We make sure that the video surveillance systems do not impinge upon the privacy of our visitors and employees.

Select few photographs are made available to the official media.
Such taking of photographs and such making of video recordings concern regular documentation of theatre performances and/or other events, which can be carried out (including on the basis of this information) without your prior express consent. We make sure that our visitors, whom we highly regard and respect, are not featured in unpleasant or undignified situations, which particularly applies to children.

We will always inform You of the existence of such an obligation in dependence on specific situations and of the consequences that may arise in connection with such an obligation.
Processing of your personal data does not give rise to automatic decision-making, including profiling, from which consequences for You may result.
