A special note about the Sensitive Information we hold

If you are a member of our regular participation programmes in Liverpool (such as Youth Theatre and Young Actors Company) you may choose to provide details of a sensitive nature.

We only use it for the purposes of supporting your participation in our groups, dealing with your enquiry, training, and quality monitoring or evaluating the services we provide. We will not pass on your details to anyone else without your express permission except in exceptional circumstances. Examples of this might include anyone reporting serious self-harm or posing a threat to others, children contacting us and sharing serious issues.

If you provide us with any Sensitive Personal Data in person, by telephone, email or by other means, we will treat that information with extra care and always in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Your personal information and details of the information received are stored on a secure database for no longer than is necessary for the purposes of its use. We carry out periodic deletion of data whose retention period has expired and/or when the need to continue holding such data is no longer necessary.
