We use your information in accordance with all applicable laws concerning the protection of personal information. This policy explains:

  • How we may use that information. 

  • In what situations we may disclose your details to third parties. 

  • Our use of cookies to improve your use of our website.

Who we are 

Khameleon Productions is a production company that seeks to celebrate the creative power of diverse voices. We are funded by a global network of universities, foundations and individual donors and supporters. Our registered company number is 13396801.

Information collection

We collect various types of information and in a number of ways: 

  • Information you give us 

For example, when you register for our mailing list, fill in our contact form or make a donation, we’ll store personal information you give us such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone number and card details. We will also store a record of your purchases and donations.

  • Information about your interactions with us 

For example, when you visit our website, we collect information about how you interact with our content and ads. When we send you a mailing we store a record of this, and in the case of emails we keep a record of which ones you have opened and which links you have clicked on. 

  • Information from third parties 

We occasionally receive information about you from third parties. For example, we may use third party research companies to provide general information about you, compiled using publicly available data. 

  • Sensitive personal data 

Data Protection law recognises that certain categories of personal information are more sensitive such as health information, race, religious beliefs and political opinions. We do not usually collect this type of information about our patrons unless there is a clear reason for doing so.

We may also collect personal information through photography or film commissioned by Khameleon Productions, with your consent. 

Legal basis 

There are three bases under which we may process your data: 

  • Contract purposes 

When you make a donation to us, you are entering into a contract with us. In order to perform this contract, we need to process and store your data. For example, we may need to contact you in the case of problems with your payment. 

  • Legitimate business interests 

In certain situations we collect and process your personal data for purposes that are in our legitimate organisational interests. However, we only do this if there is no overriding prejudice to you by using your personal information in this way. We describe below all situations where we may use this basis for processing. 

  • With your explicit consent 

For any situations where the two bases above are not appropriate, we will instead ask for your explicit consent before using your personal information in that specific situation. 

Marketing communications 

We aim to communicate with you about the work that we do in ways that you find relevant, timely and respectful. 

We use our legitimate organisational interest as the legal basis for communications by post and email. In the case of postal mailings, you may object to receiving these at any time using the contact details at the end of this policy. In the case of email, we will provide you with an option to unsubscribe in every email that we subsequently send you, or you can alternatively use the contact details at the end of this policy. 

We may also contact you about our work by telephone, however we will always get explicit consent from you before doing this. Please bear in mind that this does not apply to telephone calls that we may need to make to you related to your donations (as above). 

Other processing activities 

In addition to marketing communications, we also process personal information in the following ways that are within our legitimate organisational interests: 

  • We may analyse data we hold about you to ensure that the content and timing of communications that we send you are as relevant to you as possible. 

  • We may analyse data we hold about you in order to identify and prevent fraud. 

  • In order to improve our website we may analyse information about how you use it and the content and ads that you interact with. 

  • We may use profiling techniques or third party wealth screening and insight companies to provide us with information about you that will help us to communicate in a relevant way with you, in particular when we are approaching you about potential philanthropic support. Such information is compiled using publicly available data about you. 

In all of the above cases we will always keep your rights and interests at the forefront to ensure they are not overridden by your own interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. You have the right to object to any of this processing at any time. If you wish to do this, please use the contact details at the end of this policy. Please bear in mind that if you object this may affect our ability to carry out tasks above that are for your benefit. 

We may share anonymised data to funders, to demonstrate the impact and reach of our work. 

Google Analytics is used on our website to collect traffic, location and communication data. We will make no attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. 

Third parties 

There are certain circumstances under which we may disclose your personal information to third parties. These are as follows: 

  • To the subsidiaries described above when it is necessary for them to be able to provide you with products or services that you’ve requested. 

  • To our own service providers who process data on our behalf and on our instructions. In these cases we require that these third parties comply strictly with our instructions and with data protection laws, for example around security of personal data. 

  • Where we are under a duty to disclose your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies). 

Cookies 

Cookies are small text files that are automatically placed onto your device by some websites that you visit. They are widely used to allow a website to function (for example to keep track of your basket) as well to provide website operators with information on how the site is being used. 

We use cookies to keep track of your basket as well as to identify how the website is being used and what improvements we can make.

Your debit and credit card information 

If you use your credit or debit card to purchase from us or to make a donation, we will ensure that this is carried out securely and in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). None of our staff members are able to see your full card number. We never store your 3 or 4 digit security code. 

Maintaining your personal information 

We store your personal information indefinitely such that for any subsequent donations you make we are able to link them back to a single unique record that we hold for you on our system. 

If there are aspects of your record that are inaccurate or that you would like to remove, please use the contact details at the end of this policy. 

Any objections you make to any processing of your data will be stored against your record on our system so that we can comply with your requests. 

Security of your personal information 

We will put in place appropriate safeguards (both in terms of our procedures and the technology we use) to keep your personal information as secure as possible. We will ensure that any third parties we use for processing your personal information do the same. 

We will not transfer, process or store your data anywhere that is outside of the European Economic Area. 

Your rights to your personal information 

You have a right to request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you and to have any inaccuracies in this data corrected. Please use the contact details at the end of this policy if you would like to exercise this right. 

This privacy policy was drafted with brevity in mind. It does not provide exhaustive detail of all aspects of collection and use of personal information. If you have any specific questions, please contact us through the below information. 

Contact details and further information 

Please get in touch with us if you have any questions about any aspect of this privacy policy, and in particular if you would like to object to any processing of your personal information that we carry out for our legitimate organisational interests.
