How we use your personal data

All the information we hold about you is used for three main reasons:

• Firstly, we use it to contact you with information from ourselves and our partners that we think may be of relevance and/or interest to you.

• Secondly we use it to analyse, identify and report on the size and nature of the creative industry sector in Greater Manchester, data that helps us make the case for greater industry support from government bodies like the DTI.

• Thirdly, where the support or advice provided to you has been as a direct result of a European, national, regional or local government funding scheme which requires us to keep records on businesses and individuals that have received this support.

We are committed to using your personal information for these reasons only.

The only circumstances where we may share some of your data with third parties is where, in our judgement, these third parties have a product, service, event or scheme that will be advantageous to you as an individual or business within the Greater Manchester creative sector.
