About Us

Visit Egham is a collaborative project between Egham Museum, Egham Town Team, and Royal Holloway. This initiative was made possible through the support of Arts Council England to whom we are extremely grateful.

This site has been designed to showcase local events alongside places to stay and eat for visitors and tourists to the area. It is also hoped that the site will provide a method of connecting local businesses with heritage and educational institutions to build new relationships and strengthen existing ones.

The site will be continually updated to publicise new events and any seasonal offers that are available. We hope you find the site informative and useful.

Lastly, if you use social media (Instagram, Twitter or Facebook) and are making a visit to the area please feel free to include the #VisitEgham in any of your posts.

Cookie Policy

Most websites you visit will use cookies in order to improve your user experience, by enabling that website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’). Most cookies are harmless and are purely designed and installed to help your online experience.

Some people find the idea of a website storing information on their computer or mobile device a bit intrusive, particularly when this information is stored and used by a third party without them knowing. Although this is generally quite harmless, if you prefer, it is possible to block some or all cookies, or even to delete cookies that have already been set; but you need to be aware that you might lose some functionality for those websites where you do this.

If you don’t want to receive cookies, you can modify your browser so that it notifies you when cookies are sent to it, or you can refuse cookies altogether. You can also delete cookies that have already been set.

If you wish to restrict or block web browser cookies which are set on your device, then you can do this through your browser settings; the Help function within your browser should tell you how to do this.

A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server. Only that server will be able to retrieve or read the contents of that cookie. Each cookie is also unique to each of your web browsers. The cookie will contain anonymous information, such as a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and numbers.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, and generally improving your experience of a website. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website doesn’t use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site, and this can lead to slower page load times.

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’).

First party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, and they can only be read by that site. Third party cookies are set by a different organisation to the owner of the website you are visiting. For example, like many other website owners, we use an analytics tool from Google, which allows us to view general information about how users interact with our website. We use this information to improve the online experience for our website visitors.

The website you are visiting may also contain content embedded from external social media websites and these sites may also set their own cookies. We plan to introduce various social media onto our website – such as, for example; YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google + and Twitter – in future. Their respective use of cookies will not affect you unless you click on their respective icons/links.

The website you are visiting may also have links to other third party websites. We may introduce links on our page to other websites. Please note that our cookies policy only relates to the cookies that are found on our website, and that the management of other websites is outside of our control. However, we will make reasonable attempts to ensure that we are not directing you to visit websites that might use cookies in a disreputable fashion. It is your responsibility to read the cookies policy for every website you visit if you wish to understand how each intends to use them.

Some websites also use cookies to enable them to target advertising or marketing messages based, for example, on your location and/or browsing habits. We do not use these types of cookies on our website.

Session cookies are stored only temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from the user’s device when the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies are saved on your computer for a fixed period (usually a year or longer) and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used where we need to know who you are for more than one browsing session.

The Information Commissioner’s Office is the UK’s independent authority set up to uphold information rights in the public interest, promoting openness by public bodies and data privacy for individuals. If you are interested in finding out more about guidance and best practice with regards to the use of cookies on websites, please visit their website at www.ico.org.uk

1. Introduction & General Terms
This policy not only relates to any personal information you provide to our site; it also relates to our use of any personal information you provide to us via phone or text, by email, in letters, our social media or other correspondence.

The Visit Egham partnership is committed to safeguarding your personal information. Whenever you provide such information, we are legally obliged to use your information in line with all laws concerning the protection of personal information, including the Data Protection Act 2018 (these laws are referred to collectively in this policy as the “data protection laws”).

Our site may, from time to time, contain hyperlinks to and from websites owned and operated by third parties. These third party websites have their own privacy policies, and are also likely to use cookies, and we therefore urge you to review their website privacy policies too before you submit any personal data to these websites.

We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of such third party websites, and your use of such websites is entirely at your own risk.

2. Who are we?
Visit Egham provides various seminar and payroll related events. We are primarily located in the UK. When we refer to “we”’, “us” or “our”, we are referring to East Grinstead Museum.

3. What information will Visit Egham collect about me?
We may collect and process the following data about you:

Information you give us. You may give us personal information when you participate in, access or sign up to any of our products, services, activities, visit our site and/or complete any of our online forms, or by corresponding with us by phone, email or otherwise. This can consist of information such as your name, email address, postal address, landline telephone or mobile number, and date of birth, depending on the activity involved.

Information we collect about you. With regard to each of your visits to our site we may automatically collect the following information:

technical information, including Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (an IP address is a number that can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on the internet and is used to connect your computer to the Internet) from visitors to our website, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform.

Information we receive from other sources. We may receive information about you if you use any of the other services we provide. We are also working closely with third parties (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors, advertising networks, analytics providers, and search information providers) and may receive information about you from them.

Cookies. Our site uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our site. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site. For detailed information about the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them, please read our Cookie Policy.

4. How will Visit Egham use the information it collects about me?
We will use your personal information for a number of purposes including the following:

To provide our products, services arising from any engagements entered into between you and us, activities or online content and to deal with your requests and enquiries.

For “service administration purposes”, which means that we may contact you for reasons related to the service, activity or online content you have signed up for, as set out in section 5 below.

To contact you about a submission you have made, including any content you provide.

To provide you with information about our services, activities or online content that you request from us and to provide you with information about other services we offer that are similar to those that you have already purchased or enquired about.

To provide you, or permit selected third parties to provide you, with information about products or services we feel may interest you. If you are an existing client, we will only contact you by electronic means (e-mail or SMS) with information about products and services similar to those which were the subject of a previous instruction or engagement or negotiations of such to you. If you are not an existing client, and where we permit selected third parties to use your data, we (or they) will contact you by electronic means only if you have consented to this.

To use IP addresses to identify the location of users, to block disruptive use, to establish the number of visits and generally to administer our site including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing and research.

To analyse and improve the services offered on our site and to notify you of changes.

To provide you with the most user-friendly navigation experience. We may also use and disclose information in aggregate (so that no individuals are identified) for marketing and strategic development purposes.

To ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer.

Where we propose using your personal information for any other uses, we will ensure that we notify you first. You will also be given the opportunity to withhold or withdraw your consent for the use of your personal information for purposes other than those listed above.

5. When will Visit Egham contact me?
We may contact you:

in relation to any service, activity or online content you have signed up for in order to ensure that we can deliver the services to you;
in relation to any correspondence we receive from you or any comment or complaint you make about our products or services;
in relation to any contribution you have submitted to us, e.g. on our contact forms or by email or post;
to invite you to participate in surveys about our services (participation is always voluntary); and
for marketing purposes, as explained in section 4 above.

6. Will Visit Egham share my personal information with anyone else?
We will keep your information confidential except where disclosure is required or permitted by law (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies) or as described in this section.

We may share your personal information with other members of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the Companies Act 2006.

In addition, sometimes we share your information with selected third parties as follows:

to process your information on our behalf. East Grinstead Museum requires these third parties to comply strictly with its instructions and we require that they do not use your personal information for their own business purposes;
with business partners, suppliers, government organisations and sub-contractors for the performance of any engagement we enter into with them or you;
advertisers and advertising networks that require the data to select and serve relevant adverts to you and others; and
analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties:

in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets;
if our shareholders sell their shares in us to, or we sell substantially all of our assets to, a third party, in which case personal data held by it about our clients will be one of the transferred assets;
if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

7. Offensive or inappropriate content on the Visit Egham website
If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to our site or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour with regards to any of our services, we may use your personal information to stop such behaviour.

Where East Grinstead Museum reasonably believes that you are or may be in breach of any applicable laws (e.g. because content you have posted may be defamatory), we may use your personal information to inform relevant third parties such as your employer, school, email/internet provider, or law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.

8. Where we store your personal data
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us, or for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this policy, though we must state that, unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet can never be guaranteed as being completely secure. Therefore, although we will always do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

9. What if I am a user aged 16 or under?
If you are aged 16 or under, please get your parent/guardian’s permission before you provide any personal information to us. Users of this nature and without this consent are not allowed to provide us with personal information.

10. Can I find out what personal information Visit Egham holds about me?
Under the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. We charge £10 for information requests and require you to prove your identity with two pieces of approved identification. We will use reasonable efforts to supply, correct or delete personal information about you on our files.
