• dealing with entries into a competition; 

• seek your views or comments on the services we provide; 

• notify you of changes to our services; 

• send you communications which you have requested and that may be of interest to you. These may include information about productions, education events, fundraising activities, or promotional offers.

We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations (for example the collection of Gift Aid).

Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf:  We may pass your information to our third party service providers, agents subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to process donations). However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service purposes.  We will never share your information without your knowledge or consent, unless we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime. 

 
When you are using our secure online donation pages or our online store, your payment is processed by a third party payment processor, who specialises in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions. If you have any questions regarding secure transactions, please contact us.

SECURITY PRECAUTIONS IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE LOSS, MISUSE OR ALTERATION OF YOUR INFORMATION

 

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. Any sensitive information (such as credit or debit card details) is encrypted and protected with the 128 Bit encryption on SSL. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear on the bottom of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. 

 

Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. 

 

 

PROFILING 

 

We may analyse your personal information to create a profile of your interests and preferences so that we can contact you with information relevant to you. 

​

TRANSFERRING YOUR INFORMATION OUTSIDE OF EUROPE 

 

As part of the services offered to you through this website, the information which you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Union (“EU”).

 

By way of example, this may happen if any of our servers are from time to time located in a country outside of the EU. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK, however, under the new GDPR guidelines, they will be required to operate within EU regulations.

 

By submitting your personal data, you’re agreeing to this transfer, storing or processing. If we transfer your information outside of the EU in this way, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Policy.
