Our Website
Our Website and online booking is hosted by Squarespace. When you enrol online for a Summer School event, your name, address, phone and email are collected from you and used for payment verification through Stripe. These companies don't use your details for any other purpose, and both adhere to the guidelines for the Privacy Shield Framework.  The Summer School never has access to your credit card details.

Like all websites, ours uses cookies to collect information. Cookies are small data files which are placed on your computer or other devices, like smart phones or tablets, as you browse our website. They are used to 'remember' when your device accesses our website. Cookies are important to keep our site operating well and to help visitors navigate it easily. Some cookies collect information about pages viewed and your journey around a website. We never use cookies to collect or record and personal details.

BSSoTM will use your name and email to facilitate the operation of our events, and may be shared with the tutor you are enrolling with. If you prefer not to be contacted by the tutor, you may request that on the first morning of classes.

Mailing List
As part of the sign up to our e-newsletter, we ask you to submit some information: your email address, area of interest, and mobile number if you would like to receive text notifications. We use MailChimp to deliver our newsletter. We can collect statistics around email openings and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our newsletter. We are not great and doing this, but we need to tell you that we can.
You can unsubscribe to emails at any time simply by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our emails, or by emailing our Data Protection Administrator, Patricia Murray at: info@BelfastTraditionalMusic.com

Under GDPR, you have the right to access and amend any of your personal data that BSSoTM. So, anytime you want to know what we have, or want to change or delete your information, all you have to do is tell us. Email Patricia Murray at: info@BelfastTraditionalMusic.com
