Data Protection Act | Processing for limited purposes

Personal data may only be processed for the specific purposes notified to the data subject or for any other purposes specifically permitted by the Data Protection Act (1998). This means that personal data must not be collected for one purpose and then used for another. If it becomes necessary to change the purpose for which the data is processed, the data subject must be informed of the new purpose before any processing occurs. Dorset Opera will not pass personal data to any external organisation, unless required by law to do so, other than the Friends of Dorset Opera, the providers of box office facilities (currently the Regent Centre), and any other providers of services to Dorset Opera who undertake that any data will be used solely for the purposes specified by Dorset Opera or the Dorset Opera Festival.
