Why do we collect this information, and how do we use it?

We will use your information for the purposes listed below, either on the basis of performance of your contract; your consent (where we require it);  where we need to comply with a legal obligation; or our legitimate interest or those of a third party.

Developing a good understanding of visitors, participants, ticket-buyers and supporters through personal data allows us to make better business decisions enabling us to operate, market our services, and fundraise more efficiently.

We use the information we collect about you:

  • to contact you if there is any important change to your booking or visit
  • to fulfil our contract with you
  • to keep a record of the relationship we have with you
  • to process a transaction and carry out completion of a purchase (your personal information and card details may be passed to third party service providers; card details will only be used in this way for the purpose of handling an individual transaction)
  • to inform you about relevant events, services or activities we believe will be of interest, as well as opportunities to support our charitable work
  • to provide a personalised service and ensure the best possible experience when you visit us
  • to administer any donations you may make, including processing Gift Aid
  • to ensure that the information we already hold is accurate and up to date
  • to improve our products, services and information in the future
  • to assist us with reporting and analysis for our own needs or the needs of any funding partners
  • to ensure we know how you prefer to be contacted
  • to protect against fraud or unlawful activity
  • to ensure compliance with policies, procedures and laws
  • to process any recruitment information
  • to share with approved suppliers (for instance for research and direct mail)

  • for suppliers, to pay invoices or to contact you about supplying further services to us

Sharing your data with third parties

  • For fulfilment of contract: services such as our ticketing system (Spektrix), email service and mailing houses. And, for suppliers, our finance and administration systems. We have agreements in place with each provider to ensure your data is secure and cannot be accessed or used for any other purpose. Your personal data is never sold to any agencies or companies.
  • Legitimate business interests: we may make data available to approved suppliers for analysis and research purposes only, e.g. identifying sales trends, assessing campaign effectiveness, or postcode mapping etc (e.g. this might include UK Theatre, The Audience Agency, Baker Richards). This assists us with reporting and with our strategic planning, helping us to apply our resources more intelligently. All such agencies will be carefully checked and have a separate data sharing agreement with us, including non-disclosure agreements, and their privacy policies will have to be as secure as our own.

How can you update you preferences?

You can change and update your personal contact and interest preferences at any time by visiting your account online, through our Box Office team, in person or over the phone. Every email we send to you will contain an option to unsubscribe, or you can contact us via the details below. In accordance with this privacy policy we will always contact you if there is any important change to your booking, and unless you ask us not to, we will tell you about our future events, ticket offers, other relevant services (e.g. memberships), or opportunities to support our charitable work (from volunteering to fundraising).

How we keep your data safe

We are located in the UK. Your data is held in the UK and processed on secure systems. Only employees and approved contractors/developers are granted access to personally identifiable information, and only when they need to perform a specific job. If required by law (e.g. police, regulatory bodies or legal advisers), we may need to disclose your details. We will delete this information when we no longer need it.

Data retention

We will retain your information for as long as is necessary to provide you with the services you have requested or require from us or to fulfil our contract with you, unless:

  • we must keep it to comply with applicable laws or evidence compliance with such applicable laws
  • there is an outstanding issue, claim or dispute requiring us to keep such information until it  is resolved
  • the information must be kept for our legitimate business interests e.g. fraud prevention and enhancing users’ safety and security

We regularly review email and paper correspondence and minimise our storage through archiving and destruction of out of date materials. We will store data in our ticketing system for a maximum of 10 years after your last transaction or communication with us.

We have considered the nature, relevance and volume of this data, the potential risks, and the purposes for which we process your data. We have also considered legal requirements including financial and reporting timescales.

Changes to this policy

We may change or update this privacy policy at any time or when required to do so by law. Any significant changes will be communicated on our website or by contacting you directly.
