We do not sell, rent or otherwise make available your personal information to third parties other than as provided for below.

We outsource certain business or operational functions to other organisations. To that end and for that purpose set out above, personal information may be disclosed to:

• our partners and related organisations;
• organisations which provide services to us, such as ticketing agents, external venue operators and promoters of events for which you purchase tickets, mailing houses, promotion and advertising agencies, consumer research agencies and service providers who help us operate our website and/or computer systems; or
• government or statutory authorities.

These third-party organisations may use your personal information for their own business purposes which relate to the purpose for your supplied personal information to us.

Also, we may work on joint marketing initiatives with other organisations. We may disclose your personal information to these other organisations for the purpose of such marketing.

We will only disclose your credit/debit card or bank account details to third parties if disclosure is necessary to facilitate the payments(s) for which you provided those details.

We store personal information electronically and in paper form. We take all reasonable steps to keep personal information safe and secure. However, no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You can ask to access and review the personal information we have about you. We will provide you with a copy of that personal information if it is readily retrievable. However, in certain circumstances where the law allows us to, we may withhold personal information you request, for example if providing it to you breaches the privacy of another individual.

You can also request that we update or correct any personal information we hold about you.
