   • Contact details such as telephone numbers and email addresses;
   • Where they are relevant to  a particular show, workshop or event, or where you provide them to us, we may process information such as gender, age, date of birth, relevant medical information and next of kin.

   • To send you communications which you have requested and that may be of interest to you.  These may include information about shows, fundraising activities and events.

What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?

Most of our data is processed because it is necessary for our legitimate interests. An example of this would be we hold contact details for our cast so we can contact them about rehearsal schedules and show updates. We will always take into account your interests, rights and freedoms.

Where your information is used other than in accordance with one of these legal bases, we will first obtain your consent to that use.

Sharing your personal data

Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential.  It will only be shared with third parties where it is necessary for the performance of our tasks or where you first give us your prior consent. An example of this might be if you are on the guest list for a show we may share your name and contact details with the venue box office so they can manage your tickets and entry into the venue. We do not share your data with any third party for marketing purposes.

How long do we keep your personal data?

We keep a record of current and past committee, group members, cast and crew, for the purposes of keeping them informed of upcoming events.  We offer an unsubscribe option on all emails.

We keep an online record, through Ticketsource, of people who have purchased show tickets. This is cross-checked when allowing access to ticketed events and for answering queries on bookings. The information is deleted on a rolling schedule as per the Ticketsource policy.On Ticketsource there is an opt in option for marketing uses. As of March 2018 we have not used this list for marketing purposes but may in the future.  Ticketsource operates its own GDPR compliant databases with appropriate deletion policies and their Data Processing Agreement is here. We use Stripe to process card payments and their GDPR policies are on their website.
