Midland Players Mailing List

Our full Privacy Policy, including your rights, can be found here: http://www.midlandplayers.co.uk/contact-us/privacy-policy. The information below is the section specific to this mailing list

1 For this list we ask subscribers to supply only an email address and the consent to use it to send notifications of new Midland Players productions. For each production by or involving Midland Players we will send an initial marketing email, and no more than one reminder as rehearsals progress. If there are any major changes to the society, a production, policies, regulations or laws which are likely to affect playgoers then we may inform subscribers of those too, but this will be infrequent, as will requests to re-confirm their consent to email them. We hold this data on the Lawful Basis of ‘Consent’. Until June 2017 consent was actively given via post, email or active selection on a ticket order form. Since then consent has been given through submission of an online subscription form with a second-stage confirmatory email. 2 In addition to the email address and consent to market, we hold, via MailChimp, for each subscriber, a record of which emails have been sent to them. Where possible Mailchimp also records whether the subscriber opened the email and whether they followed a link, plus an estimate of their approximate location (to within a few miles). We hold this data on the Lawful Basis of ‘Legitimate Interest’ to enable us to analyse our marketing and geographical range with the aim of increasing our audience sizes and experience. To obtain the data above, MailChimp uses tracking techniques, including cookies, which are clearly described in the MailChimp Privacy Policy, Terms and Cookie Statement. 3 Every email sent via the Mail Chimp service contains a clear link to allow recipients to unsubscribe. This can also be done via our website. Because of this we will only seek re-confirmation of consent if we have no record of a subscriber ordering tickets in the previous 5 years. Lack of a response will result in the email address being unsubscribed. All requests to unsubscribe will be actioned immediately and no further emails sent. Historic data for email addresses unsubscribed by us or by the subscriber will be deleted within 6 months. Data in the General Mailing List (and its backup) will be held securely and will only be disclosed to committee members of Midland Players for the purposes above and to data subjects themselves in response to data subject access requests. 4 The email addresses and consent indicators will be periodically backed up into secure cloud storage from a supplier compliant with UK and EU law.
