1. Introduction
Your personal information is being processed by the The Live Event Organisation ('LEO'). For a full list of our brands and projects please visit our web site. LEO respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. We comply with the principles of the Data Protection Act 1998 and aim to maintain consistently high levels of best practice in our processing of your personal information. This Privacy Notice relates to our use of any personal information you provide to us through the LEO network of websites.
In order to provide you with the full range of services, we may request and/or record information about you. This privacy notice explains the following:
- the type of information we collect;
- how the information is used;
- when we may contact you;
- whether we will disclose your details to anyone else; and
- the use of cookies.
LEO websites may contain hyperlinks to websites owned and operated by third parties. These third party websites have their own privacy notices and we encourage you to review them. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of such third party websites and your use of such websites is at your own risk.
2. The type of personal information LEO collects?
When you sign up to participate in or receive a service from any LEO website, such as a newsletter, awards entry, attendance reservation, or judging forms we will ask for limited personal information. We will also collect personal information from you when you subscribe to one of our projects and when you communicate with us over the telephone or via written correspondence. This can include information such as your name, postal address, telephone or mobile number, fax number, email address, gender or date of birth. Different LEO websites may ask for different pieces of personal information. By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable LEO and its service providers to provide you with the services you select.
3. The uses of the information
LEO will use your personal information for a number of non-marketing purposes including the following:
- we may contact you for service related reasons that you have subscribed to, signed up for, or participate in (e.g. to make you aware of any problems with the sites, reminding you of a password or username, or about a comment you have made on a website.);
- to invite you to share your opinions and comments through a research study about the level of service you receive from us;
- to track traffic flows and to make our websites easier for you to use;
- to fulfil entries and bookings;
- to provide a user online community; and for
- planning and managing our business activities by understanding aggregated analysis on behaviour and habits;
We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group which includes our subsidiaries as defined in section [736 of the Company Act 1985] 1159 of the Companies Act 2006
4. Use of information for marketing purposes
LEO may use the information you have provided to promote the products and services of LEO or others.
However, be assured that we understand the irritations of unsolicited communications and are committed to fully respect the rights and obligations set out in the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003.
If you don’t want it, you won’t get it. Any marketing communication you receive will always include a clear, simple option to refuse, or ‘opt-out’ of such future communications. You may also opt-out at ANY time by contacting us (see below).
The Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and the Mailing Preference Service (MPS) offer consumers important statutory and non-statutory protection against unsolicited marketing contact. If you are registered on either service, LEO will assume that your subsequent submission of personal data via a LEO website or data capture form indicates, for the time being, your consent to receive marketing by us. You may opt-out at ANY time by contacting us (see below).
5. Sharing of information
LEO may disclose your personal data where it believes it is compelled to do so by law; in particular for the prevention or detection of crime, the capture or prosecution of offenders; and the assessment or collection of tax or duty.
Occasionally, we may share your contact information with carefully selected third party companies whose products and services we feel may be of interest to you. We will keep these offers relevant to your interests. It's easy to unsubscribe from any email or mobile messages you no longer want. (see below).
We use a number of third party organisations to help provide a professional service to our customers (i.e. fulfilment bureaus, call centres, and website designers). These organizations act as data processors and are strictly controlled in how they may/may not use your personal data. We remain responsible for the protection of your data.
Please note that some of our partners may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Countries outside the EEA may not be required to protect personal information as stringently as countries inside.
6. Finding out what personal information LEO holds
Under the Data Protection Act 1998 you have the right to request a copy of the personal information that LEO holds about you. There will be an administration fee of £10 associated with this request and will require two pieces of identification to prove your identity.
