All personal information that we collect about you will be recorded, used, and protected by us in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and this privacy policy. We may supplement the information that you provide with other information that we obtain from our dealings with you or which we receive from other organisations, for example, our sponsors and partners.

We may use your data for the following purposes:

  • to administer and provide products and services you request or have expressed an interest in
  • to enable us to administer any competitions or other offers/promotions which you enter into
  • to communicate with you in the event that any products or services you have requested are unavailable
  • for fraud screening and prevention purposes

When we provide you with products or services we may collect and store any personal information that you provide to us. We may, for example, keep a record of your name, address, delivery address, email address, telephone number and payment card details. We may also record details of any disability or health needs you may have at the time of booking an event or service which will take place at the ground or out-ground, or any of our other premises to help to ensure your comfort and safety.

When you sign up with us for an online account, register to receive marketing communications from us (and/or our sponsors and partners), enter one of our competitions, fill in one of our forms (whether online or offline) or otherwise expressly provide us with your personal information, we may collect and store any personal information that you provide to us and may use it to personalise and improve your experience on our digital platforms, provide products and services you request from us, and carry out profiling and market research.

When you interact with our digital platforms, we may also automatically collect the following information about your visit. This is primarily to help us better understand how our fans use our digital platforms to enable us create better content and more relevant communications:

  • how you have reached our digital platform and the internet protocol (IP) address you have used
  • your browser type, versions and plug-ins, and your operating system
  • your journey through our digital platform, including which links you click on and any searches you made, how long you stayed on a page, and other page interaction information
  • which videos you have watched and for how long
  • what content you like or share
  • which adverts you saw and responded to
  • which pop up or push messages you might have seen and responded to
  • your subscription status
  • information collected in any forms you complete

We may also infer your country of location from the IP address you have used to access our digital platforms.

USING YOUR INFORMATION FOR RELEVANT MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION

  • If you have purchased a service from us, like a cricket membership, ticket or event for example, then we may use your contact details to inform you about other future events, relevant information, or special offers, which are pertinent to that service, or to conduct customer service pertinent to the product or service you have purchased
  • This applies whether you purchased goods or services online, over the phone or in-person at the venue
  • As a current or recent customer of one of our services, we have judged that such relevant communications will be in your best interests (i.e. the lawful basis for this purpose, under the Data Protection Laws, is ‘legitimate interest’)
  • Your personal information will be profiled in order to personalise our marketing communications so that they match your interest(s)
  • If at any time you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, you will always be given the opportunity to opt-out or unsubscribe from future communications from us. Should you do so, you will no longer receive communication from us.
