Privacy Policy

Chalk are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors to our website and subscribers to our Mailing List. Here you’ll find information on how we treat data that we collect from visitors to our website, when purchasing event tickets or when someone subscribes to our Mailing List.

Website

When someone visits www.wearechalk.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 which 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.

We currently use Squarespace Inc to host our website. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to market our events and sell tickets to you. 

Your data is stored through Squarespace’s data storage, databases and the general Squarespace application.
