Privacy Policy
At Young at Art, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of visitors to our website, subscribers to our newsletter, and those who purchase tickets for our events. Here you’ll find information on how we treat data that we collect from visitors to our website, when someone subscribes to our newsletter, or when someone purchases tickets.
Visitors to our Website
When someone visits www.youngatart.co.uk we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way that does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.
Newsletter Sign-Up
As part of the registration process for our monthly e-newsletter, we collect personal information (your email address, name, and postcode). We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about what’s happening at Young at Art, Young at Art Events and Fighting Words Belfast, and occassionally other news from other organisations that we feel is of interest; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right, and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.
We use a third party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice. MailChimp participates in and has certified its compliance with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S Privacy Shield Framework. You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our newsletter emails or by emailing [email protected].
Purchasing Tickets
When you purchase tickets or gift vouchers through our Box Office, your name, address, email, and contact number will be stored by our ticketing partner, Ticketsolve. When you purchase tickets, data is shared between Global Payments (payment gateway) and Ticketsolve (ticketing platform), in order to process the transaction. Where patrons opt to join the mailing list, data will be shared with Mailchimp (email partner).
Ticketsolve, Global Payments, and Mailchimp have implemented appropriate technological measures to protect against accidental loss, destruction, damage, alteration or disclosure of data. Global Payments is a trading name of GPUK LLP. GPUK LLP is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Payment Services Regulations 2017 (504290) for the provision of payment services and under the Consumer Credit Act (714439) for the undertaking of terminal rental agreements.
For more information, please see their privacy notices here:
Please be assured that we do not share your personal details with any other company without your consent. Where activity is delivered with a partner venue or organisation, we will provide them with a customer list (name and mobile number) in order to fufil your booking and to be able to contact you in the event of any last minute changes. Partner venues or organisations are not allowed to store this beyond the event.
People who email us
We use Gmail, which automatically encrypts email, turning them into a code during delivery. This security tool is called Transport Layer Security (TLS) and helps prevent others from reading our emails. If your email service does not support TLS, you should be aware that any emails we send or receive may not be protected in transit.
We will also monitor any emails sent to us, including file attachments, for viruses or malicious software. Please be aware that you have a responsibility to ensure that any email you send is within the bounds of the law.

Cookies Policy
We use a system of classifying the different types of cookies which we use on the Website, or which may be used by third parties through our website. The classification was developed by the International Chamber of Commerce UK and explains more about which cookies we use, why we use them, and the functionality you will lose if you decide you don’t want to have them on your device.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your personal computer, mobile or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device.
How long are cookies stored for?
Persistent cookies – these cookies remain on a user’s device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.
