WHO WE ARE

Liverpool Philharmonic is one of the UK’s premier music organisations and a registered charity. Our principal funders are Arts Council England and Liverpool City Council. We generate more than two thirds of our income through other sources, including box office sales, orchestral engagements, broadcasts and recordings, hires of our venues and associated secondary spend (on services such as bars and programmes), commercial partnerships, trusts and foundations, sponsorship and individual donations.

We are the UK’s oldest continuing professional symphony orchestra, the award-winning Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 1840, and run an extensive learning programme that is a national leader in its field. We present over 400 events each year at our home, Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, our Music Room – our specialist space for more intimate performances - and other city venues including St. George’s Hall Concert Room. Our wide- ranging programme includes classical, rock, pop, folk and roots music, comedy, films and spoken word events.

Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society is a charity registered in England (registered charity number 230538), a company limited by guarantee (registered in England number 88235).

Sensitive personal information

Data Protection law recognises that certain categories of personal information are more sensitive. On occasion, we may collect sensitive classes of information but these will only be collected with your explicit consent and when we have a clear reason for doing so.

We may collect information regarding any registered disability in order to ensure you have best experience possible. We have a free  Access Scheme and by storing your details as part of this scheme, we are able to offer consistency and support for your attendance here.

We may use sensitive data to monitor and better understand our audiences. Where this is the

case, any data will be anonymised before processing.

 

Wealth screening

It is not our intention to use your data for wealth screening purposes. However, should we decide to undergo any analysis of your data in the future to measure affluence using external screening/profiling companies and publicly available data, we will inform you and give you the opportunity to opt-out.

 

HOW WE MANAGE AND PROTECT YOUR DATA

Personal data is held and processed on Liverpool Philharmonic systems, or systems managed on our behalf. Access to personal information is strictly controlled and accessible only to people who require this to complete their job.

We only collect the data that is required to deliver the service requested and some additional information that we use to carry out legitimate business interests.

Our computer network is protected and our systems regularly reviewed to ensure security processes are in place, including restricted access folders and password protection.

 

Where another company is processing data on our behalf, they will have entered into an agreement with us to ensure they comply with our data security policy and the legislation set out in GDPR.

When you book a ticket to an event or make a donation, your data is stored on our central CRM

system. Where possible, this is held within a single record for each customer.

HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

We aim to be as clear as possible when we collect your data and only use it in ways you might reasonably expect.

We may process it because it is necessary for the performance of a contract, for example to manage ticket purchases, administration and fulfilment of membership schemes, when you sign up for an event, or give a donation.

We may process it because it is within our legitimate interests to do so, for example:

     To enable us to tailor our communications to provide you with the most relevant information

         To enhance your experience at an event

         To analyse our audience base and improve our processes

     To invite you to take part in research, surveys, focus groups etc to understand your opinions about our activities and improve our service

         To understand your reasons for supporting us with a donation

         To enable us to meet your support needs

         To meet our statutory responsibilities and best practice around safeguarding etc

 

We may also process your personal data (including sensitive personal data) where:

         it is necessary for medical purposes (for example, in a medical emergency)

         it is necessary to protect your or another person’s vital interests (for example, if it is

necessary to process a parent's data to protect the vital interests of a child)

     we have your consent to do so (for example to monitor the diversity of visitors to Liverpool Philharmonic Hall). We will also ask for your consent to provide you with information about products and services and fundraising activities which may be of interest to you (apart from where it is appropriate for us to rely on our legitimate interests to do so).

We also use images and video from Liverpool Philharmonic events for promotional activities. We will seek consent for prominent or impactful use (or for any images of children). Group shots, background inclusion or internal use may be processed on a legitimate interest basis where it would not be necessary, appropriate or practicable to obtain your specific consent.

 

Retention of your information

We may retain your information for a period of up to seven years after your association with us has come to an end.

Some information may be retained beyond this time for historical, statistical or research purposes.

 

THIRD PARTIES

We value and protect all the information you supply to us, and we do not sell, rent or trade personal information to third parties for any purpose.

We may need to disclose your details to third parties in the following circumstances:

     If we are running an event in partnership with another organisation – we will only share this information with your explicit consent, and they will be named at the point of consent

     In order to comply with any legal obligations, eg the police, regulatory bodies and crime protection agencies

         To our legal advisors

         For the purposes of regulatory or inspection compliance, for example to the Charity

Commission

     To funding bodies, particularly Arts Council England, who may use anonymised personal information to analyse our audience and understand the impact of the public investment made in Liverpool Philharmonic

     Data processing services acting in an accordance with our instructions, and subject to confidentiality obligations

     Service providers acting on our behalf, eg processing card payments, mailing houses, website hosting, email delivery services – these providers will have confirmed our confidentiality agreements and be working in compliance with GDPR

         In the event of a safeguarding disclosure or concern

         To enable us to meet the support needs of programme participants

 

Any suppliers outside of the EEA will be required to agree to the privacy policies as outlined within GDPR.

 

YOU MANAGE YOUR DATA

We make it easy for you to tell us how you want to hear from us – you can log in to  your account on our website, or you can tell our Box Office over the phone (0151 709 3789) or in person.

We will give you the option to opt out of our marketing communications at any time – every email sent will tell you how to do this.

If you have opted out of marketing communications, we may still contact you, but this will only be with information specific to your booking – eg pre and post-concert information, or notification of any changes.

 

YOUR RIGHTS

If you no longer want us to use or process your data, you can opt out using the unsubscribe link in any of our emails, by updating your preferences at any time by logging into  your account on liverpoolphil.com, or by contacting a member of our Box Office team on 0151 709 3789.

You also have the following rights:

     You have the right to be forgotten – we will remove all the personal information we hold on you

         You have the right to have the information we hold on you corrected – please let us know

if you have any concerns or queries around the accuracy of the data we hold
