Comments

Comments on posts and pages of our site are currently disabled as a default. Where on occasion we do switch them on for a specific page or post, we collect the data from visitor’s posts shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

We also collect this same data for messages sent via our forms. This information, like the rest of our WordPress installation’s data, is stored in our website host’s database.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Becoming a member via our website

In keeping with the General Data Protection Regulation 2018, Community Arts Penicuik (CAP) requests certain information to allow us to keep in touch with you over the coming year (and up to three further years) to communicate with you regarding your membership to inform you of events that CAP organises.

The information is not used for marketing purposes and will not be shared with any third party. By paying membership, you are accepting that your name and email address will be stored by us on our password-protected membership databases (Excel, Gmail and Mailchimp).

Using our online shop

Our shop is designed using the Stripe payment software. By default, Stripe retains:

  • What products a customer ordered and when
  • Name, email address, and phone number provided by the customer billing (and optionally: shipping) address entered by the customer
  • A note about payment method used by the customer

Your personal data will be used by Stripe to process your order, support your experience throughout the website and for other purposes described above. CAP does not have access to, store or retain sensitive financial information such as full credit/debit card details. (Please click here to read the Stripe Privacy Policy)

Our shop links to Ticketsource for events tickets, which has its own Privacy Policy (please click here to view). Your personal data will be used by Ticketsource to process your order, support your experience throughout the website and for other purposes described above.

You can request a copy of your personal data from us (we use the WordPress Personal Data Exporter) or you can request that your data is deleted. Deleting your data will mean you will need to re-enter essential details (name and contact details) if you order from us again.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have submitted a form (including comments), you can request to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

When you submit a form, the data you submit is sent to a password-protected CAP email inbox. Only authorised individuals have access to CAP email accounts. We will never sell your data under any circumstances.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

How long we retain your data

If you become a CAP member, we retain personal information you have given us relevant to your membership (e.g. name, postal address and email address) for the duration of your membership and up to three further years.

If you purchase tickets from us online, we don’t see or store your bank or credit/debit card details. We receive summary emails of your purchase with your contact details which are retained for a period of one year in our gmail account, and then permanently deleted.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
