5.2.4 Standards of technology and operational security

We have implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect your Personal Data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised alteration or destruction.  We will notify you promptly in the event of any breach of your Personal Data which might expose you to serious risk.

5.5 WHAT DATA DO WE COLLECT, HOW & WHY

 

5.5.1

We are determined to protect your privacy and we strive to keep all information relating to you confidential in accordance with this Privacy Policy.  It is very important to us that you should be able to use and enjoy our Music, Store, Website, e-Newsletters, Social Media, etc. without having to unacceptably compromise your privacy.

 

The following states our principles and covers what data we collect, for what purposes and upon what legal basis, as well as how we process or use the information that we hold. Sometimes  you may voluntarily provide us with information (“Personal Data”) as part of the normal operation of our services, and that is covered by this Privacy Policy too.

 

5.5.2 Information and Age of Consent.

We do not collect or process children’s Personal Data. If you are aged 12 years old or under, you will need your parent/guardian’s permission before you provide any personal information to Farran Music Ltd. We ask for confirmation of your age when you sign up to receive our e-Newsletters or purchase tickets.

 

5.5.3 Our privacy and data protection principles:

• We do not sell, rent or otherwise distribute or make public any personal information.

• We do not spam or contact you without good reason or without your consent.

• We process data lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner.

• We collect information for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and do not further process it in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes.

• The information we collect is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed.

• We aim to ensure information is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; reasonable steps are taken to ensure that Personal Data that is inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which it is processed, is erased or rectified without undue delay.

• We keep information in a form that permits identification of you, as a Data Subject, for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which your Personal Data is processed.

• We process information in a manner that ensures appropriate security of your Personal Data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.

 

5.5.4 We collect your information in different ways outlined in these bullet points, which are explained in the sections that follow below:

• Our website farranmusic.com through Google Analytics (GA) & Cookies

• Contact Form or Contact Buttons on our Website

• Direct e-mail through hello@farranmusic.com 

• e-Newsletters or e-shot marketing (WIX ‘Shout Out’)

• e-Store & Audio Downloads (WIX Store & WIX Music)

• Applications or CVs

• Contests or competitions we may run

• Social Media sites and apps, such as:

  • Facebook

  • Instagram

  • Twitter

  • YouTube

• Third Party Services, such as:​

  • Bitly.com

  • Wix.com & Shout Out

  • Google Analytics (GA)

 

5.5.5 Website

If you are visiting our Website and viewing pages, we do not collect any Personal Data that identifies you as an individual. However, our website farranmusic.com may automatically collect non-identifier information about your visits, such as browsing patterns or whether you are using a computer, smartphone, tablet or other device. Information collected in this way does not reveal who you are or disclose to us any Personal Data. This information is used only in aggregate form to analyse, manage and develop the Website and is not linked directly to you or any individual. This is called Site Visitation Tracking and is carried out through Google Analytics using Cookies.

 

5.5.6 Site Visitation Tracking & Google Analytics (GA)

Like most websites, our Website uses Google Analytics (GA) to track your interactions as a site user. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to establish the number of site visits from different countries and which pages of our site are most visited for how long, to better understand how our web pages are found and used and to track a site visitor’s journey through our site. The reason is to enable us to improve the usability and content and your user experience of the site.

 

Although GA records such data as well as your approximate geographical location, type of device you use (computer, smartphone, tablet) and the day of the week and time of day you access our site, your internet browser (e.g. Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, etc.) and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. However this information helps us to make technical, design and content decisions such as language translation in order to deliver a site that works well for you.

 

We retain this type of data indefinitely for as long as we feel it proves useful to manage and improve web content and services. The Data Protection Laws allow us to collect and process this data as there is a legitimate interest in doing so.

 

GA also records your computer’s IP address (a number that identifies a specific network device on the internet and is required for your device to communicate with websites) which could be used to personally identify you. However, Google does not grant us access to this. It could be used if necessary to block disruptive or illegal use of our site. We consider Google to be a Third Party Data Processor (see Third Party Services below).

 

For your information, our website uses the Wix.com implementation of GA.

 

GA makes use of Cookies, details of which can be found on Google’s developer guides.

 

Google's use of your information is governed by Google's Privacy Policy, which has recently been updated to comply with EU GDPR. Please read Google's Privacy Policy.

 

5.5.7 Cookies

When you visit the site, we may send one or more Cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer, smartphone or tablet that uniquely identifies your web browser. Your browser sends these Cookies back to the website every time you visit the site again, so it can recognise you and can then tailor what you see on your screen. As mentioned above, a Cookie may also convey information to us about how you browse our site. A Cookie does not collect personal information about you.

 

A persistent Cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser. Persistent Cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent Cookies can be removed or cleared by following your web browser’s instructions in Settings. A Session Cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser.

 

Most of the largest and most-visited websites use Cookies by default, so Cookies are almost unavoidable. Even search settings require Cookies for language settings.

 

You can set your web browser settings to refuse or disable all Cookies or to indicate to you when a Cookie is being sent. However some features of our site may not function as well if the ability to accept Cookies is disabled. If you do decide to disable or delete Cookies altogether, some websites won’t work as well because they rely on Cookies to provide you with a service you have requested. Disabling Cookies may lock you out of many of the most widely-used sites on the internet like YouTube, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and others.

 

By continuing to use our Website, you agree to us and third party organisations using Cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) to use Cookies in line with your Cookie settings in your browser.

 

Our Cookies Notice appears at the top of our Website. Here is a link to further more detailed information on Cookies – https://www.aboutcookies.org.

 

5.5.8 Our Website’s server

Our Website is hosted by Wix.com in data centres in the United States and Europe. From time to time, we may transfer hosting from one location to another. Notwithstanding the above, the Wix.com platform complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US privacy shield framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce, regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union to the United States, and therefore adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles.

 

The Wix.com platform is compliant with the Data Protection Laws. All traffic (transferral of files) between our Website and your browser is encrypted and delivered over HTTPS. HTTPS means ‘Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure’. This type of security means that information sent between computers is in ‘code’ and scrambled, using that code so that no one in between can read what is conveyed between computers. This keeps your information safe from hackers.

 

You agree that your Personal Data may be transferred to countries outside the EU for the purposes described above to countries which may or may not provide the equivalent legal protection of Personal Data as within the United Kingdom. If you do not wish your Personal Data to be used in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy or the Conditions, please do not use our Website.

 

5.5.9 Contact Form or Buttons on our Website.

You may have a request or enquiry and choose to contact us using a Contact Form or Buttons on our Contact Us page. If you do, none of the data that you supply will be stored by this website.

 

Instead, the data will be collated into an e-mail and sent to us over the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL) meaning that the e-mail content is encrypted before being sent across the internet. The e-mail arrives in one of our inboxes and content is then decrypted by our local computers and devices.

 

Your Personal Data in this type of e-mail is your e-mail address, name, date and time of sending and any other information you included, which is held securely. We do not share it or pass it on to any Third Parties, only if necessary with those staff, associates, partners or suppliers working with Farran Music Ltd and only for the purposes of handling your request or enquiry or resolving any issue. Your Personal Data are held indefinitely for as long as Farran Music Ltd continue or we operate. We reserve the right to archive or delete this type of e-mail containing your Personal Data at a time we choose without contacting you and without your consent.

 

5.5.10 Direct E-mails.

You may e-mail us direct and provide us voluntarily with your e-mail address, name and any other information you choose to include in your e-mail. If you e-mail us, we do not need your consent to e-mail you because e-mail correspondence enables us to:

• deal with your requests and enquiries,

• contact you with information about our services ore events,

• notify you of any changes to any of our events as a customer of ours,

• notify you of any changes of practices or policies or terms and conditions, and

• receive any applications, or CVs, you submit to us to supply us services, apply for a job or volunteer or apply for Accessible Access to our events.

 

If you are a customer of ours (i.e. you have purchased music, merchandise or any of our services or products) we may send you customer service e-mails and event-related notices to provide you customer support, including any notices required by law in lieu of communication by postal mail, or we may send you feedback or market research surveys to help us improve and customise our events, products and services.

 

The Data Protection Laws allow us to e-mail you for these purposes without explicitly requiring your consent, because the processing of your personal information is for your and our legitimate interests, as you are a customer or enquirer; or because processing is necessary because we have a contract with you (e.g. when you buy a ticket, we enter into a ‘contract’ with you as our customer); or because we need to take specific steps before entering into a contract such as you becoming a supplier, partner, employee, sponsor, volunteer or we provide you access to Accessible Viewing Areas or a Carer Ticket at any of our events.

 

We also may use your e-mail address to send you Important Information relating to events and services, such as security or safety notices or warnings, cancellations or delays or changes to programming of events.

 

If you correspond with us by e-mail, we process and retain your Personal Data and the content of your e-mail messages and attachments, and our responses. Our E-mail Systems and Customer Database securely store your Personal Data which is held indefinitely or for as long as Farran Music Ltd operates.

 

We reserve the right to archive or delete these types of e-mail containing your Personal Data if and when we deem it no longer necessary to process it in our contract with you or when delivering our services to you, without contacting you and without your consent.

 

5.5.11 Control of your Personal Data – Direct e-mail

If you wish your Personal Data to be deleted or you wish to no longer correspond by Email with us, you may contact us via hello@farranmusic.com or by post to our Registered Address: Farran Music Ltd, Monometer House, Rectory Grove, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex SS9 2HN, England, U.K.

 

However, if you are a current customer with a valid ticket or pass to any of our events, your e-mail will not be deleted upon your request but held until after the event for which you hold a valid ticket or pass, and you may not opt out of Important Information emails. This is because it is in your interest to receive Important or customer support e-mails from us relating to an event you will attend, such as security or safety notices or warnings, cancellations or delays, refunds, or changes to line-ups.

 

5.5.12 E-mail Newsletter,  e-Newsletter and e-Shot Marketing

Subscribing to our e-Newsletter means you’re first to hear about announcements, news and updates about Farran Music Ltd, because these are delivered straight into your e-mail inbox. To receive our e-Newsletter or electronic communications marketing by e-mail, you must actively ‘opt in’ to subscribe. You can subscribe either directly by filling in the field in the footer of our Website.

​

When you actively opt in (select or tick a box or fill in the data field(s)), you give your consent for us to e-mail you marketing and promotional communications. You will see, near the data field or tick box, a clearly written notice of what you are subscribing to and confirmation that you are of an appropriate age to give consent to disclose your Personal Data to us (aged 13 years old or over).

 

If you choose to join our e-Newsletter mailings, the e-mail address that you submit to us will be stored on our Wix.com Website platform in our 'Shout Out' database, which we use for our e-mail marketing. WIX is a Third Party Data Processor.

 

The Personal Data that you submit is stored in our WIX Website’s database held securely on WIX.com servers located in data centres in the United States and Europe, not in any of our internal computer systems. The Wix.com platform complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US privacy shield framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce, regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union to the United States, and therefore adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles. 

 

When you consent to receiving our e-Newsletters and electronic marketing communications, you agree that your Personal Data may be transferred to countries outside the EU for the purposes described above. If you do not wish your Personal Data to be collected, stored and used as such, please unsubscribe from receiving e-Newsletters. You can unsubscribe using the ‘Unsubscribe’ links contained in any e-mail newsletter that we send you, or by requesting removal by e-mail to hello@farranmusic.com. 

 

Your Personal Data is only processed for sending you our e-Newsletters for which you have consented, and is neither processed for any other purpose nor shared with any other Data Controllers or Processors or Third Parties. Your Personal Data is held securely and remains in our WIX Website’s 'Shout Out' database for as long as we continue to use the WIX platform for e-mail marketing, for as long as Farran Music Ltd continues or we operate, or until you specifically request in writing removal from our list.

 

5.5.13 Information and Age of Consent

If you are 12 years of age or under, you MUST obtain parental consent before joining our e-mail newsletter. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children. If you are a parent or legal guardian and think your child has given us information, you can e-mail hello@farranmusic.com or write to us at our Registered Office address: Farran Music Ltd, Monometer House, Rectory Grove, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex SS9 2HN, England, U.K.

 

5.5.14 Control of your Personal Data – e-Newsletters

The Data Protection Laws allow us to collect and process your Personal Data because you gave clear and active consent for us to process your Personal Data for a specific purpose. You can unsubscribe using the ‘Unsubscribe’ links contained in any e-mail newsletter that we send you, or by requesting removal by e-mail to hello@farranmusic.com. When requesting removal via Direct E-mail, please send your e-mail to us from the e-mail account that is subscribed to the mailing list with the subject ‘Please unsubscribe me’ and be sure to include the e-mail address that you want removed in the body copy of your message.

 

5.5.15 Cookies, Pixel Tags and e-Newsletters

We may collect information on how you respond to our e-Newsletters, for example, whether you open the e-Newsletter or not, the number of times you open it or what links within the e-Newsletter that you click. This does not collect any Personal Data or identify you. However, it helps us understand what content interests you so that we can improve and tailor our communications to your interests and needs.

 

The information is collected by either Cookies or Pixel Tags (sometimes called Web Beacons). A Cookie is a string of alphanumeric characters within the code of the e-Newsletter. A Pixel Tag is an invisible image with a line of code which is placed within an email message, e-Newsletter or on a web page.

 

5.5.16 Control of Cookies or Pixel Tags in e-Newsletters

If you do not wish to allow us to use Cookies or Pixel Tags within our e-Newsletters, the best way to do this is not to enable images when you view our e-mails. In other words, only view the ‘plain text’ of the e-mail. Some web browsers, web-based e-mail and e-mail clients like Gmail have settings or extensions available to disable/block such Cookies. For example, some settings allow you to control whether ‘content stored on remote servers’ is displayed within your e-mails or not by un-ticking the ‘Load Remote Content’ box.

 

5.5.17 Social Media Sites and Apps

Please remember that any Personal Data that you disclose on Social Media becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose any information on Social Media. When you join and use Social Media, you submit your Personal Data to them. Your data submissions and interactions with Social Media are governed by their Privacy Policy and other policies, not ours. We are not developers and we do not buy access to your Personal Data or your Social Media accounts.

 

We use Social Media to communicate with you; promote our events, products and services; run competitions and prize draws; and market to prospective customers through targeted advertising. We use aggregated statistical data that does not personally identify you and other aggregated and/or inferred Non-Personal Data, which we or our contracted business partners may use, to provide and improve our events, products and services, marketing and communications.

​​

• Bitly.com: Bitly is a URL shortening and a link management service. We use Bitly to create short, manageable, tagged links (particularly good for Social Media where every character counts), and to use one link across all media. This helps us to ensure you arrive at the correct web page on our Website. The tags enable tracking and the service aggregates data that does not identify you, such as the number of people who click on a link, from what countries and from which media.  This helps us better understand your preferences so that we deliver the type of content you prefer in the media that you choose to use (e.g. e-Newsletters, Facebook or Twitter). None of this information personally identifies you to us. If you do not want your click on a Bitly link tracked, don’t click on the link.
