Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 August 2026

First Take Workshops respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it and how we use it.

What information do we collect?

We may collect personal information when you:

• Join our mailing list to hear about upcoming workshops

• Book a workshop

• Contact us by email

Depending on how you interact with us, this may include your name, email address, telephone number and any other information you choose to provide when making an enquiry or booking.

How do we use your information?

We use your personal information where necessary to:

• Manage and process workshop bookings

• Respond to enquiries and communications

• Send information about upcoming First Take Workshops if you have chosen to join our mailing list

• Communicate with you about a workshop you have booked

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Our mailing list

If you choose to join our mailing list, we will use the email address you provide to let you know about new workshops, workshop launches and relevant First Take Workshops news.

You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us directly.

Workshop bookings and payments

Workshop bookings may be made through our website or through a third-party booking platform such as Eventbrite.

When you book through a third-party booking platform, the information you provide may also be processed by that provider in accordance with its own privacy policy.

Payment may be made through the booking platform or, where offered, by bank transfer (BACS).

We do not collect or store your full payment card details ourselves. Card payments made through a third-party booking or payment provider are processed by that provider.

How we protect your information

We take reasonable steps to keep your personal information secure and to prevent it from being lost, misused or accessed without permission.

We only keep personal information for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including where we are required to retain information for legal, accounting or business purposes.

Under UK data protection law, you have rights in relation to your personal information. Depending on the circumstances, these include the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you

• Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information

• Request deletion of your personal information where there is no good reason for us to continue holding it

• Object to certain uses of your information

• Ask us to restrict how we use your information in certain circumstances

• Withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications at any time

Third-party services
