We also collect data about the use of our website, such as the time that you visit us and the subject matter that you view. The response to our emails (open and clicks) is also recorded, but not at an individual level.

4.    Storage period

Bâtard stores your (personal) data for a maximum of 5 years after your last purchase or your last contact with Bâtard. 


5.    Security

Bâtard has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures, and visibly and invisibly monitors and protects all its services against misuse and fraud.


6.    Collaboration with third parties

Bâtard collaborates with various third parties so that our audience can attend events. These third parties range from authorised ticket-sellers who sell the tickets on our behalf, to the artists that we promote. For booking tickets, we work with our ticket partner Ticketmatic. 
Certain personal details may be passed on to partners, for example in order to guarantee ticket control for co-productions, in order to comply with legislation, or at the request of a government agency. 
Insofar as these third parties process (personal) data when implementing the relevant services, they are acting as processors. Bâtard has entered into a processors’ agreement with these processors. Naturally, the relevant processor only receives the necessary data and is (contractually) obliged to operate an appropriate level of security and to handle personal data with care. Moreover, personal data is not stored by our processors any longer than necessary.


7.    Your rights

Under the GDPR, everyone has a number of rights. You may ask Bâtard for access to the personal data about you that we process. We will also state how and why we process this data. If you believe that Bâtard is processing incorrect or incomplete data, then we will modify it at your request. You may also request that we delete it. It may be the case that Bâtard is still obliged to process the data for other purposes (administrative, fiscal retention obligation). If you suspect that we are processing your personal data unlawfully or inaccurately, then you can also have the processing restricted. You may also object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes or other purposes. The right to data portability is new under the GDPR. You may ask Bâtard to transfer your personal data or to have it transferred. 
We are not a commercial institution that wants to send you spam in the form of unnecessary emails and offers. Every newsletter that we send you has a link at the bottom through which you can unsubscribe. If you no longer wish to receive physical post from us, you may always let us know. Please note that it may take around 10 days to process your request. 
If you wish to exercise your rights as regards the processing of your (personal) data by Bâtard, then you may submit a request to Bâtard to that effect using the address below. Your request will then be processed free of charge by Bâtard. Where Bâtard is unable to fully comply with your request, it will inform you of the reasons for this.
