We gather statistics around e-mail opening and clicks using industry standard technologies, currently our provider is Mailchimp, to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter.
We do not sell personal details to third parties for any purpose nor will we share your personal data from 25th May 2018 with any other organisations or promoters that have not been named in our privacy policy for their own marketing communications.
- How we keep your details safe and secure

We would only use this specific personal information should we need to contact you about a show that you have booked for, and providing anonymised data with regards to geographical location of ticket holders.
5.4 As part of the services offered to you through any of Little Wander Ltd’s websites, the personal information you provide may be transferred to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). By way of example, this may happen if any of the computer servers used to host our website are located in a country outside of the EEA. If Little Wander Ltd transfers your personal information outside of the EEA in this way, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outline in the privacy policy.

8.2 The log file records the time and date of your visit, the files that were requested, your IP (Internet Protocol) address, the referrer URL (if provided) and the browser version. We collect this information to help us diagnose problems and administer our systems and to audit the geographical make-up of users and how they have arrived at our site; that is, from what other sites have visitors arrived – this information being obtained from the referrer URL.
8.3 We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that you remain anonymous even though we include your IP address in our aggregate information.
