Please check the privacy policies of those websites before you submit any personal data to these websites.

YOUNG PEOPLE

We are especially committed to protecting the privacy of any young people that engage with or participate in our work. If you are under 18, please ensure that you obtain your parent/guardian’s consent before and whenever you provide personal information.

Personal data relating to young people will be held securely on our database. This data will be protected and only accessible by certain staff members.

SHARING YOUR INFORMATION

We may share your personal information with our subsidiary trading companies, which we have set up to meet our charity law obligations in order to carry on various trading activities, such as our catering operation.

We may share your personal information with:

our trusted service providers, sub-contractors and agents that we may appoint to perform functions on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions, including payment services providers, ticketing services providers, email communication providers, IT service providers, postal mailing providers, accountants, auditors and lawyers
other venues or organisations with whom The Herd partners, but only if you have given consent
social media sites for the purposes of data analytics and targeted advertising

We require all organisations with whom we share your personal information to respect the security of your information and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes.

We might also have to share your information if we have to by law or where we need to protect you or other people from harm.

Other than as expressly set out in this Privacy Policy, we will not sell, rent, trade or distribute your personal information to third parties without your express consent or are required by law to do so.

Please note that sensitive personal data will not be shared with third parties without your consent, except in any anonymised format when we are required to report to Arts Council England or our other funders.

GIVING YOU CONTROL

At the point where we collect your data we will ask for your consent to be contacted by email for marketing and/or fundraising purposes, and whether you are happy for us to share your information with named third parties. You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. You can choose to opt out of email communications at the bottom of any email you are sent from us. Click on ‘Unsubscribe’ in e-shots, or email hello@thehertheatre.co.uk.

Please note that when you opt out of receiving communications, this will not apply to communications relating to your purchase of a ticket or other service from us.

Please be aware that, if you opt out or fail to provide us with your information, it may be that we cannot provide you with certain services: we will let you know if this is the case.

KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION UP-TO-DATE

The accuracy of your personal information is important to us and you can help keep our records up-to-date by telling us when your contact details and other personal information changes, and if you change your mind about how we contact you. You can change your details or communications preferences by emailing hello@thehertheatre.co.uk.

TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE EUROPE

We do not transfer your personal information outside the European Economic Area.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know it. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are legally required to do so.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use security measures as outlined above to try to prevent unauthorised access.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

We will only keep your personal information in accordance with data protection law for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Where your information is no longer required, we will ensure it is disposed of, deleted or cached in a secure manner.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of the information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

You are in control of your personal information. Under certain circumstances you have the right to:

Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
Ask us to correct information that’s wrong, to delete it or to request that we only use it for certain purposes
Request that we provide your personal information to you or another organisation in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format
Object to us processing your personal information based on our legitimate interests, including profiling
Change your mind and ask us to stop using your information, for example, unsubscribing from any marketing emails. Please be aware that if you ask us to stop using your information we may not be able to provide certain services to you: we will let you know if this is the case.

If you would like to exercise any of your legal rights in relation to the personal information that we hold about you, please email hello@theherdtheatre.co.uk or write to us at The Herd Theatre, 38 Huntley Drive, Hull, HU5 4DR.

Your request must include your name, email address and postal address and we may request proof of your identity.

If you have a concern about the way in which we use your personal information, you may also make a complaint to a supervisory authority for data protection matters. In the UK this is the Information Commissioner’s Office: https://ico.org.uk/concerns/. If you live in another EEA country, you may complain to the supervisory authority in your country.
