Thisstage.co.uk belongs to This Stage Limited. It is This Stage Limited’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, This Stage Limited collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. This Stage Limited’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how This Stage Limited’s visitors use its website. From time to time, This Stage Limited may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

This Stage Limited also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on WordPress.com blogs. This Stage Limited only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to This Stage Limited’s websites choose to interact with This Stage Limited in ways that require This Stage Limited to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that This Stage Limited gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with This Stage Limited – by purchasing or reserving tickets for Show Off!, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions (which may include a name (real or made-up), email address, phone number, postal address, and any other information provided in the reservation form or via PayPal). In each case, This Stage Limited collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with This Stage Limited.

This Stage Limited does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities. Users are welcome to make reservations using pseudonyms: the reservation will be noted under the name that is given.

Aggregated Statistics

This Stage Limited may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. This Stage Limited may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, This Stage Limited does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

This Stage Limited discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on This Stage Limited’s behalf or to provide services available at This Stage Limited’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. None of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations is currently located outside of the European Economic Area. This Stage Limited will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, This Stage Limited discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when This Stage Limited believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of This Stage Limited, third parties or the public at large.

If you have opted in to any of our mailing lists, This Stage Limited may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with This Stage Limited and our productions. We primarily use our various websites and social media outlets to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. This Stage Limited takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
