3. Reasons for collecting your personal information

We collect your personal information to enable us to provide you with the products, services and information you request. In particular, we may collect your personal information to:

In certain circumstances, we may also collect personal information about you in the course of combining and analysing different data sets which, in and of themselves, may not contain personal information.

If you do not provide us with your personal information, it is generally not possible for us to provide you with the products or services you have requested (for example, to issue you tickets to events). Where it is lawful and practical to do so, we may allow you to deal with us anonymously.

4. How do we collect personal information

Wherever possible, we always try to collect personal information directly from you – for example, when you:

  • become an email subscriber;
  • purchase performance tickets from us – either online, over the phone, or via one of our authorised channels;
  • use our website;
  • request information over the internet or telephone;
  • enter a competition run by us; or
  • correspond with us.
  • provide us with your personal information for another purpose, in person, by email, by phone or over the internet.

We may also obtain your personal information from third parties we deal with, such as:

  • event organisers, Promoters, performance companies, venues, sponsors and our business partners to whom you have provided your personal information; and
  • from time to time, providers of third party applications which collect and share information.

We may also collect personal information from third parties you refer to us. If we do so, we will assume, and you will ensure, that you have made that third party aware of the referral and the purpose(s) of the collection, use and disclosure of the relevant personal information. When you communicate with The Diamond Group through social media sites or using applications provided by third parties (such as via your smart phone), we may collect your personal information from that communication. We assume that you have informed yourself of the ways in which such sites or applications can collect and disclose your personal information, and that you otherwise consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information by such sites or applications (including disclosure to, and collection by, The Diamond Group).

We may also use your personal information to provide you with information about our products and services.

In addition, when you create an account  with us, and during many ticket transactions, we will also ask you whether you would like to receive news and offers from us and our Promoters. If you agree to receiving news and special offers information from The Diamond Group, you agree that we may send you marketing communications (including via social media). Your preference to receive or not receive marketing will continue to apply until changed by you.

6. Stopping marketing and promotional material from The Diamond Group
