5. Lawful Basis for Processing

We process personal information where:

• It is necessary for our legitimate interests in organising and promoting our events.
• It is necessary to fulfil arrangements with participating organisations.
• We have obtained consent where consent is the appropriate legal basis.

6. Photography and Filming

Photography and video are an important part of showcasing the impact and success of our events.

Participating schools are responsible for obtaining any parental or guardian permissions required under their own safeguarding, photography and data protection policies.

Schools must notify UK Manufacturing Festivals before the event of any pupils who must not be photographed or filmed and provide a practical method of identifying those pupils to our event team.

Where no such information is provided before the event, UK Manufacturing Festivals will reasonably assume that the school has obtained the necessary permissions for pupils attending the event to appear in photographs and video recordings used for promotional, marketing and publicity purposes.

We will make every reasonable effort to respect any restrictions that are communicated to us.

UK Manufacturing Festivals is committed to safeguarding children and young people. Our approach to photography and filming forms part of our wider safeguarding arrangements.

7. Company Logos

We may display the logos of organisations that have exhibited at, sponsored or otherwise supported UK Manufacturing Festivals on our website, social media channels and promotional materials.

This may include logos from both current and previous events to recognise their involvement and to promote UK Manufacturing Festivals and future festivals.

If you would prefer your organisation's logo not to be used in this way, please contact us and we will consider your request.

We do not sell, rent or trade personal information.

We may share information where necessary with:

• Participating schools and exhibitors where appropriate for organising events
