What is this privacy notice/policy?

This Data Privacy Notice/Policy describes the categories of personal data Floral Fringe Fair process and for what purposes. Floral Fringe Fair is committed to collecting and using such data fairly and in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), the regulations set by the European Union, and Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018), the UK law that encompasses the GDPR.

This Privacy Notice/Policy applies to members, parents/guardians of youth visitors, volunteers, employees, contractors, suppliers, supporters, donors and members of the public who will make contact with Floral Fringe Fair.

Who we are?

The Data Controller for Floral Fringe Fair is Jean Jackman

From this point on Floral Fringe Fair will be referred to as “we”.

The data we may process

The majority of the personal information we hold, is provided to us directly by you or by the parents or legal guardians of youth visitors verbally or in paper form, digital form or via our online ticket system, Future Ticketing. In the case of staff and volunteers, data may also be provided by third parties, such as the England & Wales - Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

Where a visitor, trader, volunteer or staff member is under the age of 18, this information will only be obtained from a parent or guardian and cannot be provided by the young person.

We may collect the following personal information:

Personal contact details such as name, title, address, telephone numbers and personal email address - so that we can contact you.

Gender – so that we can address individuals correctly and accommodate for any specific needs.

Emergency contact information - so that we are able to contact someone in the event of an emergency.

Bank account details, payroll information and tax status information - so that we are able to pay any staff that might be employed by us and collect gift aid from HMRC where donations are made.

The lawful basis we process your data by

We comply with our obligations under the GDPR and DPA 2018 by keeping personal data up to date; by storing and destroying it securely; by not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data; by protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure and by ensuring that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data.

In most cases the lawful basis for processing will be through the performance of a contract for personal data of our visitors and legitimate interest for personal data of youth visitors. Sensitive (special category) data for both adult volunteers/staff and all visitors/contractors will mostly align to the lawful basis of legitimate activities of an association. Explicit consent is requested from parents/guardians to take photographs of younger visitors. On occasion, we may use legitimate interest to process photographs where it is not practical to gather and maintain consent such as large-scale events. On such occasions, we will make it clear that this activity will take place and give individuals the opportunity to exercise their data subject rights.

We use personal data for the following purposes:


  • to provide information about the Floral Fringe Fair

  • to administer online ticketing sales

  • to maintain our own accounts and records

  • to inform you of news, events, activities and services being run or attended by Floral Fringe Fair


We use personal sensitive (special) data for the following purposes:

  • for the protection of a person’s health and safety whilst in the care of Floral Fringe Fair


Our retention periods

We will keep certain types of information for different periods of time in line with our retention policy. https://www.floralfringefair.co.uk/Data_Retention_Policy.html

Sharing your information

We will share your personal information with others outside of Floral Fringe Fair where we need meet a legal obligation. This may include local authority services and law enforcement. We will only share your personal information to the extent needed for those purposes.

We will only share your data with third parties outside of the organisation where there is a legitimate reason to do so.

We will never sell your personal information to any third party.

Where personal data is shared with third parties we will seek assurances that your personal data will be kept confidential and that the third party fully complies with the GDPR and DPA 2018.

How we store your personal data

We generally store personal information in the following ways:

  • SumUp

  • Future Ticketing

  • Mail Chimp

  • Gmail

  • Physical Folders in a locked cabinet


Printed records and data held while attending events - paper is sometimes used to capture and retain some data for example:

Event Registration

Health and contact records forms (for events)

Events coordination with event organisers

Paper records for events are used rather than relying on secure digital systems, as often the events are held where internet and digital access will not be available. We will minimise the use of paper to only what is required for the event.

Further processing

If we wish to use your personal data for a new purpose, not covered by this Data Protection Notice, then we will provide you with a new notice explaining this new use prior to commencing the processing and setting out the relevant purposes and processing conditions. Where and whenever necessary, we will seek your prior consent to the new processing.
