We process your personal information gathered on this website to tailor our marketing to your needs and to improve our website and marketing for future customers. The specific purposes for which we may process information, and the lawful basis on which we do so in each case, are set out below.

Tailoring This Website To Your Needs

We want to make our website easy to use and personalise. We use preference cookies to store your preferences, such as website language selection, so that you do not need to make the same selections every time you visit our website.  We record your consent to store cookies when you first visit the site and click on the cookie notice, and we provide details on how to change your settings here (cookie policy).

Contacting You With Marketing Emails To Keep You Informed About Our Show(s)

We want to help you to hear more about this show and other similar shows that we produce. We provide facilities on this site for you to sign up to receive email mailings from us to learn more about our shows. We will send you newsletters and mailings by e-mail on the basis of your specific consent when you supply your email details, which you may withdraw at any time.  You may withdraw consent by clicking on the unsubscribe link which we will include in each email and following the simple opt-out process, or by emailing [email protected] to request that you are unsubscribed. Your information, and details of when you consented to receive marketing emails, and any other preferences you share will be stored securely in our marketing system and will be retained until you withdraw your consent to be contacted. We will not share this data with third parties for their own use, though we may engage appropriate suppliers to send emails on our behalf. We use MailChimp to handle e-mail signup on this site and to send newsletters. You can find their privacy policy here.  

‘Soft opt-in’ or B2B mailing lists: In some instances (such as with our existing UK customers) the law may permit us to process your personal information in order to send information to you by email that we think is of interest for you and/or your business on the basis of our legitimate interests, being our legitimate interest to promote our business. If you would like to be removed from that list, please let us know by clicking unsubscribe at the bottom of any marketing email that you receive and following the simple opt-out process, or by emailing [email protected] to request that you are unsubscribed.

From time to time we will share your data securely and temporarily with partners to dedupe mailing lists and avoid sending you unnecessary emails.

Improving The Effectiveness Of Our Website

We want to make sure that our website enables people to learn about the show and to book tickets and that the site meets the needs of our customers and is easy to use. To do this, we need to understand how people use this site, where they spend time and which pages they find less useful. We use Google Analytics to understand how you and other visitors use our website, for example recording in what order pages are visited and how long is spent on each, so that we may improve the website in future. Google Analytics’ privacy policy may be found here. We record your consent to store site analytics cookies when you first visit the site and click on the cookie notice. The lawful basis on which we process these analytics cookies is our legitimate interest in improving our website as we believe that the use of such cookies is not intrusive. Details of how to change your cookie settings so that you do not participate in our site analytics may be found here (cookie policy)..

Targeting And Measuring The Effectiveness Of Our Digital Marketing

We may process your data for monitoring and improving our online advertisements. While we do not permit third-party advertising on our website, we undertake remarketing advertising to people who’ve previously visited our website.  We know that many people visit a show site several times to learn about the show and dates when tickets are available before deciding to book tickets. We want to make sure that our digital advertisements on other websites and social media are seen by people likely to be interested in the show, including by visitors to this site who have not yet booked.  We may use available browsing history, including visits to this website, to identify people to whom we wish to show advertisements on websites operated by third parties and to record how many visitors are referred to our site from other sites.  We advertise on a variety of external websites including social media networks, which means that if you browse one of these websites or on a social media platform you may be subject to targeted marketing via that platform (including in your newsfeed).  Serving personalised ads, means that your information may have been used to service you more relevant online advertising on third-party services. We also want to understand and improve the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.  We measure this by measuring visits to the website and ticket bookings.  We use advertising tracking cookies to achieve this and process these cookies on the basis of legitimate interest. We believe that showing relevant advertisements is in your interest as well as ours and we do not believe that such personalisation is generally considered intrusive. 

We respect any decision not to participate in personalised advertising, in which case third-party sites may show you non-personalised advertising and you may still see advertisements for our show. We record your consent to store advertising tracking cookies when you first visit the site and click on the cookie notice. Details of how to change your settings to opt out of personalised advertising may be found here (cookie policy).  

We work with third-party advertising networks and social media platforms as set out in our cookie policy here (cookie policy).  If you would like to find out more about the way these third parties collect and process your information, please refer to their respective privacy policies and/or terms and conditions. Our tracking cookie information is not shared with third parties for their own use, though we may use it to reconcile advertising costs with the publishers of third-party sites.  By interacting with the consent tool on our website, you are able to consent to our use of cookies or similar technologies. You are able to withdraw your consent at any time by going back to the consent tool and changing your settings there
