What’s our reason / legal basis for collecting the information?
Because it’s necessary to take steps at your request to enter into a contract with you and/or to perform such a contract, e.g., send service messages, process payments and fulfil orders. This applies to initial enquiries and to contact and transaction details as well as to event details and other information which you post on, or send via, our service.
Because it’s in our “legitimate interests”, e.g., to manage and improve our service including tracking usage patterns and preventing or detecting fraud or abuse. This applies to automated usage data.
Because you’ve specifically agreed on our service (e.g, by ticking a consent box). This applies to contact or other information which you give or allow us to use for newsletters or other marketing. You can withdraw permission at any time as explained on our service or by emailing us at the above email address.
How long do we keep personal information?
Until your account has been deleted or our contract with you has otherwise ended. You can delete your account by emailing us at the above email address.
We may hold on to some of your information for longer (typically up to six years) if reasonably needed for legal, regulatory or tax reasons, deal with disputes, prevent fraud or abuse and/or enforce our terms and conditions.
We will keep your information which we use only for newsletters or other marketing until you tell us to stop sending you such messages.
To whom do we send or make available your personal information?
To other people who supply us with a service, e.g. other companies in our group who provide part of our service, hosts, payment providers, marketing agencies and businesses which help us send communications and which provide us with e-commerce, online advertising, analytics, and other IT services.
Very important: To all other users of our service, who will be able to find you by searching against your name and email address. Searchers will be able to see your name and profile photo but not your email address. Users who you invite to your event will be able to see the information you’ve posted about that event including event description, location and your bank details, if applicable. Anyone who accepts an invitation to an event will be able to see who else is going and any chat or messages sent by any other invitee in relation to that event.
To credit regulators and the police and other law enforcement authorities to help deal with fraud and abuse and/or comply with legal requirements.
