GDPR and Data Protection Policy

At Makani Cambridge, we are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data with care, transparency, and integrity. This policy outlines how we manage personal data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Who We Are

Makani Cambridge CIC is a community interest company based in Cambridge, UK. We deliver cultural and community programmes rooted in collective care, equity, and joy.

2. What Personal Data We Collect

Currently, we do not actively collect personal data through our website or events. When people register for our events through Eventbrite, Eventbrite manages that data directly. Some individuals also share their email addresses with us directly to receive our monthly newsletter.

3. How We Use Your Data

If you have given us permission (either through Eventbrite or directly), we use your email address to send you:

Our monthly newsletter

Occasional updates about future events and community offerings

We do not use your data for any other purpose, nor do we share it with third parties.

4. Who Can Access Your Data

Only the two co-founders of Makani Cambridge have access to data stored on our secure, password-protected Google Drive.

5. When We Act as a Data Processor

For some funded programmes, we are given access to data collected by our partners or funders (who are the data controllers). In these cases, we follow strict confidentiality agreements and only use the data for the purposes agreed upon by the controller.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Unsubscribe from our newsletter or Eventbrite updates at any time
  • Request that your data be removed from our records
  • Ask what data we hold about you (if any)

To make a request, please contact us at: info@makanicambridge.com 

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll post the updated version on our website.
