Who we are
LondonsEvents (londonsevents.com) is an online guide to events in London, covering gigs, theatre, festivals, exhibitions and things to do across the city. This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use our website, why we collect it, and what rights you have.
For the purposes of UK data protection law, LondonsEvents is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. You can reach us using the contact form on our Contact page.
What data we collect
We collect only what we need to run the site and reply to you:
- Contact form submissions. If you message us through our contact form, we receive the name, email address and message content you provide.
- Server logs. Our hosting provider automatically records technical information such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, requested URL and the time of your visit.
- Cookies and analytics data. If you accept optional cookies, we may receive information about how you use the site, such as pages viewed and links clicked.
- Affiliate tracking data. When you click an affiliate link, our partner may record the referral so any resulting purchase is attributed to us.
We do not ask for special category data, and we do not take payments on this website.
Why we use your data
We use personal data to respond to enquiries you send us; to operate, secure and maintain the website; to understand how the site is used so we can improve our content and recommendations; and to track referrals to affiliate partners so we can be credited for qualifying purchases.
Our lawful bases are our legitimate interests in running and improving a useful events guide and in responding to enquiries, and your consent where we use optional analytics or affiliate cookies.
Cookies
Essential cookies are needed for the site to function, for example to keep the site secure and to remember your cookie choices. These are always active.
Optional cookies include analytics cookies, which help us see which pages are popular, and affiliate or advertising cookies set by our partners when you click through to a ticket seller or travel platform. Those partners set their own cookies under their own privacy policies. You can refuse or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; blocking affiliate cookies will not stop you buying tickets, it simply means we will not be credited for the referral.
Sharing your data
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with our hosting provider and other technical service providers who keep the site running; analytics providers, where optional analytics cookies are in use; affiliate networks and merchants, which receive referral data when you click their links; and anyone we are legally required to disclose information to.
Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where that happens, we expect appropriate safeguards such as UK adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses to be in place.
Retention
Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and to keep a reasonable record of correspondence, after which they are deleted. Server logs are typically retained for a short period by our host for security and troubleshooting. Analytics data is retained in aggregated or pseudonymised form.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS and we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse or unauthorised access. No website can be completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security of information sent over the internet.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- have inaccurate data corrected;
- ask us to erase your data or restrict how we use it;
- object to processing based on our legitimate interests;
- request a portable copy of data you gave us;
- withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our Contact page. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
External links
Our pages link to third-party websites, including ticket sellers and travel platforms. Once you leave londonsevents.com, this policy no longer applies and the privacy policy of the site you visit will govern how your data is handled.
Children’s privacy
This website is not aimed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to the site or to the law. The date below shows when it was last revised.
