What personal data do we collect about you?

We only collect your name (first name, surname) and email address. In some circumstances we may also collect your telephone number.


Where do we collect personal data about you?

It is most likely is that we have collected the personal data directly from you.

This may have been when you have visited an event held, or supported by, the National Jazz Archive and you completed a form requesting to be sent our newsletter. Alternatively, you may have been contacted by one of our Trustees or a National Jazz Archive volunteer at such an event and you provided the personal data, again to receive our newsletter.

You may have visited our website (www.nationaljazzarchive.org.uk) and provided details so as to subscribe to our newsletter, although you are free to explore the website without providing any personal data about yourself. When you subscribe to our newsletter, make a donation, become a friend of the Archive, or volunteer, we request that you provide personal data about yourself.

If you have made an enquiry via email or telephone we will retain your name and contact details in order to respond, and we will continue to hold such personal details to match with any future enquiries.
