What we do with the information

Marketing

We aim to communicate with you about the work that we do in ways that you find relevant, timely and respectful. For email communications, we use your opt-in consent to be contacted in this way as our legal basis (for example, when you join our mailing list on our website). We will give you an opportunity to opt out of receiving our email communications every time we contact you. 

 

We process personal information in the following ways that are within our legitimate organisational interests:

 

  • We may analyse data we hold about you to ensure that the content and timing of communications that we send you are as relevant to you as possible.
  • We may analyse data we hold about you in order to identify and prevent fraud.
  • We may analyse anonymised data to learn about audience behaviour within our work and use this information to inform future works.
  • In order to improve our website, we may analyse information about how you use it and the content that you interact with.
  • We may use the information we collect to help us to understand your interests and preferences. We may also use publicly available information about you from sources such as public registers, online (including records that you have made public on social media) or the electoral roll. This information helps us to communicate with you in a relevant way, in particular when we are approaching you about potential philanthropic support. This enables us to raise funds sooner and in a more tailored way than we otherwise would.

In all of the above cases we will always keep your rights and interests at the forefront. You have the right to object or withdraw your consent for us to process your data. If you wish to exercise this right, please use the contact details below. Please bear in mind that if you object, it may affect our ability to carry out tasks that help us improve our service. 

 

Third Parties

We regularly collaborate with other artists, organisations and partners and we will only share an individual’s data where consent has been sought and given. Outside In Theatre may include information about events and projects by third parties who we have worked with, or who we believe have similar values and artistic aims, through our social media channels or email communications. 

Under no circumstances will we ever sell personal data to anyone. There are certain circumstances under which we may disclose, or be obliged to disclose, your personal information to third parties. These are as follows:

 

  • To our own service providers who process data on our behalf and on our instructions (for example our ticketing system software provider). In these cases we require that these third parties comply strictly with our instructions and with data protection laws, for example around security of personal data. Where we are under a duty to disclose your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies).
  • We may share reports about audience behaviour within our projects in anonymised form with our commissioners, partners and general audiences to share industry learning and best practice. Such reports will use anonymised data only.
  • If there is a lawful reason to do so, such as where safety may be at risk in line with our Safeguarding Policy.
