SECURITY

Much of the personal information we receive is provided electronically, originating with your relevant device and then transmitted to us by your relevant telecoms network provider.

All personal information we receive will be kept as confidential and as secure as possible through the use of our secure server software. This means that the personal information can only be exchanged between you, us and any third party to whom we decide to transfer the personal information for the purposes detailed in this Privacy Policy.

We follow strict security procedures and use industry-standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of the personal information we hold. We treat personal information as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorised access. Our employees use many different security techniques to protect personal information from unauthorised access by users inside and outside the company. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. We will, of course, comply with our legal obligations. If we provide you with a user   ID and password to enable you to access restricted areas of Our Sites or other content or services you must ensure that the user ID and password is kept confidential. You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your user ID or password unless such activities were the result of a failure in our security.

PURCHASING TICKETS

If you purchase tickets from us, the transaction will be made on our ticketing partners website. In addition to the above personal information we will also collect the following personal information during the purchase:

 

• Payment details
• Information from banking, credit card and credit reference agencies
• Full details of the purchases you make
• Information on what you view, click on, purchase and access.

We work in partnership with a payments service provider for secure transaction handling. We take security very seriously.
 

YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND THIRD PARTIES

We also work closely with third parties (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising networks, marketing providers, analytics providers, search information providers and credit reference  agencies)  and may receive information about you from them or from any other people where you give them permission to share information with us, or otherwise where they can lawfully do so. We cannot run our business or provide many of the services and benefits you expect to receive without involving other people and businesses and sometimes we pass your information to these other people and businesses as set out below. We only share your information where we can do so in accordance with our legal data protection and privacy obligations.

We shall not release the personal information we collect to any third parties unless:

• It is to Google as set out in our Cookie Policy
• We are obliged or permitted to do so by law
• We need to in order to enforce or apply our terms and conditions of use and/or other agreements between us
• Material uploaded or posted by you on our site violates the rights of a third party
• We need to, to protect ourselves, our group companies, customers, the public and/or property (which may include us exchanging personal information and other information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction)
• If fraud or other criminal conduct is suspected (in which case we may disclose personal information to the police and other relevant authorities)
• We have your consent to do so
• It is necessary to do so to provide the products or services chosen by you, in which case we will inform of this when we collect your personal information
• The Police, Local Authorities, HMRC, the court or any other local government bodies request it and we may lawfully disclose it, for example, for the prevention and detection of crime
• We sell any of our business assets we may disclose your personal information to the prospective seller of such business assets
• We or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal information held by us about our customers will be one of the transferred assets


How Long We Keep Your Personal Information For

We may retain your personal information for historic research and statistical purposes for as long as we choose (which may be indefinitely).
Otherwise, in accordance with our legal data protection and privacy obligations, we will only retain your personal information for as long as we actually need it to achieve the purpose(s) for which we have obtained it in the first place. We will then either securely delete it or anonymise it so that it cannot be linked back to you.

 

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfillment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services.

We take steps to make sure that, when your personal information is handled in another country, appropriate protection is in place, in line with data-protection laws. Often, this protection is set out under a contract with the organisation who receives that information. For more information about this protection, please contact us at info@monopolyevents.co.uk
