We do not ‘spam’ and we currently do not share, licence or sell e-mail addresses. We reserve the right to disclose your personal information to our group companies, suppliers and service providers, anyone who may take over the running of our business or who may purchase any or all of our assets including your personal information. We also reserve the right to disclose your personal information to any law enforcement agency requesting it in connection with the commission of any offence, once we are reasonably satisfied as to the circumstances surrounding the request and to access and disclose your personal information in order to comply with applicable laws and lawful government requests, to operate
our business properly. Except as expressly stated in this Privacy Policy, we will not sell, share, trade or licence your personal information to others without your express consent.
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 group companies or service suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment
of your order, the processing of your payment details and 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 privacy policy.
Any payment transactions will be encrypted.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will 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.
Security
We take every precaution to protect your personal information. In addition, we have strict security protocols in place to protect our customer database from unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised modification, and unlawful destruction or accidental loss. We only allow access to the customer database when absolutely necessary, and then under strict guidelines as to what use may be made of such details. We may ask you for proof of identity before disclosing any personal information to you.
Surveys
We always aim to improve the services we offer. As a result we may occasionally canvass our customers using surveys. Participation in surveys is voluntary, and you are under no obligation to reply to any survey you might receive from us.
Should you choose to do so, we will treat the information you provide with the same high standard of care as all other customer information.
Competitions
Your purchase of a Ticket or attendance at an Event may mean that we occasionally contact you with the opportunity to enter competitions. Entry
to competitions is voluntary, and you are under no obligation to take up an invitation from us to enter. Should you choose to enter a competition, we will treat the information you provide with the same high standard of care as all other customer information.
