Visiting our Website
Our website provider is Squarespace. Whilst they are based in the USA, they are GDPR compliant.
When visiting our website, your computer will usually provide us some general information about itself automatically that we will use to understand where people go on our site, how they found us, and the amount of time spent on the page. This information usually includes (but is not limited to):
· The IP Address of your computer on the Internet
· Operating System
· Browser type, version number and details of any components that you may have installed
· The referring web page
· The search terms you used (if any) to find our site
We also use the Google Analytics™ web analytics service to provide more detailed information about where our visitors go and how often they visit our site. To do this, we set a cookie that stores information such as:
· What time the current visit occurred
· Whether you have been to our site before
· What site referred you to our web page
· Details about your computer, browser, and components installed
· Your route through the site.
Unless you send us a Get in Touch form, the above information does not personally identify you even if you visit more than once.
Sending us a Message / Logging in to our Site
There is only one situation where more personally identifiable information is captured by us:
· Sending us a Get in Touch or hires enquiry form
With the Get in Touch forms, you are prompted to enter information about yourself including your name, telephone number and email address.
We do not have a log in to our website and so cannot collect any data that way.
Get in Touch Forms on our Website
Using the Get in Touch Forms on our website is similar to sending us an email. Our hosting company, Squarespace, sends the form via an email to the appropriate Imagine Theatre department, with all of the information you have entered as well as the IP-Address of your computer.
The Imagine Theatre department may forward this email to others within the company or outside of it (for example to one of our partner theatres) in order to be able to reply to your enquiry. We would only forward an enquiry on to an external partner if we felt it was of legitimate interest of the enquirer. This partner would always be GDPR compliant.
Social Media sites
If you like, comment or interact in any way with our pages on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, You Tube, Tumblr or Pinterest some of your personal information becomes available to us such as your name, username, handle and profile picture. We do not store this information anywhere, though it will still be available to us on the social media website. We do not use this information unless it is to get in contact with you directly to respond to your comment or interaction.
We also receive from Facebook, an aggregated view of how people interact with our Facebook Page and information about age, location and gender of people who are following us. This functionality is managed by Facebook. None of the information provided to us through this allows us to specifically identify any individuals.
On Twitter, we are able to see any information that you make available to other Twitter users - even if you are not following us - as this is controlled by Twitter.
