Explanation of the purposes which we may use your personal data:

Contract and providing services

This means things like:

•    Carrying out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, or a third party we are fulfilling a contract for. For example, sometimes we provide services for a corporate client for users of their service etc.
•    Allowing you to participate in interactive features of our service, when you choose to do so.
•    Notifying you about changes to our service or that we have taken over a service/business.
•    Registering you as a new customer.
•    Processing and delivering your order, or otherwise providing the service. This could include things like details of dietary requirements for guests if we are catering an event or assistance requirements for guests attending events.
•    Managing your relationship with us.

Legal Obligations 

This is things like keeping records for tax purposes and complying with statutory requirements when providing services to consumers.

Legitimate Interests 

This means things like running our business, provision of administration and IT services, network security, to prevent fraud and in the context of a business reorganisation or group restructuring exercise, health and safety or security requirements such as managing CCTV. Where we manage CCTV on site a separate policy will set out details regards the CCTV used.

It can also mean enabling you to participate in a prize draw, competition or complete a survey. Studying how customers use our products and services to develop our business. We may use your identity, contact, technical, usage and profile data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing). For example, we may market an event to individuals who live near a venue based on the geographical data we hold about them. We only send electronic direct marketing communications to individuals if they have consented to us doing so.
