Privacy notice

This tells you what happens to the recording you send us, and to the details you send with it. It covers the crowd choir only. It is written to be read, not to be survived.

Who is responsible

West End Lottery Ltd and Respect the Egg Ltd are joint data controllers for this project. Between them they decide what is collected and what happens to it, and you can hold either of them to account.

In practice, West End Lottery runs this website, holds the recordings and answers data requests. Respect the Egg produces House of Life and decides how the finished piece is used. It does not matter which of them you contact, your request will be dealt with either way.

Contact for anything to do with your data: hello@westendlottery.com

Changing your mind

Reply to your confirmation email, or write to hello@westendlottery.com, and say you want out. If we have not published yet, we will take your recording out of the piece and delete it. If we have already published, we will remove you from any future version and delete the raw file, but we cannot recall copies that are already shared.

Under UK data protection law you can ask us to give you a copy of what we hold, correct it, delete it, restrict what we do with it, or hand it over in a portable form. You can object to how we are using it, and you can withdraw consent whenever you like.

Ask us first, and we will answer within a month. If you are not happy with how we handle it, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

You need to be 16 or over to send us a recording. By sending one you confirm that you are. We do not knowingly collect anything from under-16s.

If you are a parent or guardian and you think we have a recording of someone under 16, write to hello@westendlottery.com. We will delete the recording and everything attached to it, and take them out of the piece.

Changes to this notice

If we change anything material we will publish a new version here and change the version number. We record which version was live when you gave consent, so you can always see what you agreed to.
