This website is managed by the Council Of Music Makers.

CMM brings together the Featured Artists Coalition, Ivors Academy, Musicians’ Union, Music Managers Forum and Music Producers Guild.

This Privacy & Data Policy provides information about how we collect, use and safeguard any personal information you provide to us when interacting with this website. Whenever you provide us with personal information, we will handle it in accordance with this policy. Our policies comply with relevant UK and EU laws and also aim to employ industry best practice.

We collect information about our users in two main ways:

2. When you browse the website.

Here are more details about what we are doing with that information…

EVENTS
When you book at place at one of our events you will provide a name and email address. We use Typeform to collect this information. This data will only be used to facilitate the production of the event. For that purpose, it will be accessible to personnel at each of the CMM organisations involved in managing the event.

THE WEBSITE
Our website is built on WordPress and utilises cookies, server logs and other WordPress tools to collect information about how the site is used. None of this data is associated with you as an individual and is simply used to assess how people interact with our websites in general.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS
The website includes links to third-party websites. If you click on these links, that may allow those third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their privacy policies.

STORING YOUR INFORMATION
Although most of the information we directly store and process will stay within the UK, some information may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area, mainly where one of our providers has servers located in a country outside the EU. Where this happens we will take steps ensure your privacy continues to be protected in line with this policy.

SHARING YOUR INFORMATION
Neither CMM nor any of the CMM organisations will sell or release your personal data to any third party organisations, except where legal requirements obligate us to do so.
