We do not give out, sell or trade our mailing list data with third parties. The information you provide will be used primarily to protect your purchases and attendance at events and also keep you informed about the activities of Thames Festival Trust.
We will use the information that we collect about you in accordance with:
Mailing list: As part of the registration process for our mailing list, we collect personal information, which includes:
The data we hold may be used by us for the following purposes:
We don't rent or trade mailing lists with other organisations and businesses.
We use a third-party provider, Mailchimp to deliver our newsletter.

Ticketing Data: When you purchase a ticket/s online for one of our events through the Totally Thames website you will be directed to a third-party booking system to complete your ticket transaction. As part of this transaction you will be asked for your name, address, email and contact number. We do not store any of this data and will only use your name and email address to keep you informed of your upcoming booking.
We do not share your personal details with any other company without your consent.
Thames Festival Trust may share anonymised personal information with other organisations, particularly Arts Council England, who use this to analyse our audience development programmes, ticket sales and self-generated funding to understand the impact of the public investment made in Thames Festival Trust.
Many of the events at Thames Festival Trust are presented in partnership with other artistic organisations and promoters. We will let them know about your booking and share your name and postcode, but we would not share any other contact details, sensitive information or your payment details.

There are two main types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies.
Session cookies are removed from your computer when you close your browser and are mainly used, for example, to store information about the items in your shopping basket.
Conversely, persistent cookies remain stored on your computer until they are deleted or they reach their expiry date. This type of cookie is often used to anonymously track your activity on a website so the website owner can analyse the data to see if there are ways they can improve their website.
There are many reasons why a website may use cookies, however, the important thing to know about them is they are harmless.
Like every other website on the Internet, we also use cookies. We mainly use them to help us understand how our website is performing. We certainly do not store any personal information, like your name or address. As there are only a few cookies used on this website, we have listed them all here.
