Irish Data Protection legislation and EU General Data Protection Regulation. We will never trade your personal details with third parties.

SECURITY

Westival will employ high standards of security in order to protect the personal data under its care. Appropriate security measures will be taken to protect against unauthorised access to, or alteration, destruction or disclosure of any personal data held by Westival in its capacity as Data Controller. Access to and management of staff and customer records is limited to those staff members who have appropriate authorisation and password access.

ACCESSING TO YOUR INFORMATION

Any formal, written request by you for a copy of your personal data (a Subject Access Request) will be referred, as soon as possible, to the Data Protection Officer, and will be processed as soon as possible. It is intended that by complying with these guidelines, Westival will adhere to best practice regarding the applicable Data Protection legislation.

COLLECTION & SAFEGUARDING YOUR DATA
