Information we collect
Depending on your interaction with us, we may collect your name, contact details, information you provide in enquiries, membership information and correspondence about SCOW activities. Website systems may record technical information such as IP addresses, browser details and access times. Optional website services may process information associated with your consent choices.
Please provide only the information needed for your enquiry and avoid sending sensitive information unless we have requested it and explained how it will be handled.
How and why we use your information
We respond to enquiries on the basis of our legitimate interest in communicating with people interested in SCOW. Where relevant, processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering an agreement, or to administer membership under an agreement.
If we offer optional promotional email updates, we rely on consent. You can withdraw consent through the unsubscribe option or by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect earlier lawful processing.
We rely on our legitimate interest in maintaining reliable, secure websites to investigate technical problems and prevent misuse. Where applicable, we process information to meet legal obligations. We consider your rights when relying on legitimate interests.
You do not need to provide contact details simply to browse public pages. Without relevant information, we may be unable to respond to an enquiry or arrange membership.
Cookies and external services
See our Cookie Statement for information about cookie controls. External ticketing services, video providers and other linked organisations have their own privacy arrangements. Read their notices before providing information.
Who receives your information?
Authorised SCOW representatives may access information where needed to handle enquiries or administer activities. Service providers may support hosting, technical maintenance, email and administrative services. Providers acting on our behalf must process information under appropriate contractual arrangements. Information may be disclosed where legally required or necessary for legal claims.
[Before launch, confirm the actual hosting, email, membership, mailing-list and payment providers or recipient categories.]
International transfers
[Before launch, confirm any transfers outside the European Economic Area, the destinations and safeguards, and how a copy of safeguards can be obtained. If none occur, state that here.]
Retention
We retain information only as long as necessary for its purpose and applicable legal obligations. Information needed for an ongoing complaint or legal matter may be kept until it is resolved.
[Before launch, specify retention periods or deletion criteria for enquiries, membership records, mailing-list and consent records, security logs, backups and development test data.]
Development website
dev.scowmusic.com is used for development and testing. This statement applies to personal information processed there. Genuine enquiries will be handled for the relevant purpose described above.
[Before launch, confirm whether development forms send real messages, whether live personal data is copied into development, access arrangements and deletion schedules.]
Security
[Before launch, confirm the technical and organisational safeguards actually in place, including access controls, secure connections, updates and backups.]
Your rights
Subject to applicable conditions and exceptions, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your information; object to processing based on legitimate interests; and withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis.
Contact us using the details above. We may need to verify your identity. We normally respond within one month and will explain any permitted extension.
Complaints
You can raise concerns with us and have the right to complain directly to Ireland’s Data Protection Commission.
Updates
We will update this statement when our information-handling practices change. The latest version will appear here with its updated date.
