What personal information do we collect

Information you give us

When you join our mailing list, or purchase tickets, we’ll store personal information you give us such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone number and card details. We also keep a record of your purchases.

Information about your interactions with us

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

Sensitive personal data

Data Protection law recognises that certain categories of personal information are more sensitive such as health information, race, religious beliefs and political opinions. We do not currently collect this type of information about our users.

Legal basis for collecting information

Contract purposes

When you make a purchase from us or make a donation to us, you are entering into a contract with us. In order to perform this contract we need to process and store data such as your name, email address, postal address, phone number and card details. This is because for example we may need to contact you by email or telephone in the case of cancellation of a show or problems with your payment.

Legitimate business interests

We may collect and process your personal information for purposes that are in our legitimate business interests. This is the legal basis for our communications by post and email. Please contact us if you wish to no longer receive them. In the case of email, we give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them during your first ticket purchase and provide you with the option to unsubscribe in every email that we subsequently send you.

With your explicit consent

For any specific situations where the above are not appropriate, we will instead ask for your explicit consent before using your personal information.

What we do with the information we gather

We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

  • Internal record keeping.

  • Sale of tickets.

  • Customising your website experience according to your interests.

  • In order to identify and prevent fraud.

  • We may periodically send promotional email about new services, special offers or other information relating to the Radlett Centre.

  • To contact you occasionally for market research purposes. We may contact you by email, phone, fax or mail.

You have the right to object to any of this processing at any time. If you wish to do so, please contact us. Bear in mind that if you object this may affect our ability to carry out tasks above that are for your benefit. Any objections you make to any processing of your data will be stored against your record on our system so that we can comply with your requests.

Disclosure of personal information to third parties

We may disclose your personal information to third parties in the following circumstances:

  1. To our own service providers who process data on our behalf and on our instructions (for example our ticketing system software provider). We always require that these third parties comply strictly with our instructions and with data protection laws, for example around security of personal data.

  2. Where we are under a duty to disclose your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies).

Security of your personal information

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. We and our data processors have put in place appropriate safeguards to keep your personal data as secure as possible. We will not store your data anywhere that is outside of the European Economic Area. In the unlikely event of a security breach whereby your personal data is obtained by an unauthorized third party, we will inform you.

If you use your credit or debit card to purchase from us, we will ensure that this is carried out securely and in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). We optionally allow you to store your card details for use in a future transaction. This is carried out in compliance with PCI-DSS and in a way where none of our staff members are able to see your full card number. We never store your 3 or 4 digit security code.

We store your personal information so that for any subsequent purchases you make we are able to link them back to a single unique record that we hold for you on our system. We keep this information for no more than 3 years after your last purchase.
