Why we hold your data and legal basis
The law requires us to tell you the legal basis on which we process your data. Some activities (for example using your images) require your consent. If the law requires your consent to
process data in a certain way then we will obtain it before carrying out that activity. You will be asked to complete a media consent form on accepting a place at a Centre. 
Other activities are carried out to fulfil an agreement. If the carer agreement has been signed we will process your data based on that agreement.

In some circumstances the law requires us to disclose information to another party. An example is to reclaim tax on Gift Aid. If you Gift Aid a donation, then we are required to tell HMRC the name and postcode of the donor and the date(s) and amount(s) of any such donation, otherwise we are unable to claim Gift Aid.

The processing of your personal information for the above purposes is necessary:
 To interact before enrolment as part of the enquiries and admissions process
 To meet our contractual obligations (e.g. to manage your student experience and welfare while studying
at a Centre)
 To comply with a legal obligation (e.g. equal opportunities monitoring)
 To perform tasks we carry out in the public interest (e.g. teaching)
 For legitimate interests (e.g. to enable your access to other CYM services)
 To protect the vital interests of you or another person

We may share information about upcoming events, courses, performances and other activities, our news, and other ways you can get involved with the Centre, unless you choose to unsubscribe which you can do at any
time by emailing musichub@peterborough.gov.uk.

those departments.
For example this may include:
