2. Collecting your personal information

For example, individuals can purchase tickets by the following methods: over the phone by calling our box office; or in person at our box office; or online through our website. Apart from the collection of personal information through ticket sales, Strut and Fret will also collect personal information over the phone, in person or by other means of electronic correspondence such as email or fax to undertake our daily artistic and administrative operations. Personal information includes information and opinions that can identify an individual.
3. Why Strut and Fret needs to collect personal information
Strut and Fret will need to collect your personal information for a number of different reasons once again, dependent on the kind of dealings you may have with us. For example, Strut and Fret may need more information about you when you buy a ticket so we can notify you in the case of changes in date or time of a performance, to send out information about upcoming Strut and Fret performances and also for market research purposes. At any time you can inform us if you do not want your information used for direct marketing or research purposes. All you have to do is contact the Strut and Fret, details are given in clause 16 and clause 6.
4. Use and disclosure of your personal information
Strut and Fret treats its obligations with respect to the use and disclosure of personal information very seriously. In general, we will only use or disclose personal information for the primary purpose that it was collected or for a purpose related to the primary purpose that you would reasonably expect it to be used. For example, we may use your information to contact you about a change in the time of a production. If Strut and Fret wishes to disclose your information to a third party it will obtain your consent to do so. However, there may be certain exceptional circumstances that will warrant not obtaining your consent such as circumstances where: Strut and Fret needs to use or disclose personal information where it believes the use or disclosure is necessary to protect any person and/or any Strut and Fret rights or property; or if the use or disclosure of personal information is authorised or required by law (such as if Strut and Fret is required to disclose personal information to a court in response to a subpoena). For situations where Strut and Fret collects personal information from individuals who are “non customers”, we will only use the personal information for the main business purpose that it was collected. For example, we may have the contact details of an individual (such as a mobile or email address) who is our “point of contact” within an organisation with which we do business.
5. Disclosure and other organisations or third-party individuals
Strut and Fret will not sell, rent, trade or otherwise supply to third parties any personal information obtained from you unless you consent. However, Strut and Fret may disclose personal information about you in some circumstances including where contractors and service providers help us operate our business or provide a service such as: a company which helps us to operate our computer systems (whose contact details can be obtained from Strut and Fret); or contractors who assist us to send out our mail (whose contact details can be obtained from the Strut and Fret) or circumstances where the individual would reasonably expect personal information to be disclosed (for example, if those third parties are directly involved in the collaboration of a Strut and Fret Production for which the personal information was collected). If Strut and Fret provides your personal information to promoters, or engages contractors and service providers to handle personal information, we require these organisations or individuals to agree to comply with our Privacy Policy and with strict conditions governing how personal information is to be handled. Otherwise, Strut and Fret will only disclose personal information if this is required by law or permitted under the Privacy Act. The customer is given the opportunity to “opt out” of receiving further material the first time that they receive marketing material in the mail (for details of how to “opt out” contact Strut and Fret (contact details in clause 16)).
6. Direct Marketing
Strut and Fret will send direct marketing material to you in situations where: the direct marketing material is directly related to the primary purpose that the information was originally collected (for example a ticket buyer who has purchased tickets to Strut and Fret events will receive direct marketing material about future Strut and Fret events); or it would be in an individual’s reasonable expectations to receive direct marketing material (for example, the above ticket buyer may at times receive information about related events). At any time an individual can choose to no longer receive marketing material. On all direct marketing whether its form be electronic or print, there will be a notice on the material giving the individual the opportunity to “opt out” of receiving further material. However, because of the sensitivity of online bookings, for any online collection of personal information, we will ask for your direct consent before sending out direct marketing material. If you no longer wish to receive promotional information from Strut and Fret please advise Strut and Fret by email: info@strutnfret.com. You will need to allow us 30 days to amend our records.
