2. Personal Information

2.1 The details which you provide about yourself and any information which identifies you such as your name, address, email address, telephone number, country of residence (“Personal Information”) may be retained by us if either you provide this information when using one of the services available on our website, such as subscribing to one of our email lists or when purchasing tickets or 2.4 below applies. Personal Information will be held on our system and used for operational purposes such as the processing of bookings and orders in connection with our on-line ticket and book ordering services and for mailing list subscriptions. If you opt in to marketing communications, your information may also be used to enable us and third party websites to display relevant and targeted advertisements, based on previous behaviour, purchases, or any other relevant information. In order to process a transaction, your Personal Information and card details may be passed to third party service providers. Card details will only be used for the purpose of handling an individual transaction.
The Personal Information you supply to us when you opt in to marketing communications will be used by Mikron Theatre Co. to keep you up-to-date with events and activities organised by, and news and information from Mikron Theatre Co.
Mikron Theatre Co. will never pass on your Personal Information for marketing purposes to anyone.
Each e-mail we send you offers you the opportunity to unsubscribe, or you can ask us to do this by e-mailing admin@mikron.org.uk
2.2 If you would like to revise the information provided to us at any time, or feel what we currently have on record is incorrect, you may update the information by e-mailing admin@mikron.org.uk
2.3 We may from time to time ask you for further information in order to update our records or for particular purposes. We will always tell you how we will use any further information received from you. From time to time we will need to send you our website and service announcement updates.
2.4 To tailor our communications and make our contact with you relevant, we may use data supplied by you to help us decide which of our services and products to promote to you.
We are a registered charity (No. 265169) and rely heavily on voluntary contributions from our audience and other funders. Based on the frequency of your visits and purchasing patterns, we may promote our memberships to you or ask you for additional support for our work.
From experience we know that our donors would expect us to have ascertained a level of interest and considered the appropriateness of a request for donations before approaching them. We therefore research some of our customers and supporters and occasionally potential supporters to find shared interests. This research may include information we hold on them (for example, payment methods and postcodes) and publicly-available information (for example, through social media, Companies House, Charity Commission), where they live, their age and similar demographics. In some cases, we will rely on legitimate interest for processing data of potential supporters. This means we may carry out initial research on potential higher level donors prior to requesting consent. This information will also help us to meet our obligations to protect the charity from financial fraud and risk. We do not use wealth screening companies to analyse our data.
2.5 You have the right to obtain from us an electronic or paper copy of all Personal Information concerning yourself, or to speak to a Mikron Theatre representative on any matter, by e-mailing admin@mikron.org.uk or writing to Peter Toon, Mikron Theatre Co. Marsden Mechanics, Peel Street, Marsden, Huddersfield, HD7 6BW. If you decide not to use our services any further or to instruct us to cease using your Personal Information as contemplated in this Policy, and notify us either in writing or by email as mentioned above, we shall destroy any retained Personal Information, unless it legally required to be held on file (e.g. Gift Aid details).
