We may then track any subsequent actions online, such as buying a ticket.

This information, alongside your purchase and/or donation history, is used to select and inform you of other relevant events or activities we think may be of interest to you, as well as opportunities to support our work as an Arts Charity.
We use your data to:

  • Administer your ticket sale, Friends membership or donation, including processing gift aid
  • Keep a record of your relationship with us
  • Ensure we know how you prefer to be contacted

  • Tell you about changes in our services or new services, events offers, and opportunities to support us that we think you’ll find of interest

THIRD PARTIES

We will not share any of your personal details with any other third parties without your agreement, unless required in order to fulfil our contract with you, or allowed by law (for instance, if a safeguarding issue arises). In general, the third-party providers used by us to fulfil our contract with you will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. These providers include our ticketing system provider (Ticketsolve), email distribution service (Mailchimp) and mailing house. We have agreements in place with each to ensure that your data is secure at all times, and cannot be accessed or used for any other purpose. We may share personal information with other organisations, particularly The Audience Agency, who use this to analyse ticket sales for national and regional research into patterns of arts attendance in England (for instance, comparison of sales trends over time and geographical comparisons). This assists with reporting to stakeholders and strategic planning, helping us to make better business decisions. Your personal data is never sold on to any other agencies or companies.

Our website may contain links to and from the websites of other organisations. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

GIVING YOU CONTROL

Unless you ask us not to, we will tell you about shows, concerts, priority booking and opportunities to support us. Occasionally, we may include information in these communications from partner organisations or organisations who support us (for example other local arts organisations, and companies that perform here, or business sponsors). You can opt out from these communications at any time – every email, or post sent to you, will tell you how to do this. If you have opted out of marketing or fundraising communications, we may still get in touch with you regarding your booking. For example we may email you to give you important information about the show you’ve booked for with any changes that affect you (like a performance being cancelled).

With regard to fundraising we will only contact you if you have given us permission to do so.

 

HOW WE KEEP YOUR DATA SAFE

Your personal data will be held and processed on The Corn Hallsystems. Where possible we aim to keep a single record for each customer. Your data is always held securely. Access to customer information is strictly controlled. It is held in the UK and the processes are EU compliant. We may need to disclose your details if required to the police, regulatory bodies or legal advisors.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION

Sometimes we ask you to provide sensitive information, in respect of your need for a particular reservation or when you book for certain workshops or when you apply for a job.

We are committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults and do all we can to ensure that all who work with us, whether on stage or joining an education or outreach project, are safe and inspired by their experience. For the details of children and young people under 18, we will ask for the consent of a parent/guardian to provide such information. We will always require the carer’s signature on similar documentation relating to vulnerable adults. As with all the personal information we hold, sensitive information is held securely and restricted to those who need to use it. We will delete information when we no longer need it.
