Cookies
Like most websites, this site uses cookies. A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps to analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor, anonymously, which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
Security measures
Ensuring your data remains safe is our top priority and we have appropriate security measures in place. We work hard to maintain the physical and digital protection of your data. If it is necessary for us to share your personal information with third parties and we have your consent to do so, we’ll make sure your data is protected during the transfer.
Controlling your personal data
We know that there are times you might want to withdraw your consent and to have us stop processing information about you. Though we’d be sad to see you go, we’ll respect your wishes and securely remove your personal information from our database.
You can withdraw your consent for us to store your personal data at any time. You can request also access to the details we hold about you under the Data Protection Act 1998. Just email secretary@harrogateorchestra.org.uk. Should this information be incorrect or incomplete, please inform us as quickly as possible so that we can amend it.
Links to other websites
We may, from time to time, link to other websites from our own if we think that they’d be interesting or relevant to you. However, once you leave the HSO website, we won’t have any control over what you will find there.
We are not responsible for the protections and privacy of any information you submit while visiting external pages. Please exercise caution and consider the privacy policy of the website in question before providing any personal data.
In particular please note that the ‘Listen’ feature on this website uses a third party application called ‘Soundcloud’. You can review the Soundcloud cookie policy via a link on the panel for each music extract.
