Privacy Notice
The Brunel Museum holds contact details provided by museum users, supporters and suppliers. This is used to share museum news and information about events. If you have previously donated money to the museum we may on occasion contact you about fundraising initiatives.
 
We are also obliged to tell what legal basis we rely on to process your information.  We process this information based on the “legitimate interests” condition under data protection legislation.  We do this because you have previously given us your contact details so that we can contact you about museum events and/or fundraising.   We have a legitimate interest in keeping you updated (unless you indicate otherwise) and to raise awareness about the museum to interested parties. The law allows us to process your data if it is in our legitimate interests to do so, but we can only do this if:
 
  • it does not disproportionately affect your privacy rights;
  • it doesn’t cause you any harm; and
  • it isn’t overly intrusive.       
 
Consequently if you do not want us to hold contact information for you, please let us know using the following LINK and we will delete the information we have.
 
Contact details are held securely and will not be shared with 3rd parties.
You have several rights which allow you to choose and control how we use your data.  These rights are explained below.
 
  • Transparency: You have the right to be informed about how we are using your data.  If you think we are doing something with your information that we have not told you about in this Privacy Notice, you can object to this.
  • Access: You have the right to ask us what personal information we hold about you.
  • Rectification: If you think that the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have a right to request that it be rectified.
  • Erasure: You can ask us to delete your personal data.
  • Appeal: If you are not satisfied with the way that we have dealt with your personal data, please let us know and we will try and resolve your concerns.  If you are still not happy with our response, you have the right to appeal directly to the regulator – the Information Commissioners’ Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
