Your Privacy Choices

At Open City, we take your privacy seriously. We are committed to handling your personal data with care, transparency, and respect.

Our full policy, accessible here, explains who we are, what information we collect, how and why we use it, how it is stored, who we share it with, and your rights regarding any information you share with us.

We process personal information in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, the Data (Use and Access) Act 2026, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). We aim to be clear and straightforward about how we handle your data and will not use it in ways you would not reasonably expect.

Open City is your data controller. This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal information about you, and we are registered by the UK's data protection legislation to explain this to you.

It is important that you read this privacy notice together with any other privacy notice or fair processing notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This privacy notice supplements our other notices and policies and is not intended to override them. 

This privacy policy applies to the following groups:

• Customers, online users, Open City Friends (members), and donors

• Participants and volunteers in our activities and programmes

• Suppliers, customers, and industry contacts

This notice does not form part of any contract of employment, and may be amended from time to time.
