1.6. We may link or combine the personal data we collect about you and the information we collect automatically. This allows us to provide you with a personalised experience regardless of how you interact with us.

1.7. We may anonymise and aggregate any of the personal data we collect (so that it does not directly identify you). We may use anonymised information for our business purposes including testing our IT systems, research, data analysis, improving the Service and developing new products and features. We may also share such anonymised information with others including, for example, event organisers.

2. Disclosures of your personal data

We may have to share your personal data with the following parties for the purposes set out as follows, as further detailed in Annex 1 and Annex 2:

2.1.1. Service providers and advisors. Personal data may be disclosed to third party vendors and other service providers that perform services for us, on our behalf, which may include identifying and serving targeted advertisements (for example, on Facebook and Twitter), providing payment, mailing or email services, tax and accounting services, data enhancement services, fraud prevention services, web hosting, and/or analytic services (such as Stripe, which provides us with payment services. As such, any payment information will be subject to Stripe’s privacy policy, which is available at stripe.com/gb/privacy).

2.1.2. Purchasers and third parties in connection with a business transaction. Personal data may be disclosed to third parties in connection with a transaction, such as a merger, sale of assets or shares, reorganisation, financing, change of control or acquisition of all or a portion of our business.

2.1.3. Law enforcement, regulators and other parties for legal reasons. Personal data may be disclosed to third parties as required by law or if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement; (b) to protect the security or integrity of the service; and/or (c) exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of users of the Service or others.

3. Retention periods

3.1. We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for (as set out in paragraph 2.1 above, and in Annex 1 and Annex 2 below), including for the purpose of satisfying and legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

3.2. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

3.3. In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data: see paragraph 5.2.4 below for further information.

3.4. In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

All personal data we collect will be stored on secure servers. All electronic transaction entered into via our Service will be protected by SSL encryption technology.

4.2. International Transfers of your Personal Data.
