What information we collect
Personal data: this is the information that identifies you as an individual, such as your name and contact information. We collect some personal data in order to operate our festival and facilitate our services. You provide some of this information yourself, and we receive some of this information from third parties, such as if you choose to engage with us on social media.
While using our website, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. Contact information may include, but is not limited to:
email address
first name and last name
You may choose not to provide such personal data. However, you may be unable to use a certain service or be unable to access certain functionalities of our website. For example, we need your contact information in order to respond to you when you communicate with us.
Diversity Monitoring Data: it is crucial to us that our festival promotes content from as diverse a background as possible, and that our work appeals to the widest possible audience.
When we carry out diversity and equality surveys (including age, race and ethnicity, and geographic location) this is in relation to:
those that register for and/or attend our festival
those that have content exhibited at our festivals
those who are part of our team
If you exhibit your work through us, we may ask for information to access representation. This may include information as to racial origins, any disability and sexual orientation. You are not obligated to provide such information and can chose not to provide a response to any individual question.
This information is only used by us for the purposes of ensuring the diversity of our content and festival attendance. We will not provide this information to any other parties, which will only be available to those who are responsible for managing our content.
We also collect diversity and equality information from those registering and attending the festivals. However, the responses do not identify any named respondent and so therefore are not considered personal data.

This information is used to operate, maintain and manage our website. For example, we may calculate the average number of site visitors who visit a particular webpage on our website.
