We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you or in relation to you which we have grouped together as follows:
- Identity Data including first name, last name, username, password, date of birth, address, email address and phone number. Where an Event Partner requires it to verify your nationality or homeclub support as a condition of ticket eligibility, this may also include identity documents such as a passport or national ID card. In addition we may collect the same information in relation to any contacts that you share with us.
- Technical Data including internet protocol (IP) address, login data, browser type and version, device identifiers, mobile device tokens, time zone setting and location, preferred language, browser plugin types and versions, device screen size, unique device identifiers, geographic location, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access our Platform.

- Transaction Data including details about payments to and from you (including via our payment partner, pre-November/December 2026 this is Opayo, and from November/December 2026 onwards Stripe) and other details of any services you have purchased from us. Note that we do not collect or store any card payment or other financial details outside of pure records of transaction (e.g. purchase history and amounts paid).
- Marketing and Communications Data including your preferences in receiving marketing from us and third parties and your marketing communication preferences.
We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. An example of Aggregated Data would be where we use your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Website feature. If the Aggregated Data is combined with other personal data to directly or indirectly identify you, we will treat this combined data as personal data and in accordance with this privacy notice.
Other than in respect of any accessibility or dietary requirement information (which we seek to obtain to ensure you have the best experience when attending events), we do not seek to collect your Special Category Data which means details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data; and personal data related to criminal offences or criminal records. If you do share Special Category Data with us, including in respect of accessibility requirements, this will be via your consent.

We may use specialist data enrichment providers to assist us with supplementing the data we hold on you with aggregated, anonymised lifestyle data. This helps us to understand your interests and preferences, so we can provide you with information which is likely to be most relevant to you and improve your experience of our products and services. When we receive information from other sources, we rely on them having the appropriate provisions in place telling you how they collect data and who they may share it with. We carefully check our sources to ensure that we only receive your information when it is lawful for us to do so.

6. This section is to explain how we will ensure that you only receive communications that you wish to receive.
Marketing communications
We want to ensure that you are informed and aware of the best events, promotions and our services that we can offer you. By consenting to receive additional communications (e.g. by email) from us and any named third parties that feature at the point of obtaining consent in respect of such information, we will process your personal data in accordance with this privacy notice.
If you have provided your consent to receive marketing communications from us and you change your mind, you can change your preferences and unsubscribe at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the materials (e.g. the ‘unsubscribe’ link in emails) or contacting us at enquiries@circuithospitality.com. Please note that we will action your request as soon as possible but it may take up to 10 days to update.
Service communications
As detailed above, we may send you communications such as those which relate to any service updates or provide customer satisfaction surveys. We consider that we can lawfully send these communications to you as we have a legitimate interest to do so, namely to effectively provide you with the best service we can and to grow our business.
This section is to explain who, within Circuit Hospitality, will have access to your data. Your personal data will only be seen or used by our employees or those engaged by us that have a legitimate business need to access your personal data for the purposes set out in this privacy notice.
We take your privacy seriously and have implemented appropriate physical, technical and organisational security measures designed to secure your personal data against accidental loss, destruction or damage and unauthorised access, use, alteration or disclosure.
This section will inform you of who we share your personal data with and why. Except as explained in this privacy notice, we will not share your personal data without your consent unless required to do so by law.
We may disclose your personal data to law enforcement agencies or court to the extent necessary for purposes including preventing, investigating, detecting, and prosecuting criminal offences; preventing threats to public security in accordance with applicable law; or validating a claim.
We may share your personal data with third parties who assist us with administering the provision of our services to you, including:
- companies within the Seat Unique group of which Circuit Hospitality is a part in order to provide our services, operate our business efficiently, or fulfil our contractual obligations to you. Certain services may be performed by other members of the Seat Unique group on our behalf. This may include: (i) order processing and fulfilment; (ii) ticket dispatch and delivery; (iii) customer support services; (iv) payment administration and finance operations; (v) IT, systems administration and hosting; and (vi) business reporting and analytics. They have access to personal data needed to perform their functions but may not use it for other purposes. These group companies may in turn engage their own third-party providers to help deliver these services, who will only be permitted to use your personal data to perform the relevant function on our behalf;
- business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you. This includes our Event Partners, so that they can run the event and fulfil any other processing purpose detailed within their own privacy notice. We will always name the Event Partners when you purchase a ticket and you will be given the option to subscribe to receive marketing from them. If you would like to understand more about our data sharing with Event Partners please do feel free to get in touch at enquiries@circuithospitality.com;
- analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our Platform; and
- agents we engage to perform functions on our behalf including sending customer communications, AI chatbot services, couriering and delivering tickets, providing ticket insurance, analysing data (including our third party data enrichment providers), providing marketing assistance, processing payments, hosting our IT infrastructure, researching customer satisfaction and providing customer service. They have access to personal data needed to perform their functions but may not use it for other purposes.
We may also pass Aggregated Data on the usage of our Platform (e.g. we might disclose the numbers of visitors to our Platform that come from different geographic areas) to third parties but this will not include information that can be used to identify you personally.
If a business transfer or change of business ownership takes place or is envisaged, we may transfer your personal data to the new owner (or a prospective new owner). If this happens, you will be informed of this transfer.
This section explains how we keep your personal data safe and where it will be held.
We take your privacy seriously and are committed to maintaining the privacy and security of the personal data you provide to us, and the choices you have regarding our collection and use of your personal data.
Once we have received your personal data, we follow strict security procedures as to how your personal data is stored and used, and who sees it, to help stop any unauthorised access.
The information that we collect from you may be stored at, and (if applicable) transferred to, a destination outside of the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area ( ). When we transfer your personal data outside of the United Kingdom and the EEA , we rely on UK adequacy regulations where they apply. Where they do not apply, we put in place appropriate safeguards, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses).
This section explains the length of time that we will retain your personal data.
We will keep your personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was obtained. The criteria for determining the duration for which we will retain your personal data are as follows:
- whether we maintain an ongoing relationship with you;
- whether we have a lawful purpose to process your personal data (e.g. any laws requiring us to keep transaction records for a certain time period before deleting them); and
- what the limitation period is under applicable law (i.e. any period during which any person could bring a legal claim against us in connection with your personal data, or to which your personal data may be relevant).
During the periods in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, we will restrict our processing of your personal data to the storage of, and maintaining the security of, those data, except to the extent that those data need to be reviewed in connection with any legal claim or obligation under applicable law.
After this period your personal data will be anonymised so that you are no longer identified or identifiable from such information.
Any third parties that we engage will keep your data stored on their systems for as long as is necessary to provide the relevant services to you or us. If we end our relationship with any third party providers, we will make sure that they securely delete or return your personal data to us.
We may retain personal data about you for statistical purposes. Where data is retained for statistical purposes, it will always be anonymised, meaning that you will not be identifiable from that data.
Under certain circumstances, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. There are circumstances in which your rights may not apply. You have the right to request that we:
- provide you with a copy of the information we hold about you;
- update any of your personal data if it is inaccurate or out of date;
- delete the personal data we hold about you – if we are providing services to you and you ask us to delete personal data we hold about you then we may be unable to continue providing those services to you;
- restrict the way in which we process your personal data;
- stop processing your data if you have valid objections to such processing; and ● transfer your personal data to a third party.

You can also write to the Data Protection Manager, Circuit Hospitality, Churchill Barn, The Street, Olveston, Bristol, BS35 4DR or call 01454 201210 and ask for a Subject Access Request form.
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.
As explained in the section on Communications above, even if you consented to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes (by ticking the relevant box or by requesting information about services), you have the right to ask us to stop processing your personal data for such purposes. You can exercise this right at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the materials (e.g. the ‘unsubscribe’ link in emails) or contacting us at enquiries@circuithospitality.com.
