Why we need this information about you

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. We may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data.

Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
  • To contact you if there is any important change to your booking or visit.
  • To process a transaction and carry out completion of a purchase (your personal information and card details may be passed to third party service providers; card details will only be used in this way for the purpose of handling an individual transaction).
  • Where you have given consent, to inform you about relevant events, services or activities we believe will be of interest, as well as opportunities to support our work as Charitable Trust.
  • To enable us to supply you with the services and information which you have requested.
  • To administer any donations you may make, including processing Gift Aid.
  • To ensure that the information we already hold is accurate and up to date.
  • To improve our products, services and information in the future.
  • To send you surveys for market research purposes, to assist us with reporting and analysis for our own needs or the needs of any funding partners.
  • To help us understand more about how our website and services are used.
  • To promote the theatre and its activities (eg. imagery, quotes from social media etc.)
  • From time to time, to make recommendations to you about other relevant cultural activities by approved partner organisations. These organisations would not be in possession of your data, and the recommendations would be an add on to The Brunton’s own information, for example, by way of a PS. or a ticket offer on an email update, or within a newsletter sent by The Brunton.
  • To share with approved suppliers (for instance for research and direct mail)
  • To protect against fraud or unlawful activity.
  • To ensure compliance with policies, procedures and laws.
  • For all other purposes consistent with the proper performance of our operations.

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Marketing

It is your choice whether you receive information such as marketing from us.  If you indicated that you are interested in receiving regular information about The Brunton’s activities, we will send you communications either electronically or by post. In addition, we may send you direct mail that we feel may be of interest to you.  We will not contact you for marketing purposes unless you have given your prior consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to receive this information, please send a written request to info@thebrunton.co.uk .

Also, all of our email marketing correspondence gives you the option to opt out of receiving further marketing emails. Please note that you will still receive emails directly related to an enquiry you have submitted to us.

Sharing your data with third parties: We will only share data with third party providers on the legal bases as listed below:

For fulfilment of contract: services such as our ticketing system, email service and mailing houses. We have agreements in place with each provider to ensure your data is secure and cannot be accessed or used for any other purpose. Your personal data is never sold to any agencies or companies.

Legitimate business interests: we may make data available to approved suppliers for analysis and research purposes only, for example identifying sales trends, assessing campaign effectiveness, or postcode mapping etc. This assists us with reporting and with our strategic planning, helping us apply our resources more intelligently. All such agencies will be carefully checked and have a separate data sharing agreement with us including non-disclosure agreements, and their Privacy Policies will have to be at least as secure as our own.

Sharing data outside the EU: We are located in the UK. Some our suppliers run operations outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Although they may not be subject to the same data protection laws as in the UK, we take steps to make sure they provide an adequate level of protection in accordance with UK law. By submitting your personal information to us you acknowledge that you understand that your personal information may be transferred, and processed, outside the EEA. Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.

How long we keep your information

We review our data retention periods regularly and will only hold your personal data for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as required by law (we may be legally required to hold some types of information), or as set out in any relevant contract we have with you.

We will generally keep your information as long as is necessary to fulfil our obligations to you after which this will be destroyed if it is no longer required for the reasons it was obtained.
