Privacy policy

Output Arts aim to always act thoughtfully and with integrity when dealing with other people.

Online

Cookies and tracking

We self-host our own websites, this inevitably means server logging, which keeps small amounts of information every time you visit our site. For most people, this information identifies only your Internet provider. However, appropriately-served search warrants on both us and them could link this back to you. Our sites may store cookies or other pieces of temporary information in your web browser. These are only there to support the operation of the sites, such as to avoid annoying you repeatedly with a pop-up. We do not approve of, or use, any global surveillance devices such as Google or Meta tracking cookies. This is also why you will not see any "share this post" buttons on our site.

Your email address

If you sign up on our website with your email address, then we will only use this to send you our (infrequent) newsletters. If you get in touch with us directly, then we will retain your email address to communicate with you. If we work together, then we will probably also add you to our mailing list. You may unsubscribe from our newsletters at any time. We will never share your email address with anyone else without your permission.

In person

Things you tell us

We sometimes gather material (such as audio recordings) from people to use in our artworks. Whenever we do this, we will explain how the material you give us will be used and – until the artwork is finished – you are free to get in touch and ask for your contribution to be excluded. We also sometimes ask for feedback. We will store and use feedback to support our understanding of our work. We may also further process it – such as collating numbers of positive or negative responses, or selecting short excerpts – and share this information with external partners (like funding bodies) or publicly (such as a quote on our website). We will never share any identifiable information without your permission.

Photos and video

We often take photos and video to document our work, some of which may end up being used publicly (such as on our website). At open events or workshops we will make clear when we are doing this and will do our best to respect any requests for privacy made of us at the time. We aim to not take identifiable pictures of minors without the permission of the accompanying adult, but this may not always be practical at larger events where minors are likely to be in the background of any picture taken. At closed events or workshops we will never take pictures without obtaining consent.

If you have any concerns about your privacy, please get in touch.
