Keeping your information secure is very important to us.

To help us provide you with information relating to products and services that we think you will be interested in your data may occasionally be processed and held by third parties outside the European Economic Area (EU). If this is the case we will put in place appropriate safeguards to ensure your data is secure and protected in accordance with applicable data protection law.

Please be aware that all open interactive areas (such as The Kop, Messages Board, comments etc) are accessible to all users and their contents effectively available in the public domain. Think carefully about the contents of your submissions and if you choose to make a submission containing your personal information you do so at your own risk.

Protecting the online privacy of children is especially important. If we reasonably believe a user of interactive area to be under 13 years of age, we may need to remove any personal details gathered from such a user and, where possible, all submissions.

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to request that we don't send marketing material to you and this can be done by ensuring the correct consent boxes are ticked at the time of registration or making a purchase.

You can also change personal information and amend your consent using the 'My LFC' facilities when you are signed in to our website or shopping areas.

We also provide the opportunity to unsubscribe or amend your marketing preferences when we send you a marketing email. Please note that if you do unsubscribe or withdraw your consent we will be unable to keep you informed on issues that may be of interest to you such as ticketing availability.
