What data is covered by this policy?

This policy covers information about or linked to a natural person (personal information). It includes data we obtain from you, including your name, email address, phone number, IP address, or mobile device’s unique identifier. We may also obtain indirect data about you from other sources including Google and WIX Analytics.

 

Why does Skylab Radio collect personal information?

​

Skylab Radio aims to communicate meaningful information to our listeners on air, and occasionally by post, email, text, and telephone. Our communications may include news about our progress and ways in which listeners/supporters can assist with the work that we do. We also use personal information to keep Skylab Radio running, better understand how our listeners use our service, customise their experiences (including the content, marketing materials, and advertisements they may see), prevent abuse and improve Skylab Radio. We will also process your data based on these legitimate interests.

​

Skylab Radio may collect personal information during your interaction with this website, our social media pages, and when you correspond with us by telephone (recorded), e-mail, post or text messaging (otherwise known as SMS).

 

Does Skylab Radio share personal information with others?

​

Skylab Radio will not sell, distribute, or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission, are legally permitted, or required by law to do so. If you leave a message via the ‘Contact’ page on the Skylab Radio website, this may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

  • Processing Restrictions:  You have the right to temporarily restrict our processing of your personal information if: you contest the accuracy of your personal information; you prefer we restrict its use rather than erase it; you need it to be preserved to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim; whilst you are verifying whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. You have the right to be informed before we lift the processing restriction.

  • Data Portability: You have the right to ask us to provide you (in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format without hindrance) personal information about you that we have which you had provided to us. You may ask us to transmit it directly to another controller if it is technically feasible.

  • Right to Object to Direct Marketing: You always have the right to object to receiving direct marketing from us even if we believe that we have a legitimate interest to communicate with you in this way. You can contact us to request that we stop all direct marketing messages by emailing us through the 'Contact' page.

  • How to Stop Email Marketing: Simply click on the unsubscribe link within any email. Requests are usually processed immediately but please allow ten (10) business days for the removal request to be processed.

Security

​

We are committed to ensuring personal information is secure. Our website hosting service (wix.com) has security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of personal information under our control. Unfortunately, the transmission of data across the internet is not completely secure and whilst we do our best to try to protect the security of your information, we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of data will not occur whilst data is being transferred. We also put administrative procedures in place to, for example, only allow authorised personnel to access systems containing personal information. If you have access to parts of our websites or use our services, you remain responsible for keeping any user ID and/or password details confidential.

 

Data Retention; Storage & International Data Transfers

​

  • Data Retention: We will keep personal information only for as long as we need it to maintain our relationship with you, provide you with the products, services or information you requested, to inform our research into the preferences of our listeners, to comply with the law, and to ensure we do not communicate with individuals that asked us not to. When we no longer need the information, we will dispose of it securely, using specialist companies to do this work for us if necessary. If you leave a comment on our website, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

  • Storage & International Data Transfers: Personal information is stored by us on computers located in the UK. We may also store information in paper files. We may transfer personal information to reputable third-party organisations situated inside or outside the European Economic Area. These organisations are required to safeguard personal information pursuant to their contractual obligations or participation in international data transfer mechanisms including the US-EU Privacy Shield framework.
