Collecting Information

We do not collect personal information about you when you visit the website, unless you have chosen to provide such information by registering for an online service via the website or through one of our affiliate links (such as signing up for email updates). If you choose not to provide us with your personal information you may not be able to access some of the services offered by Shropshire Festivals such as email updates or take part in promotions.

This information includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address (a unique number that is assigned to every computer connected to the Internet), browser type, the date and time of your visit to the site, and the web pages opened. We use this information to provide logs of the use of the site, to perform statistical analyses of user behaviour (for example, to measure relative interest in the various features and content of the site), and to help us develop and improve the services we provide. This information does not include personal information about you.

 

Storing and using personal information

We collect your personal information you have provided to the site in the following ways:

  • Your email address and subscription preferences when you sign up for Shropshire Festival email alerts, and how you use our emails (for example whether you open them and which links you click on)

We may use your personal data to provide you with information on upcoming events, ticket information, features and other offerings that may be of interest to you.

We will not sell or pass on your personal information to other services or third parties except where this is essential in order to provide the service you have requested through the Shropshire Festivals website, or you have given us your permission to do so. We will always make it clear to you if we propose to share your personal information with others and seek your agreement to do so.

 

How we share personal data

We do not sell nor otherwise disclose personal data.

In addition, we may disclose your personal data if:

  • we are required to do so by law or legal process

  • it is at the request of law enforcement authorities or other government officials

  • we believe that disclosure is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.

The administrators of this site are subject to the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and may have to disclose information about the website, or users, to comply with a lawful request. Any such disclosure, however, will not offend the data protection principles under the Data Protection Act (DPA), i.e. disclosure under the FOI Act will still comply with the DPA.

 

Information Security

We take reasonable steps to protect against unauthorised access to, alteration, disclosure, or deletion of personal information. Our websites are provided by a third party hosting service, whose security measures are independently audited and certified.
