What information do we collect?
We only collect the information we need to fulfill any service requests and submissions that you make and to analyse site usage information, from cookies and log files.
Email a Friend
When you select to 'Email a Friend' (sending event information to a friend), we ask for your and your friends email addresses and names. This information is used simply to enable us to fulfill your request and so that the person you're sending the information to knows who sent it. We do not store or maintain information obtained through this facility.
Newsletter Sign-up
In order to process your registration and in order to send out the email newsletters, we require your name and your email address along with your event category selection. This information is stored securely and is (like all of the other information we collect) never shared with any third parties. If at any time you choose to unsubscribe from the Plug and Play, your information is deleted from our records.
Event Submission
When you submit an event, we collect two types of information: personal and public. Personal information includes your name, email address and message for the administrator. This information is not made public or shared and is only ever used to process your event submission. The other information we collect is made publicly available and includes all of the event information, venue and location details as well as contact details for the event organiser. If you are putting someone else's contact details as the event organiser please obtain their permission first and make sure that they are aware their information will be made public. (Please read our Terms of Service for more information)

Feedback
We welcome your feedback. If you send an email or letter to us, asking for information, we may need to contact agencies and organisations to find that information. If your question is technical, we may need to pass it to our technology suppliers.
We do not pass on any of your personal information when dealing with your enquiry, unless you have given us permission to do so. Once we have replied to you, we keep a record of your message for six months for reference and audit purposes, after which it is deleted.
