Types of information we collect

“Personal Information” means information that can be used to personally identify you, such as your name, age or date of birth, gender, telephone number, address, email address, photographs or videos where you are personally identifiable, and in some circumstances financial information such as your credit card, direct debit or Paypal account information. If the information we collect personally identifies you or you are reasonably identifiable from it, the information will be considered Personal Information.

‘Usage Information’ means anonymous aggregate data that is automatically collected through your use of the Website. This includes information that identifies your device, your operating system, your IP address and dates and times that you access and use the Website.

We recognise that Usage Information, whilst for the most part anonymous, can be cumulatively used to directly or indirectly identify you. Usage Information that can be used to identify you in any way, together with your Personal Information, shall collectively be referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Personal Data”.

How we collect your Personal Data

We collect your Personal Data directly from you, unless it is unreasonable or impractical to do so.

We do this in a number of ways, including:

when you contact us by email, telephone or in writing; and
when you fill out a form on our Website when completing an application or order;
when you purchase a ticket, register for event access, transfer ticket registration or are registered as the recipient of a transferred ticket in respect of Grapevine Gathering or one of our events via one of our third-party ticket merchants or ticket resale merchants;
recording or photographing you at Grapevine Gathering or one of our events.

It is your choice to provide information to us. Wherever it is lawful and practicable, you have the option not to identify yourself when interacting with us. Please be aware that it is necessary for us to collect your Personal Data to enable us to process transactions. As such, if you do not wish to provide your Personal Data, we may not be able to accommodate your order.

We may also collect Personal Data from third parties including our contractors and business partners, advertisers, mailing lists, recruitment agencies and government entities.

Cookies hold specific information that helps the Website ‘remember’ your actions and preferences over time.

Cookies can stay on your device temporarily (Session Cookies) or until you manually delete them (Persistent Cookies). Data collected by Cookies does not identify you, but it does identify your device. Where such data can be cumulatively used to personally identify you, we will seek your consent to collect and process such information. You can disable Cookies at any time in your browser. If you disable Cookies, we cannot guarantee that the Website will be fully functional.
