We will always include the right to opt out in any such correspondence. Generally, we will either rely on the fact that this is necessary to protect our legitimate interests of running our business or where required by law we will obtain your consent.

How long will we keep your Personal Data far?

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We will ensure that any third parties we use for processing your Personal Data do the same.

We will not transfer, process or store your data anywhere that is outside of the European Economic Area.

Who we share information with

There are certain circumstances under which we may disclose your Personal Data to third parties. These are as follows:

  • To our own service providers who process data on our behalf and on our instructions (for example our website host provider). In these cases, we require that these third parties comply strictly with our instructions and with data protection laws.
  • Where we are under a duty to disclose your Personal Data in order to comply with any legal obligation (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies).
  • To specific named visiting companies whose performances you have attended. In these cases, we will always ask for your explicit consent before doing so.
  • If we run an event in partnership with another third-party organisation, some of your details may be shared in order to help us run the event.

 We do not sell information on our users to third parties.

Special Category Personal Data

Data protection law recognises that certain categories of Personal Data require additional protection such as health information, ethnicity, religious beliefs and political opinions. We do not usually collect this type of information about our visitors unless there is a clear reason for doing so.  As an example, we will process health information provided by someone who has informed us that they may require access assistance with seating. 

We may ask for other information specific to a job or volunteering role you are applying for. 

From time to time we might ask visitors to take part in audience surveys to assess many aspects, including political opinions.  This is optional, rather than mandatory and you always have the right to decline providing us with this information.

Your debit and credit card information

If you use your credit or debit card to purchase from us or to make a donation, we will ensure that this is carried out securely and in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).  

Information about your interactions with us

Through our website, we collect anonymised information about how you interact with our content. When we send you an email, we store a record of this, and in the case of emails, we keep a record of which ones you have opened – and which ones you have clicked on.

However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this Privacy Notice. You should exercise caution and look at the Privacy Notice applicable to the website in question before sharing your Personal Data.
