For the purpose of the Data Protection Act 1998 (the Act), the data controller is Much Hadham Recreation Trust, Westfield House, New Barns Lane, Much Hadham, Hertfordshire SG10 6HH.
This means that we are responsible for how your data is collected and used. We respect your privacy and will protect any of your personal data that we process. All personal data are processed in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
THE TYPES OF DATA WE COLLECT
We collect certain personal data about you. “Personal data” are data that can be used to identify you.
We collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us, for example when you communicate with us via email or other channels, when you sign up for a newsletter, apply for a stall at the fête, apply for a grant from us or volunteer to help with the organisation and running of the fete.
The data we collect includes your name, postal address, contact phone number(s), e-mail address, financial information and job title, as required depending on our interaction.
For example, for volunteers we will only need name and contact details (including contact phone numbers and email address), but for stallholder applications we will require bank account information as well, to trace your booking and process your booking fee, and your insurance details. For clubs and societies and other organisations applying for grants, we will also need certain financial information about the organisation in order to consider the application properly.
HOW WE USE THE DATA WE COLLECT AND STORE
We use the personal data we collect for communication purposes, including:
- to send you updates and details relating to the Recreation Trust and the fete as part of our service to you;
- to communicate with you as part of our contract (in the case of stallholders, suppliers and intermediaries);
- to maintain our list of contacts;
- to ask you for your assistance and support, including financial support, for the organisation and running of the annual fete; and
- to provide you with details of events and services in Much Hadham and the nearby area which are offered by us as well as others.
We do not sell, hire out, distribute or otherwise make your personal data available to any third party. However, we may share information with our suppliers for the purposes listed below.
OUR BASIS FOR USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA
When processing personal data for the purposes explained in this notice, we do so for the purposes of delivering our services to you. In addition, where we may provide you with details of other products and services which we believe may be of interest to you, we rely on our legitimate interests in maintaining business relationships and/or communicating with you as an existing volunteer or business partner for similar services, about the fête and other local parish events. We consider that our legitimate interests abide by the law and the legal rights and freedoms of our business and volunteer contacts.
HOW WE MAY SHARE THE DATA WE COLLECT; INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

HOW LONG WE WILL KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Your personal data will be saved for the specified purposes mentioned above for as long as you are a business or volunteer contact to us, unless you have specified that you do not want your personal data retained after your involvement with the relevant fête.
