Stagecoach Performing Arts Privacy Policy


Introduction

Stagecoach Theatre Arts Limited and its subsidiaries (trading as Stagecoach Performing Arts) and its partner, Trafalgar Entertainment Group, are committed to protecting your personal data. As a business it is necessary for us and our franchisees to collect, store and process personal data about our customers, suppliers, and other third parties who we engage with to provide services for us or with whom we do business. This Privacy Policy gives you detailed information on when and why we collect your personal data, how we use it and how we keep it secure.

With the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (GDPR), the way personal data is kept and used by businesses has come under much greater scrutiny. This Privacy Policy is therefore very important to us and sets out how we will process personal data we collect from, or is provided by, data subjects and others on their behalf.

This Privacy Policy sets out how we comply with our legal obligations when processing personal data and enables individuals about whom we hold data to have confidence in us. It is important that you read this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy may be amended at any time so please check back to this page from time to time. We may also inform you of any changes where we hold an appropriate email address for you. This Privacy Policy was updated in August 2018.

How we process your personal data

Stagecoach will never share, sell, rent or trade your personal information to any third parties for marketing purposes without your prior consent.

Some of our service providers may have access to your data in order to perform services on our behalf. We make sure anyone who provides a service for Stagecoach enters into an agreement with us and meets our standards for data security. They will not use your data for anything other than the clearly defined purpose relating to the service that they are providing.

We may share your details with:
  • Service providers who work on behalf of Stagecoach for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you, for example, payment processing, printers and mailing houses, marketing agencies, database services, website hosting or email delivery service.
  • Other organisations such as competition organisers, photographers and survey providers etc. if you choose to take part in such activities that need administration by third parties and you choose to opt in for contact from those organisations.
  • Third party data services,  - for example, Experian, - who help us to segment and understand our audience by providing additional information so that we can send the most relevant and targeted communications possible.
  • Third party advertisers (such as Facebook or Google) to help us identify customers similar to our audience or to serve relevant adverts to you on third party websites. The information shared with these advertisers is pseudonymised to protect your personal data.
  • Trafalgar Entertainment Group, a partner of Stagecoach Performing Arts.  This data will only be shared subject to you choosing to opt in for contact from them.  The Trafalgar Group Privacy and cookie policies can be reviewed at http://trafalagarentertainment.com/privacy-and-cookies-policy
  • Stagecoach is not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other websites even if accessed using links from www.stagecoach.co.uk/stagecoachfranchise.com and recommends that you check the privacy policy of each website you visit and contact its owner or Data Protection Manager if you have any concerns or questions.

Despite all our precautions, no data transmission over the internet is 100% secure. So, we cannot guarantee the security of any information which you disclose to us and so wish to draw your attention to the fact that you do so at your own risk.

Keeping your personal data secure

Stagecoach is committed to protecting the personal information you entrust to us. We adopt robust and appropriate technologies and policies, so the information we have about you is protected from unauthorised access and improper use.

As part of the services offered to you through the Stagecoach website, the personal information you provide may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). By way of example, this may happen if any of the computer servers used to host the website are located in a country outside of the EEA. If Stagecoach transfers your personal information outside of the EEA in this way, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Stagecoach may transfer your data to the USA to organisations such as Facebook or Google. The USA has weaker data protection laws than that of the EEA, and therefore we will ensure that only organisations who are a part of the EU/US  privacy shield initiative will handle your personal information. More details on this certification can be found at www.privacyshield.gov/welcome

We will keep your information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and to fulfil our legal obligations. We will not keep more information than we need. The retention period will vary according to the purpose. For example, partially completed enrolments (12 months), enquiries (12 months), CV’s (6 months).  For further information about how long we will keep any particular piece of information, please contact us using the contact details outlined in this Privacy Policy.

If you ask us to stop sending direct marketing communications to you, we will keep the minimum amount of information (e.g. name, address or email address) to ensure we adhere with such requests.


Your rights

You should find it easy to access and amend the personal information that we hold on you, or request that we stop contacting you. It’s your data and we want to make sure you feel in control of it.

Every email we send to you will include details on how to change your communications’ preferences or unsubscribe from future communications. If you would like to see what information we hold, you can request full details.

You can also request full details of personal information we hold about you under the Data Protection Act 1998, or after 25 May 2018, The General Data Protection Regulation 2018, by contacting the Data Protection Officer, Peter Brayshaw. Please email a description of the information you would like to see, together with proof of your identity to finance@stagecoach.co.uk.

At any time you have the right to ask Stagecoach to amend or stop how it uses your personal information including for marketing purposes. You can do this by phoning, emailing or writing using our contact details below. You have the right to get information held about you by us corrected. If you have any concern about the accuracy of your personal data, please let us know using the below contact details. If you would like us to remove the personal information we hold about you, please contact us using the contact details below.

If you have given consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal data for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact our Data Protection Office, Peter Brayshaw, at finance@stagecoach.co.uk. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.

When dealing with a request from a child relating to any of the above rights, we will need to make a decision on whether the information should be provided to them or to their  parents/legal guardian and will be guided by the individual’s age at the time of request and their level of understanding about what they are requesting and why. For these purposes, we take the view that most children will reach this level of understanding at around age 16.


You have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, The Information Commissioner’s Office – www.ico.org.uk
