These interests will be balanced against your privacy rights.

 

Consent

Consent may be relied upon for:

  • Optional marketing communications

  • Any other processing for which your permission is specifically requested

You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Sensitive information

MEIKAI does not ordinarily ask for special category information, such as medical or health information.

You may occasionally choose to provide accessibility, health or other sensitive information where it is relevant to the safe and suitable delivery of an event. This information will only be used for that purpose, handled carefully and shared only where necessary.

Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive information in the initial enquiry form.

Children's information

This website and its enquiry form are intended for use by adults.

MEIKAI does not knowingly invite children under the age of 13 to submit personal information through the website. Enquiries for school, family or community events should be submitted by a parent, guardian, teacher, organiser or other responsible adult.

Who this information may be shared with

Personal information may be shared with trusted service providers where necessary, including:

  • Banks and payment providers

  • Insurance providers

  • Venues and event coordinators

  • Equipment-hire companies and other suppliers

  • IT, website and security providers

Only the information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose will be shared.

Third-party suppliers are responsible for their own use of personal information where they act as independent data controllers.

International transfers

Some technology providers used by MEIKAI, including Wix and Google, may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, MEIKAI will rely on appropriate legal safeguards required by UK data protection law, such as adequacy regulations or approved contractual protections.

How long information is retained

Personal information will not be kept for longer than reasonably necessary.

As a general guide:

  • Enquiries that do not become bookings may be retained for up to 12 months after the last meaningful contact.

  • Booking agreements, event correspondence and customer records may be retained for up to six years after the event.

  • Invoices, payment and accounting records may be retained for up to six years, or for any longer period required by law.

  • Marketing information will be retained until you withdraw your consent or after a period of inactivity when it is no longer reasonably required.

  • Analytics information will be retained according to the settings used within Wix and Google Analytics.

  • Information connected with a complaint, dispute or legal claim may be retained until the matter and any relevant legal limitation period have ended.

Information may be deleted or anonymised earlier where it is no longer needed.
