What personal data is collected from you?
Personal data
Under the Data Protection Laws, personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

When you:

  • visit our website;
  • create and place an order;
  • sign up to create an account or log in to your account;
  • when you subscribe to SunClash Magazine newsletter or to mailing lists on SunClash festival guides; or
  • when you send a email, phone or online request to our customer service team;

we will collect certain identity and contact data such as:

  • First name and surname
  • Email address
  • Postal address
  • Phone
  • Gender
  • Date of birth
  • Nationality
  • Photo ID e.g passport or driver’s licence

When you browse our website, we automatically collect identifiers such as cookies and IP addresses and other technical data, such as browser type and version and operating system and platform, location data and login data, as well as usage data including information about how you use our website, products and services.

When you make a booking with us, our third party payment provider will collect your transaction data including the details of the purchases of festival packages or festival tickets that you make on our site, including your payment details – bank account and payment card.

We may also ask you for personal data when you enter a competition or promotion sponsored by SunClash.com

We may also ask you to complete surveys that we use for research purposes only, although you do not have to respond to them, and we will ask for you to provide personal data when you submit the survey.

If you contact us through our customer services department, we may keep a record of that correspondence as well as the identity and contact data that you provide to us.

If you tell us that you have a health concern or reduction in mobility that could affect your festival experience, we will ask you for details. We will ask for your explicit consent to collect and process this data.

We may collect technical data about your computer, including (where available) your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and for compiling aggregated (statistical) data. Aggregated data about our user’s browsing actions and patterns does not identify any individual and so is not considered personal data in law. However if we combined 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 used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

International transfers
When we share data with partners (see section “Who we need to share your personal data with?”), the data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of the European Economic Area (‘EEA’). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your bookings, the processing of your payment details, the provision of support services including marketing services.

Whenever we transfer your personal data outside of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
  • Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

Please email us at SunClash.com if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

Data Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted. Certain parts of our site are password protected and where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access such parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential and you must not share it with any other person or service.

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

How long is my personal data stored for?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available in our retention policy which you can request from us by contacting us at SunClash.com

Your legal rights
Your rights under the Data Protection Laws in relation to your personal data include (but are not limited to) the following:

You have the legal right to ask us to supply you with a copy of the personal data that we hold about you at any time free of charge. This could include booking information relating to your festival tickets or festival packages that you have booked with us. Further copies may incur a reasonable fee and also if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive (we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances).

You can also ask us to rectify any errors in your personal data or complete any incomplete data that we hold or you can update your own details at any time by accessing your online account.

Where you have given your consent to our processing of your data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. If you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal ground for us to process your data, you can ask us to erase your personal data. You can also require us to erase your data if we have processed your data unlawfully or if the law requires us to erase your data. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

You may also restrict the processing of your data: This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data if: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

You may request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, 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.
