CCTV

Under the UK-GDPR identifiable imagery is considered as personal data, whether images are captured for security, monitoring or health and safety purposes.

The use of CCTV within the museum will be communicated via signage which indicates the areas covered.

Footage will not be retained for an indefinite period. Screens showing live footage will only be viewed by authorized personnel.


Financial data

Tenby Museum and Art Gallery endeavours to protect your privacy. Credit card payments provide details of payment card numbers and expiry dates but these go through a secure server operated by the museum’s Payment Service provider and to which Tenby Museum does not have direct access. Where direct access is provided (for example with over the telephone sales), personal information required for the transaction is shredded at the end of each day.

Gift Aid

Gift Aid returns are retained for a period of six years for audit purposes and in compliance with HMRC regulations. To comply with HMRC’s legal obligations, the trustees of Tenby Museum and Art Gallery can refuse to delete donor records that relate to Gift Aid. We will ensure however that any personal details are retained in the strictest of confidence and will not be shared to any third party beyond HMRC. The donor giving gift aid details relates to consent under the guidelines of UK-GDPR.


Job and volunteering applicants

If you apply to work or volunteer at Tenby Museum and Art Gallery including Trusteeship) we will use the information you have provided to process your application. Where we need to disclose information to a third party, for example where we need to take up a reference or obtain ‘disclosure’ from DSB, we will not do so without informing you beforehand unless the disclosure is required or otherwise permitted by law.

Personal information about unsuccessful candidates will be held for a period of six weeks after the recruitment exercise. These will be securely housed and unavailable to unauthorized personnel. These records are retained as reference in case a voluntary position comes up. If you wish us to destroy it before hand or allow us to retain it for longer via written permission, then please inform us.

Once you have taken up employment or a volunteer position at the museum, we will compile a file relating to your employment. This information will be kept secure and used for purposes relevant only to your position. Once your position with the Museum has ended we will retain the file for a period of six weeks.

No information provided will be shared with any third party and will be retained in the strictest confidence in a locked safe at the museum.

 

Newsletters and Events

The museum on average produces up to four newsletters each year. Under legitimate interest, anyone who has opted in to receive such mailings will be kept informed. However there is the opportunity to opt out at any stage. Any opt out information will be updated immediately.

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) information may be sent directly that is relevant to the original communication without opt in consent. For example, if someone buys and event ticket and provides an email address for the processing, then we can send further information about other similar events. However the email details will not be added to a general database and the opportunity to opt out will always be available in each email.

Consent will be given via the museum’s consent form, along with details of this privacy notice. Under UK-GDPR consent for all forms of data processing and communication will be on an opt in basis to ensure consent is given freely and is specific, informed and unambiguous.
