6 principles of the GDPR

#1: Data shall be processed “lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner.”

• We have to be upfront about what we are collecting the data for.

#2: Data shall be “collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes.”

• We can’t collect data without explaining how we are using it, and those purposes have to be legitimate.

#3: Data processing shall be “limited to what is necessary” for the purpose.

• We may only collect the minimum amount of data for the purpose we are collecting it for. Once we have collected the necessary data, we can only use it for its intended purpose.

#4: Data shall be accurate, kept up to date, and corrected.

• Doesn’t really apply to us. This is more for the Google and Facebooks of the world.

• We should not keep data about people forever if there is no reason to keep it.

#6: Data shall be “processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security.”

Why Do We Collect Your Information

As a client we want to be able to keep in touch with you which is why we collect your phone number and email address.

We may also send very limited email offers, reminders, and keep in touch so we can retain your custom.

We have to keep records for tax purposes for a number of years after your booking. Your data will not be kept beyond this obligation

All of our booking information is held in the DJ Event Planner database which is fully GDPR compilant. Some information will be held in our email account and our email clients are also GDPR compliant.

Your data is secure and accessible by only myself. We do not keep any hard copies of your data beyond each booking being completed.
