As with most arts organisations, Tala Lee-Turton Productions needs to raise funds beyond our commercial revenue streams to survive. This can be through donations from individuals, companies or trusts and foundations. We do this by adhering to the same practice of privacy applied across all of our commercial activities.

In order for us to ensure our contact with individuals, companies and trusts and foundations in line with our interests as an organisation, we conduct surface level research and analysis. We do this by using customer data submitted by individuals to our organisation, such as donations or gifts, in addition to data gathered from public sources such as Companies House, Charities Commission, Instagram and LinkedIn.

For example, if an individual has donated to Tala Lee-Turton Productions recently, we may consider contacting them regarding forthcoming campaigns we believe they may be interested in, according to their demonstrated interests. This would also be the case if you have indicated an interest for fundraising in your email preferences.

By using legitimate, public resources, we can build an accurate profile of current and prospective donors, giving them greater opportunities to access our work but also streamline our communications.

In addition, we use personal data when necessary to inform an individual as to the status of a donation or gift.

When collecting data, we track our actions and record them, ensuring that what we collect is open to scrutiny, both internally and externally. As such, if you wish to request further information on the data collected in relation to yourself or your organisation, or if you are not happy to be profiled in any way and wish to opt out from our database, please e mail us at info@talaleeturton.com

You can ask us whether we are keeping personal data about you and request a readable copy of any personal data which we keep about you, by sending an email to info@talaleeturton.com

Although we may require you to provide proof of your identity in advance, we will aim to respond to your request within 28 days and will do so free of charge. We reserve the right to charge an administrative fee when a request is unfounded or excessive.

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing and/or fundraising purposes or to update your preferences on how we can process your data at any time. You can do this using the contact details below.
