What data do we collect and why?
Ticket Bookings
When you book tickets for events at Wem Town Hall we will ask you for a booking contact including name, address, telephone and email. This is so we can keep in contact with you if there are any changes to the programme for example change in start time, event information or event cancellation.
This helps us give you a better customer service experience. We only collect personal information when you provide us with it on a voluntary basis. We will not use your personal information for marketing purposes unless you have given us your consent.
With your permission, we will maintain an electronic record of tickets issued to you for events taking place at Wem Town Hall. An electronic record will also be created and maintained for any Friends membership you may hold with us. Maintaining these records helps us identify what events are most popular and informs our future decisions on what to programme at Wem Town Hall
You have the right to see what personal data we hold and if you are not happy, to ask to be forgotten. We will maintain records of tickets sales along with any personal contact information we hold for as long as there is a likelihood of you making further purchases with us. If you have not booked an event with us with us in the last three years your customer record will be deleted.
No personal data will be passed to third parties unless we are required to do so by the law.
