The Model is committed to protecting your privacy. Our privacy statement below will inform you on how and why we store your personal data (‘your data’), what type of data we hold and how it is used. Should you have any questions about this Statement, please contact us (see below).

HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION

Your data is collected in the following ways, with your consent:

1. When purchasing tickets in person

When you purchase tickets, a membership or gift voucher through the Model Box Office in person, any personal data you supply, such as name, address and telephone number, will be stored in our Box Office system, TicketSolve. You may, of course, purchase a ticket (or tickets) without supplying your data.

2. When purchasing tickets on-line

When you purchase tickets online, purchase membership or gift vouchers, you will be asked to register with us. This involves submitting your name, address, phone number, email address or credit card details where applicable. This information is used to process your order and to provide you with the service you have requested.

If you have provided credit card details, these will only be used for the purpose of handling an individual booking or order. We will not retain details from your credit card.

Any personal data you supply will be stored in our Box Office system, TicketSolve.

3. When signing up to our newsletter on-line

Our website gives you the option to indicate if you wish to receive information from the Model. When you sign up for our e-newsletter online, your name and email address will be stored in our mailing list system. We use a US based company, mailchimp.com for our mailing list subscription service. By subscribing to our newsletter, you acknowledge that your information will be transferred to Mailchimp for processing. Learn more about Mailchimp's privacy practices here.

You can change your mind at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the footer of any email you receive from us, or by contacting us at info@themodel.ie. We will treat your information with respect.

4. Signing up to our mailing list in person

You can also sign up to our mailing list by completing the form at the Front Reception of The Model, or by contacting us in writing and letting us know that you would like to receive further information from The Model. In case, your name, email address and contact telephone number (if provided) will be stored in Mailchimp.com, our mailing list subscription service.

Your record on our database system holds the contact details you submitted to us, transactions you’ve made, a record of communications we would have sent to you, and whether or not you have given us permission to contact you and if so, what your preferred method of contact is.

WHY WE COLLECT DATA ON OUR CUSTOMERS

We use your data to:

  • Help us make decisions around the conduct of our business

  • Inform us on how to best communicate with you about events;

  • Provide you with information, products or services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, based on your transaction history;

  • Notify you about changes to our service.

HOW YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS KEPT CONFIDENTIAL

In order to protect your personal data and to maintain its quality we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data, such as credit card details. SSL encryption is designed to make the data unreadable by anyone but us.

We also have measures in place that limit the access to your information. For example, only those employees who need to come into contact with your data, to provide information about products and services to you, have access to our mailing lists. Our database system has high security measures in place and all activity on your record is password protected.

It is still worth noting that the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure and may involve the transfer of Data to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). Those countries may not provide an adequate level of protection in relation to processing your data.

Although we will do everything we can to protect your data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to this website. Any transmission of data is at your own risk.
