• Contract — to process ticket sales, deliver tickets, and fulfil our obligations to you as
a customer
• Consent — to send marketing communications about future events, promotions, and
announcements
• Legitimate interests — to improve our events and services, manage customer
relationships, detect and prevent fraud, maintain the security of our systems, and
conduct internal administration. We have assessed these interests and determined
they do not override your rights and freedoms
• Legal obligation — to comply with tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements


6. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We do not carry out any automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or
similarly significant effects on you. If this changes, we will update this policy and notify you

We may also share personal data where required by law, in connection with legal
proceedings or regulatory obligations, or in connection with a business restructuring or sale.


8. International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers may process or store data outside the United Kingdom.
Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK
GDPR, such as adequacy regulations or approved contractual protections (e.g. International
Data Transfer Agreements), to ensure your data remains protected to UK standards.

collected:

accounting purposes
