For example, we may aggregate your usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Website feature or functionality. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Service Providers
Our service providers provide us with a variety of administrative, statistical, and technical services. We will only provide our service providers with the minimum amount of personal data they need to fulfil the services we request, and we endeavour to ensure that they protect this data and do not use it for any other purpose. We take these relationships seriously and aim to ensure that all of our service providers who process personal data on our behalf act on our written instructions, setting out their commitment to comply with applicable data protection laws and to assist us with our duties in respect of your exercise of your applicable data subject rights.
9. Links to third party sites
This Privacy Policy only applies to personal data processed by us through your use of our Website and/or in connection with our business operations. However, from time to time, our Website may contain links to third-party websites and services, such as video or music streaming platforms, social media platforms, or retailers selling our merchandise and event tickets. We have no control over these websites and services and this Privacy Policy does not apply to your interaction with these third parties.
Where we provide links to third party websites, plug-ins and applications on the Website that are not affiliated with us (for example YouTube for viewing content and third parties for gaming), such third-party sites are out of our control and are not covered by this Privacy Policy, even if you do not leave our Website.
If you access a third-party site using the links provided, the operators of these sites may collect personal data from you that could be used by them, in accordance with their own privacy policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to those sites.
10. Your rights
As a data subject, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. Below, we have described the various rights that you have, as well as how you can exercise them. These rights can be exercised at any time by contacting us – see the “Contact Details” section below.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee:
(i) if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive; or
(ii) if your request requires us to deliver any data under a ‘non-standard’ format for which we may charge any third-party costs we incur as a result of fulfilling your request. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
Your right to request access
If you ask us, we will confirm whether we are processing your personal data and, if so, provide you with a copy of that personal data (along with certain other details). You may have heard of this right being described as a "subject access request". If you require additional copies, we may charge a reasonable fee for producing those additional copies.
Please note that this right entitles you to receive a copy of the personal data that we hold about you. It is not a right to request personal data about other people, or a right to request specific documents from us that do not relate to your personal data.
Your right to rectification and erasure
You may, at any time, request that we correct personal data that we hold about you which you believe is incorrect or inaccurate. You may also ask us to erase personal data if you do not believe that we need to continue retaining it (you may have heard of this right described as the “right to be forgotten”).
Please note that we may ask you to verify any new data that you provide to us and may take our own steps to check that the new data you have supplied us with is right. Further, we are not always obliged to erase personal data when asked to do so; if for any reason we believe that we have a good legal reason to continue processing personal data that you ask us to erase we will tell you what that reason is at the time we respond to the request.
Your right to restrict processing
Where we process your personal data on the basis of a legitimate interest, you are entitled to ask us to stop processing it if you feel that our continuing to do so impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms or if you feel that those legitimate interests are not valid.
You may also ask us to stop processing your personal data: (a) if you dispute the accuracy of that personal data and want us to verify that data's accuracy; (b) where it has been established that our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where we no longer need to process your personal data (and would otherwise dispose of it) but you wish for us to continue storing it in order to enable you to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Please note that if for any reason we believe that we have a good legal reason to continue processing personal data that you ask us to stop processing, we will explain that reason, either at the time we first respond to the request or after we have had the opportunity to consider and investigate it.
Your right to portability
Under certain circumstances, where you wish to transfer certain personal data that we hold about you, which is processed by automated means, to a third party, you may write to us and ask us to provide it to you in a commonly used machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Your right to object to processing
You may object to processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interest (or those of a third party) for processing that personal data and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. We will comply with your request unless we have a compelling overriding legitimate interest for processing or we need to continue processing your personal data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
Your right to withdraw consent
Where our processing of your data is on the basis of your consent, you can withdraw this consent at any time. This would not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on consent prior to the withdrawal. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain content or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
Your rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision when it is based on automatic processing, including profiling, if it produces a legal effect or similarly significantly affects you, unless such profiling is necessary for the entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us
Your right to lodge a complaint to the supervisory authority
If you have a concern about any aspect of our privacy practices, including the way we have handled your personal data, please contact us using the contact details provided in the contact page.
