Who we are

Culture Shift is an independent, not-for-profit, arts organisation. We provide services in the form of workshops, events, exhibitions, training and creative learning projects.

Culture Shift is registered in Denmark, CVR Number 38242962.

How do we use the information collected?

We use information collected in order to:

  • Respond to your enquiry

  • Provide the services you are taking part in

  • Review, evaluate and improve our services

  • Report on and promote our services

 

This may be on the basis that it is necessary for the legitimate interests of Culture Shift in promoting and managing Culture Shift services and/ or that it is necessary for the performance of the contract with you, for example if you sign up for one of our services, or work with us.

 

We use film and photography to document our services for use in evaluation, reporting and promotional purposes, on our website, social media platforms and other formats and will ask for consent to do this. Where it is not necessary or appropriate to obtain your specific consent (for example group shots at public events), we use the information on the basis of legitimate interests. We take care to ensure that images used have no personally identifying information (unless, as an adult, you have provided consent for this for your own image).

 

We use health information, where we have your consent to do so and where it is necessary for medical purposes, for example, to prevent your participation in our services resulting in a medical emergency through contact with known allergens.

 

We may use gender and ethnicity, where we have your consent to do so, for impact, evaluation and reporting purposes. This information will be aggregated and anonymised.

 

We do not operate a marketing email list but we may email you, for example, to provide information about the services you are participating in.

 

We use the information collected from our website and social media platforms to learn more about how they are being used.

 

Under what circumstances may we share your information?

We may need to share your information:

  • With another named organisation, if we are working in partnership with them and they require it to help us provide the service

  • To comply with any legal obligation to do so

  • In the unlikely event of an emergency situation

  • With organisations who fund our services, who may use anonymised personal information to understand the impact of the funding they have provided

 

Culture Shift will never sell personal information to third parties for any purpose.

 

How long do we keep your information?

If you contact Culture Shift with an enquiry, your personal information will normally be deleted after six months, unless the enquiry results in you entering into a contract with Culture Shift. A contract may for example be that Culture Shift agrees to provide you with a service, or that you request to be contacted about our services at a future date, in which case, we may keep your information for six years after the contract is fulfilled, in case issues arise afterwards. Some information may be retained indefinitely for statistical or evaluation purposes.

Security
