Third-party links

This website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

2. The data we collect about you

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

· Identity Data includes first name, last name, nickname and year of birth.

· Contact Data includes postcode, city, country, email address, Google ID or Apple ID and telephone numbers.

· Location Data includes your physical location;

· Technical Data includes internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access the website.

· Profile Data includes your username and password, the groups you have joined, preferences and any feedback you provide.

· Usage Data includes information about how you use our website, products and services.

· Marketing and Communications Data includes your preferences in receiving marketing and/or offers from us and other third parties, and your communication preferences. It also includes information about you, such as your name, email address, phone number, message contents, attachments, or other information you choose to provide when you contact us. If you subscribe to our newsletter, then we will collect certain information from you, such as your email address. When we send you emails, we may track whether you open them to learn how to deliver a better customer experience and improve our website.

· Event Data includes the events you create and invite friends to and may include the attendees, place, time, and any other details about an event that you include.

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

If you fail to provide personal data

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

3. How is your personal data collected?

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

· Direct interactions. You may give us, or allow us access to, your Identity, Contact, Location, Profile and Marketing and Communications Data when you use our services.

· Third parties. If you choose to sign up to the website using an Apple ID or Google ID, we will receive information you permit those platforms to share with us.

· Automated technologies or indirect interactions. As you interact with our services, we will automatically collect Technical Data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns and Usage Data about how you use our website, app, products and services. We collect this personal data by using cookies and other similar technologies.

4. How we use your personal data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

· Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.

· Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

· Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data although, when we are required to do so, we will get your consent before sending direct marketing communications to you via email or text message.

We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes for which we will use your personal data set out above.

Please refer to the “Your Choices” section of this privacy policy where we describe the controls that you can use, along with other relevant settings associated with your account, to limit the sharing of certain information. We are not responsible for the other users’ use of available information, so you should carefully consider whether and what to post or how you identify yourself on the website.

· External third parties when required to operate our business, including third parties that operate venues that we think you may wish to visit.

business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.

· Law enforcement and government agencies.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

6. International transfers

Some of the external third parties that we use to operate our business may based outside the UK and the EEA, so their processing of your personal data could involve a transfer of data outside those regions.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK or the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring appropriate safeguards are implemented.

7. Data security

We have put in place reasonable security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

8. Data retention

How long will you use my personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
