Privacy Policy
When you request information from OPUS, sign up to any of our services like Call Outs for Volunteers or Performers
we obtain information about you. This statement explains how we look after that information and what we do with
it.
What information we hold
This can include any of the following, but is restricted to what you share with us:
Your name, address, phone number, email address. In some instances it may also include Next of Kin and Health
Information - to keep you safe.
OPUS have a legal duty under the Data Protection Act to prevent your information falling into the wrong hands. We
try to ensure that the information we hold is accurate, up to date, adequate and relevant. Please let us know of any
changes or discrepancies so we can update your information.
Normally, the only information we hold comes directly from you. Whenever we collect information from you, we will
make it clear which information is required in order to provide you with the information, service or goods you need.
You do not have to provide us with any additional information unless you choose to.
How we store your information
We store your information securely on our computer system, we restrict access to those who have a need to know.
The information you provide will be kept confidential and will be used to support your relationship with OPUS and to
ensure your safety at our events. It will not be shared with any third party without your consent, unless required by
law.
How we use your information
We will use your data to tell you about activities and plans by email – either because you have signed up to receive
this information, or because we think you will be interested in hearing about what we do in your professional
capacity. This may include performance opportunities, volunteer or employment opportunities, training and classes.
You have the right to ask us not to contact you in this way. We will always provide a clear method for you to opt out.
You can also contact us directly at any time to tell us not to send you any future marketing material.
From time to time we may use the information we hold about you for analysis and research purposes (this might
include, for instance, postcode mapping.) This assists with strategic planning, helping us to make better business
decisions and supporting our future growth as a company.
How long we keep your information
We will retain your data for a period of 5 years unless you tell us that you wish to be removed from our system
before this. We will then contact you offering you the opportunity to unsubscribe if you are no longer interested. We
have chosen a period of 5 years because it can often be long periods of time before large scale shows and events
return to an area. If you are applying for a job with us, we will keep your information for a reasonable period relating
to the recruitment process, after which your information will be removed from our system.
