We are committed to responsible data management and subscribe to the principals of the data protection legislation in the United Kingdom. We are committed to maintaining the privacy of our users and maintaining the security of any personal information received from you. If you register for any of the Services you will be asked to provide basic personal information. The information provided by you is not available for sale or use by third parties other than through the website pages.

Information we collect and why

When you register with the Harvey jack Design we ask for information such as your name, email address, contact details, geographical area, and information about your business so that we can best identify what services and / or information is appropriate for you and your business.

We keep a record of your details in order to fulfil our role as a provider of information, support and guidance for creative businesses in the North west. This is necessary in order for us to be able to contact you with current and future information about opportunities that may be of interest to you. This information is recorded whether you register with us online, in person or by phone.

How we use your personal data

All the information we hold about you is used for three main reasons:

• to contact you with information from ourselves and our partners that we think may be of relevance and/or interest to you.

• to analyse, identify and report on the size and nature of the design, visual art and craft sectors in the region, data that helps us make the case for greater industry support from funders and government bodies.

• where the support or advice provided to you has been as a direct result of a European, national, regional or local government funding scheme which requires us to keep records on businesses and individuals that have received this support.

We are committed to using your personal information for these reasons only.

The only circumstances where we may share some of your data with third parties is where, in our judgement, these third parties have a product, service, event or scheme that will be advantageous to you as an individual or business.

The following clause only relates to creatives who have registered or wish to register with the Find A Creative facility through the Website:
