A Brief Summary of why we Need your Data

As a booking agent, we, of course, need customer's personal data in order to fulfil a booking. Generally, this would only be the name, email address and phone number plus the delivery address if you order a gift pack. When a customer chooses to book a date, the information they provide us is passed to the supplier running the event in order to complete the booking and send the tickets/confirmation.

Customers who give us permission are referred to as 'opt-in' customers. It's important to know that you can opt out of receiving emails by clicking the 'unsubscribe' link present in any of our marketing emails.
