  - if you are not a client of our business but are someone who is involved in a project which we are managing on behalf of someone who is a client of our business, to help us manage that project as effectively and efficiently as possible;
  - to manage our relationship with you (whether you are our client, our former client, a non-executive director or consultant to our business, a promoter or supplier with whom we need to discuss matters concerning any client or former client, or a potential audience member for concerts which we promote).

  - credit reference agencies for the purpose of assessing your credit score where this is a condition of us entering into a contract with you.
- We will disclose Personal Data to third parties:
  - in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we will disclose your Personal Data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets;
  - if substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case Personal Data held by it about our clients will be one of the transferred assets; and
  - if we are under a duty to disclose or share your Personal Data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms and conditions and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of James Brown Management Limited, our clients, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
- We require all third parties to respect the security of your Personal Data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your Personal Data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your Personal Data for specified purposes and in accordance with our documented instructions.
  –
Where we store your Personal Data
- All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted.
- Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data transmitted to us; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
  –
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. 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 documented instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
- We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected ‘personal data breach’ (as defined in the GDPR) and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
  –
RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA
- We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected your Personal Data.
- 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 that 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.
- Further details of the period or periods for which we will retain your Personal Data are set out in our data retention policy, a copy of which is available on written request.
  –
Your rights
- Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:
  - Request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a ‘subject access request’). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  - Request correction of the Personal Data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  - Request erasure of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Data in certain other circumstances.
  - Object to processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.
  - Request the restriction of processing of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of Personal Data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  - Request the transfer of your Personal Data to another party.
- If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your Personal Data, object to the processing of your Personal Data, or request that we transfer a copy of your Personal Data to another person, please contact us using the details provided in paragraph 16
- 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 if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
- 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.
- We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may 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.
