5. Security of your Personal Information
We take reasonable measures to ensure Personal Information is kept safe and secure: from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. However data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure and no method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Any transmission of Personal Information from you to us is at your own risk. Once we have received your Information we will use procedures and security features to prevent unauthorised access.
A username and password is required to log in to any system used that holds Personal Information and you are responsible for keeping your password and user details confidential. All personal information stored by us is kept on servers in a secure environment. Only employees and approved contractors/developers we may appoint from time to time and who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access.
If tickets are purchased online, our booking pages, hosted by PatronBase, are encrypted to a high standard meaning that information is secure. The PatronBase site has a SSL certificate which allows secure connections from a web server to a browser and secures credit card transactions, data transfer and logins.
We are fully PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliant. We never share financial information with anyone else outside the Centre, nor do we store any credit or debit card details.
6. What choices do you have?
You are provided with the opportunity to make a positive opt-in to receive information for marketing and fundraising purposes by email and post.
If at any time you wish to unsubscribe from receiving communications, we include unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email communication. Marketing communication preferences can be updated at any time online via your PatronBase account, or by contacting the Box Office.

8. How long do we hold Personal Information for?
We are required by law to hold information for as long as is necessary to comply with our statutory and contractual obligations and in accordance with our legitimate interests as a data controller for a minimum of seven years. Images from the CCTV system are kept for 28 days.
