The event organiser, St Mary's Kemp Town, has the legal responsibility to tell ticket buyers and event attendees how their personal information will be collected and used. You can find their Privacy Policy below or contact them to request it.
1. Information We Collect
When you book a ticket or make a donation for an event at St Mary’s Church through Ticket Tailor, we collect the personal information you provide. This typically includes your name, email address, and ticket selections. If you choose to add a top-up donation and opt into Gift Aid, we will also collect your home address as legally required by HMRC to process the claim.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your personal data strictly to:
- Issue and manage your event tickets.
- Communicate important updates or changes regarding the specific event you booked.
- Process your optional donations and submit Gift Aid claims to HMRC (where explicit permission is given).
- Manage safe capacity and accessibility requirements at our venue.
3. Data Sharing and Security
Your information is handled securely and is only accessible by authorized church administrators at St Mary's. We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third-party marketing companies. Your payment information is securely processed directly by our payment gateway (Stripe) and is never visible to or stored by the church.
4. Data Retention and Your Rights
We only keep your information for as long as necessary to manage the event, or to comply with statutory tax and auditing requirements for Gift Aid (which legally requires financial records to be kept for 6 years). You have the right to request access to the data we hold about you, request corrections, or ask for your personal data to be deleted (subject to legal financial retention limits).If you have any questions about how your data is handled, please contact us at info@stmaryschurchbrighton.org.uk.
