All of the forms where you might enter personal information on

use the the most recently submitted form to be your current consent

The following features, by their nature, require and make use of
personally identifiable information.
Contacting Advertisers
The information that you enter into any of the forms we offer to
allow you to contact advertisers is recorded by us and then sent to
the advertiser that you chose to contact. This helps them provide
you with a more personalised service. We also send the advertiser
details of your last search to help them find Event that matches
your requirements more closely. If you are a registered user and
signed in when you contact an advertiser, we include your settings
to help them to provide more personalised services to you
Telephone calls
When you contact our advertisers using an 0843 telephone number,
information regarding the time and date of the call, status of the
call (answered, unanswered, engaged) along with your telephone
number (when presented) will be available to that advertiser. If
the advertiser you contact has opted into our telephone recording
functionality, your phone calls will also be recorded for training
and monitoring purposes. The recordings will only be available to
the advertiser you contacted and Trifinder employees.
Email a Friend
When you use the email a friend feature of this Site we record
which events you have sent to the friend, solely so that we can
track the popularity of those events. We record the other details
provided in the email for internal monitoring of the service. We
will NOT add any information collected in this manner to our
mailing lists or inform the advertiser, to protect you and the
recipient's privacy.

When our service is available via the websites of our partners,
those partners may have access to Your Information. Their use of
your personal information is governed by their privacy policies. We
are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of any
other websites, even if you access them using links from this Site

If we offer or supply a service to you that is provided on our
behalf by a third party we may have to pass Your Information to
them in order to deliver the service. By using this site you

licensed by us to provide such services. We may also use third
parties to provide services on our behalf which may include
processing (but not using themselves) Your Information e.g. to
complete partial addresses or to augment the information we hold
about you. In either case, we will not pass your data to anyone who
is not also registered with the Data Protection Act or is not
subject to these or similar provisions in our contract with them
and we will not allow the third party to use Your Information
commercially without your consent.
We will not otherwise disclose, sell or distribute Your

Cookies and tracking
Like many websites, we use "cookies" to enable us to personalise

Like all websites, our servers automatically record 'log files'
containing information about the volume and characteristics of our

Security, storage and transfer of information
We follow strict security procedures to ensure that your

computers that store the information are kept in a secure facility
with restricted physical access and we use secure firewalls and
other measures to restrict electronic access. If we are working
with third parties we will require them to have in place similar
measures to protect Your Information.
All of the information we collect or record is restricted to our
offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a
specific job are granted access to personally identifiable
information. We will explicitly ask you when we need information to
identify you. We may require you to co-operate with our security

Event Details Displayed on Trifinder
Details held by us about a Event do not comprise personal data
as defined by the Data Protection Act 1998. Trifinder may use the
data which we hold about events advertised to provide professional
valuation services and other data services to third parties. If
your Event is listed for sale or rent on Trifinder you may ask us
not to use some or all of the details of your Event to provide such
data services. In this event please write to the Data Controller,
Trifinder.co.uk, 33 Soho Square, London W1D 3QU stating your full
name and address, confirmation that you are the owner of the Event
upon whose instructions we are entitled to act, the full postal
address of your Event, the date it was placed on the market for
sale or rent, and the name address and telephone number of the
agent you have instructed to market the Event.

We may change this policy from time to time as we add new
services or features or in response to changes in the law or our
commercial arrangements. Any changes to this policy will be posted
