The Natashas Project:
(Registered Charity No. 1176994)
Privacy Policy
The Natashas Project is an international, non-profit, dance charity founded in 2013.
We have three distinct initiatives: raising awareness of modern slavery via dance performances, the provision of therapeutic restorative dance workshops for women rescued from human trafficking, and educational workshops for schools, youth groups, festivals, and clubs, informing people of human trafficking and inspiring them to combat it, in their own communities.
When you request information from The Natashas Project, sign up to any of our services, buy things from us or engage with us as an audience member, donor or mailing list member, we obtain information about you. This could be when you purchase a ticket, participate in a project, workshop or dance class, make a donation, or sign up to our mailing list. These interactions may occur online, in person or over the phone.
This policy explains how we collect and look after that information and what we do with it.

How The Natashas Project store your information
We store your information securely on our computer system, we restrict access to those who have a need to know, and we train our staff in handling the information securely. Data is stored electronically, protected by strong passwords to stop unauthorised access. All data will be kept confidential and used only to support your relationship with The Natashas Project.

Sharing your information with others
We understand the importance of maintaining and protecting your privacy and will never sell or rent your personally identifiable information to anyone.
You have the right to obtain a copy of all the information we hold about you (apart from a very few things which we may be obliged to withhold because they concern other people as well as you). To obtain a copy, write to The Natashas Project’s Creative Director, Erena Bordon Sanchez on erena@thenatashasproject.co.uk or restorative@thenatashasproject.co.uk.

If you don’t want to hear from us
You always have an option to unsubscribe from all marketing emails via a link on our emails or on the contact us page on our website, www.thenatashasproject.co.uk/contact-us.
How we use your information
We will use your data to tell you about our activities by email – either because you have signed up to receive this information, or because we think you will be interested in hearing about what we do (e.g. you work in the arts, have worked with us before or might be interested in using some of our services such as booking a performance, booking our education workshops, etc.). Sometimes we might also contact you about the services we provide or the campaigns we run, which may include information on activities, events, ways to support The Natashas Project, fundraising campaigns, workshops and classes. You have the right to ask us not to contact you in this way. We will always provide a clear method for you to opt out. You can also contact us directly at any time to tell us not to send you any future marketing material.
From time to time we may use the information we hold about you for analysis and research purposes (this might include, for instance, postcode mapping or future fundraising potential, etc.) This assists with strategic planning, helping us to make better business decisions and supporting our future growth as a company.
