Introduction
This policy sets out how we collect, process and hold your personal data if you visit our event ticket shop or otherwise provide personal data to us.

Personal data we collect
We collect, process, store and use personal data when you book a ticket and buy any of our associated products and services to an event. This data includes your name, address and e-mail address together with payment information. We may also collect personal data that you give us about other people if you register them to attend an event. You agree that you have notified any other person whose personal data you provide to us of this privacy notice and, where necessary, obtained their consent so that we can lawfully process their personal data in accordance with this policy.
All personal data that you provide to us must be true, complete and accurate.
You do not need to provide us with any personal data to view our online event listings. However, we may still collect the information set under the Data we automatically collect section of this policy, and marketing communications in accordance with the Marketing communications section of this policy.
When you contact us by e-mail or mail, we may keep a record of the correspondence. We may also record any telephone call we have with you.
Data we automatically collect
When you visit our event ticket listings, we, or third parties on our behalf, automatically collect and store information about your device and your activities. This information could include (a) your computer or other device's unique ID number; (b) technical information about your device such as type of device, web browser or operating system; (c) your preferences and settings such as time zone and language; and (d) statistical data about your browsing actions and patterns.

The cookie identifies your browser but will not let a website know your name and/or address. These files are then used by websites to identify when users visit again.
Our event ticket shop uses cookies so that we can recognize you when you return and personalize your settings and preferences. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can change your browser settings either to notify you when you have received a cookie, or to refuse to accept cookies.

Google Analytics places several persistent cookies on your computer's hard drive. If you do not agree to this, you can disable persistent cookies in your browser. This will prevent Google Analytics from logging your visits.

We process your personal data in a manner that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions are encrypted using SSL technology.
Where we have given or you have chosen a password, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.
However, you acknowledge that no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take these steps to secure your personal data, we cannot promise that your personal data will always remain completely secure.

If any provision of this policy is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
We may change the terms of this policy from time to time. You are responsible for regularly reviewing this policy so that you are aware of any changes to it. Continued use of our event ticket shop after stated changes take effect indicates that you will have accepted the changes.
