Privacy Policy
Split Second is committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of visitors to our website, participants in our projects, partners, customers, suppliers and employees. In particular, we want you to know that Split Second is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes. This Privacy Policy provides information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure.
Personal Information
Personal information means any information that may be used to identify you, such as, your name, title, phone number, email address, or mailing address. In general, you can browse our website without giving us any personal information.
Mailing lists
As part of the registration process for our e-newsletter, we collect personal information. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about stuff you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information.
We use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice. You can unsubscribe to mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our e-newsletters or by emailing us at connect@splitsecond.org.uk.
Children and Privacy
If you’re aged 13 or under, you need to get permission to register for our newsletter on our site from your parents or guardian.

Links to Other Web Sites
Our web site contains links to information on other web sites. On web sites we do not control, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information that you provide while visiting those sites. Those sites are not governed by this Privacy Policy, and if you have questions about how a site uses your information, you’ll need to check that site’s privacy statement.
Use of Personal Data for Legitimate Business Activities
Split Second needs to keep certain information about its artists, project teams, partners, participants and other stakeholders to allow us to advocate on behalf of artists, run projects efficiently, monitor activities and for health and safety purposes. Information is collected and used fairly, stored safely and not disclosed to any other person unlawfully.
When dealing with personal records of project partners and participants, we will make sure that personal information is:
obtained and processed fairly and lawfully
obtained for a specified and lawful purpose – for example employment, marketing or delivering one of our projects – and shall not be used in any manner incompatible with that purpose
adequate, relevant and not excessive for that purpose
accurate and kept up to date
not kept for longer than is necessary
kept safe from unauthorised access, accidental loss or destruction
Third Parties
Split Second may share project personal data amongst all partners involved in the delivery and promotion of a project. Data is shared electronically using Dropbox or Sharepoint folders with permission given for use for the project activities to the project managers of key partners.
Collection of personal data for Business Activities
In most cases, the personal data held by Split Second is obtained directly from the data subjects themselves, whether in the form of a paper document (such as a job application or contract) or electronically / online. Occasionally, we may also ask for information about particular health needs, such as allergies to particular forms of medication, or any condition such as asthma or diabetes. We will only use this information for the protection of the health and safety of the individual but will need consent to process this data (including for example passing it on to emergency services) in the event of an incident.
Data Security and Storage
We store personal data under strict safekeeping and confidentiality measures on secure servers operated by Split Second and only accessible to authorised Split Second staff. The Split Second offices are not accessible to the general public and are locked when unoccupied.
While we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of data will not occur when it is under our control, we use our best efforts to try to prevent this. Unfortunately, the transmission of data across the internet is not completely secure and while we do our best to try to protect the security of your information we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of data will not occur while data is being transferred.
Access to Your Personal Information
You are entitled to access the personal information that we hold on you. Email your request to connect@splitsecond.org.uk.

You can unsubscribe to mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our e-newsletters or by emailing connect@splitsecond.org.uk. You can use this address to request that your personal information is updated.

By using our website and/or providing us with personal information for business activities you consent to the collection and use of the information you provide to us as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about our collection, use or disclosure of your personal information, please drop us a line at connect@splitsecond.org.uk.
