You can then let us know at any time that you do not wish to receive marketing messages by unsubscribing from the link in the email. You also can log into your theatre account and change the preferences or contact the theatre directly.

 

How we store and how long we keep your personal information

The duration for which we retain your personal information will differ depending on the type of information and the reason why we collected it from you. However, in some cases personal information may be retained on a long-term basis: for example, personal information that we need to retain for legal purposes will normally be retained in accordance with usual commercial practice and regulatory requirements. 

 

Personal data is stored Spekrix a ticketing software system. Enrolment forms are locked in a filing cabinet and kept until the end of the enrolment period and then shredded.

Cookies

We want to make our online services as easy, useful and reliable as we can. Therefore like most other websites we use ‘cookies’ to collect anonymous statistics about how people use our website.

 

Your rights

You have the following rights in relation to your personal information: 

 

• the right to be informed about how your personal information is being used;
• the right to access the personal information we hold about you; 
• the right to request the correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you; 
• the right to request the erasure of your personal information in certain limited circumstances;
• the right to restrict processing of your personal information where certain requirements are met; 
• the right to object to the processing of your personal information;
• the right to request that we transfer elements of your data either to you or another service provider; and
• the right to object to certain automated decision-making processes using your personal information.

 

Please note however that the withdrawal of your consent will not affect any use of the data made before you withdrew your consent and we may still be entitled to hold and process the relevant personal information to the extent that we are entitled to do so on bases other than your consent.  Withdrawing consent may also have the same effects as not providing the information in the first place, for example we may no longer be able to provide certain member benefits to you.

 

You should note that some of these rights, for example the right to require us to transfer your data to another service provider or the right to object to automated decision making, may not apply as they have specific requirements and exemptions which apply to them and they may not apply to personal information recorded and stored by us. For example, we do not use automated decision making in relation to your personal data. However, some have no conditions attached, so your right to withdraw consent or object to processing for direct marketing are absolute rights.

 

Whilst this privacy notice sets out a general summary of your legal rights in respect of personal information, this is a very complex area of law. More information about your legal rights can be found on the Information Commissioner’s website at https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/ 

 

To exercise any of the above rights, or if you have any questions relating to your rights, please contact us by email on dpo@btc.ac.uk

 

If you are unhappy with the way we are using your personal information you can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or your local data protection regulator. We are here to help and encourage you to contact us to resolve your complaint first.
