What we collect
We collect the personal data you give us directly — for example when you join our mailing list, book a Festival place, or contact us — such as your name, email address, and (for event bookings) dietary and singing preferences.
How we use it
We use your data to administer Festival and AGM bookings, send the updates you've signed up to receive, and share relevant information with member associations where you have opted in.
How we protect it
Email addresses published on this site are protected against automated harvesting. Payment details are handled entirely by Stripe and never stored by us. Booking forms are processed via Zoho and our mailing list via EmailOctopus, both under their own privacy and security terms.
Your rights
You may ask to see, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you at any time by contacting the Secretary. You may unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time using the link in any email we send.
Cookie Policy
This site only ever uses two kinds of storage:
- Essential. Your light/dark theme choice is remembered on your own device (via
localStorage, not a tracking cookie) so the site looks right on your next visit. This can't be switched off, because without it the site can't remember anything you've told it. - Optional — third-party embeds. The X/Twitter and Facebook tabs on our Connect page load content directly from those platforms, which set their own cookies under their own privacy policies. We only load these if you choose “Accept all” on the cookie banner, or click through to load them individually on that page.
We do not use any advertising or analytics cookies of our own. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of any page.
