GDPR – STATEMENT OF INTENT
Kindred Spirit Investigations is required to keep and process certain information about its staff members and guests in accordance with its legal obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Kindred Spirit Investigations may, from time to time, be required to share personal information about its staff or guests with other organisations, on the rare occasion that the venue managers that we hire venues from may request guest lists for disclaimer purposes for example.
This policy is in place to ensure that all staff and Kindred Spirit Investigations guests are aware of their responsibilities and outlines how Kindred Spirit Investigations complies with the core principles of the GDPR. Organisational methods for keeping data secure are imperative, and Kindred Spirit Investigations believes that it is good practice to adopt clear practical policies, backed up by written procedures.
This policy complies with the requirements set out in the GDPR, which will came into effect on 25 May 2018. The government has confirmed that the UK’s decision to leave the EU will not affect the commencement of the GDPR.
Data that will be kept by Kindred Spirit Investigations for guests may be: Name, Address, Mobile Number / Phone Number, email address and images / videos whilst partaking in events. No other information will be processed and obtained. Account details are held by outside agencies – Stripe, Paypal and DotGo.
Data kept by Kindred Spirit Investigations for staff may be: Name, Address, Bank Account Details and Next of Kin. Images and videos of the staff will also be obtained and used for social media purposes.
Legal framework
This policy has due regard to legislation, including, but not limited to the following:
• The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• The Freedom of Information Act 2000
• The Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004
This policy will also have regard to the following guidance:
• Information Commissioner’s Office (2017) ‘Overview of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)’
• Information Commissioner’s Office (2017) ‘Preparing for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 12 steps to take now’
Applicable data
For the purpose of this policy, personal data refers to information that relates to an identifiable, living individual, including information such as an online identifier, e.g. an IP address. The GDPR applies to both automated personal data and to manual filing systems, where personal data is accessible according to specific criteria. Sensitive personal data is referred to in the GDPR as ‘special categories of personal data’, which are broadly the same as those in the Data Protection Act (DPA) 1998.
Principles
In accordance with the requirements outlined in the GDPR, personal data shall be:
• Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to individuals.
• Collected for organisational, accounting, advertising and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes.
• Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed.
• Accurate and, where necessary, kept up-to-date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, are erased or rectified without delay.
• Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; personal data may be stored for longer periods, where guests have opted to subscribe to our newsletter and for reference to event attendance for accounting purposes.
• Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.
The GDPR also requires that “the controller shall be responsible for, and able to demonstrate, compliance with the principles”.
Accountability
Kindred Spirit Investigations shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to demonstrate that data is processed in line with the principles set out in the GDPR.
Kindred Spirit Investigations will provide comprehensive, clear and transparent privacy policies, which shall be followed by all members of staff.

• Next of kin details
• Account details to allow wages to be paid
Guests:

• Data minimisation.
• Transparency.
• Continuously creating and improving security features.

Kindred Spirit Investigations shall ensure that consent mechanisms meet the standards of the GDPR.
Consent accepted under the DPA shall be reviewed to ensure it meets the standards of the GDPR; however, acceptable consent obtained under the DPA will not be reobtained.
Consent can be withdrawn by the individual at any time.
The right to be informed
The privacy notice supplied to individuals in regards to the processing of their personal data shall be written in clear, plain language which is concise, transparent, easily accessible and free of charge.

However, due to the nature of the events and locations, accidents can still happen. We encourage all of our clients to have their own third-party public liability insurance.

If you are booking the event on the basis of a Medium being present, then please contact 07500893903 for clarification prior to completing your order.
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY
18. Kindred Spirit Investigations hold all their events at locations that have had third party reports of paranormal activity witnessed by others. It is impossible to guarantee what activity may occur during an event. This may be minimal or very intense resulting in injury to yourself or clothing due to paranormal activity. Kindred Spirit Investigations accept no responsibility for whatever may occur as a result of any paranormal activity. It also accepts no responsibility if minimal or no activity is experienced on an event.
TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS

Remember Tiredness Can Kill and consideration of travel and timings should be made prior to booking and attending the event.

When a deposit has been paid this withholds others from purchasing tickets, if clients cannot make the event, it is your responsibility to pay for the event within one month prior to the event taking place. Any client that does not do this will have their tickets cancelled and the tickets will be put back on resale. To enable payment of the remaining balance an invoice, sent from Paypal, will be sent to the clients email that was provided upon booking.
CLIENT CANCELLATIONS
25. Our locations are paid for in advance, and Kindred Spirit Investigations are liable for these costs even if clients cannot make the event. Upon booking an event, clients pay a non-refundable deposit. Kindred Spirit Investigations is not responsible for changes in a client’s circumstances. When purchasing a ticket, the client is making an indication that they would like to attend the event and that they are able to do so without issue. Refunds for any cancellations will not be given within a month of the event.
Deposits are non-refundable and all payments there after towards the event are also non-refundable and non-transferable.
RESPECT POLICY
Kindred Spirit Investigations aim to host events that ensure that our clients feel safe and expect our clients to behave respectfully towards others at all times.
DIFFERENCES IN BELIEF / RELIGION
Kindred Spirit Investigations are an inclusive company. We are aware that clients attending our events may have differing opinions and views on the paranormal and expect clients to be respectful of differences of opinion. Any disrespectful behaviour can have an adverse effect on any event and cause others to become uncomfortable or upset.
DISRESPECTFUL BEHAVIOUR
Kindred Spirit Investigations will not accept any disrespectful behaviour. Any disrespectful or inappropriate behaviour will be dealt with swiftly and the client or clients responsible for the behaviour will be informed of the offending behaviour and warned to make an instant improvement otherwise they will be removed from the event. A second inappropriate or disrespectful action will lead to the client responsible being asked to leave the event. In this incident the client will not be entitled to a refund or any compensation for the event. If necessary, the police will be called to remove clients that are refusing or causing trouble.
REPORTING ABUSE
ALL physical and verbal abuse will be reported to police as routine practice and there will be no exceptions.
ALCOHOL / DRUGS
ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS ARE TO BE CONSUMED PRIOR TO OR DURING THE EVENT. There is zero tolerance with this, and any client thought to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol will not be allowed to take part in the event. We do not have to prove that you are under the influence but can act accordingly if we believe this to be the case.
We would be grateful if you could contact us as soon as possible to let us know if you are unable to attend an event, even if it is on the day of event so that we are aware that you will not be arriving and can inform our staff.
