Cookies

 

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

Hiring the Venue

 

When you hire part, or all, of our venue we will collect your name, contact address, contact telephone number and payment information.

 

If you’re paying by payment card, our payment processor will collect and process your card details on our behalf. If you pay by cheque or invoice we will see your bank details as a consequence, but we will not store this information. We may also collect some personal information relating to the nature of the event for licensing purposes.

 

Visiting Us

If you buy anything at our venue, we will only collect data if you use a payment card to allow us to process the payment – this is done by our payment processing partner not by us.

 

Our venue uses CCTV to ensure the security and safety of our visitors and staff. If you are captured on CCTV while in our venues this is part of your personal data and you have the rights over it that are set out later in this policy.

 

As the recording system records digital images, any CCTV images that are held on the hard drive of a PC or server are deleted and overwritten on a recycling basis and, in any event, are not held for more than 30 days. Once a hard drive has reached the end of its use, it will be erased before disposal.

 

Protecting your data

 

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we use suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

 

We take the security of your data very seriously. We will always obey the letter and the spirit of the data protection laws that apply to us.
