Unless otherwise stated, the content of this website, including text, branding, graphics, images and other material, belongs to or is used with permission by BBTA Ent Ltd.. It may not be copied, reproduced, distributed or used for commercial purposes without prior written permission.

You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of others, restrict their use of the site, or damage, disrupt or impair the website and its services.

We reserve the right to suspend, restrict or withdraw access to any part of the website at any time if necessary.

Links to Other Websites

This website may include links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. BBTA Ent Ltd is not responsible for the content, availability or privacy practices of those websites. Visiting any third-party website is at your own discretion and subject to that site’s own terms and policies.

Privacy

BBTA Ent Ltd is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We process personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. The ICO’s guidance remains the key reference point for UK organisations explaining how privacy information should be given to users.

We may collect personal information that you choose to provide to us, such as your name, email address, phone number, and any information submitted through contact forms, nominations, voting, ticketing, event registration or other website activity. We may also keep records of correspondence and collect limited technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device information and how the website is used.

We use this information to respond to enquiries, manage nominations, voting, ticketing and events, operate and improve the website, keep appropriate administrative records, communicate with you where appropriate, comply with legal obligations, and help protect the website and its users from misuse or unlawful activity.

Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for using personal data. Depending on the context, this may include consent, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation or legitimate interests. Where consent is used, it must meet the UK GDPR standard and be capable of being withdrawn.

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with trusted service providers where this is necessary to operate our website or services, such as hosting providers, ticketing platforms, payment providers, analytics services or professional advisers. We may also disclose information where required by law or legal process.

Some service providers may process personal data outside the UK. Where this happens, we take appropriate steps to ensure that personal data is protected in line with UK data protection requirements. We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

You may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, to ask for inaccurate data to be corrected, to request deletion or restriction, to object to certain processing, to withdraw consent where relevant, and to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. The ICO also notes that individuals must be given clear privacy information and that consent-based processing must be transparent and specific.

If you would like to contact us about privacy or exercise any of your rights, please email info@blackbritishtheatreawards.com.

Marketing Communications

If you choose to hear from us, we may send you updates about nominations, events, ticketing, news, promotions or related activity. You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting us directly.

Electronic marketing in the UK is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), which sit alongside the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Where PECR applies, it takes precedence for those rules, and PECR uses the UK GDPR standard of consent.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to help our website function properly, improve performance, understand how visitors use the site, and support features such as embedded content or third-party services.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. In the UK, the use of cookies and similar technologies is regulated by PECR. The ICO states that PECR sits alongside the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and that PECR must be considered first when storing information on, or accessing information from, a user’s device.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to work. Others, including analytics and certain third-party cookies, are non-essential and generally require user consent. The ICO’s current guidance also reflects updates following changes introduced by the Data (Use and Access) Act, including updated PECR-related rules on storage and access technologies.

When you first visit our website, you may be given the option to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect the way parts of the website function.

Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, misuse, loss, destruction or damage. However, no internet transmission or storage system can ever be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms, Privacy and Cookies page from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page and will take effect from the date of publication.

To Our BBTA Community

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have made the difficult decision not to hold the Black British Theatre Awards ceremony in 2026.

We know this will be disappointing news for our supporters, partners and the wider theatre community, and it was not a decision we took lightly.

The BBTA has always been more than a one-day event. For the past decade, the BBTA has celebrated and championed the outstanding talent, creativity and achievements of Black British theatre.

We remain incredibly proud of everything the awards have achieved and of the community that has grown around them.

While there will not be an awards ceremony this year, our commitment to recognising and celebrating Black British theatre remains unchanged.

We are taking this opportunity to look ahead and consider how best to build on the BBTA’s legacy in the years to come.

We will share further updates in the coming months. In the meantime, please direct any enquiries to info@blackbritishtheatreawards.com.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support of the BBTA. We are deeply grateful to our team, partners, artists and audiences, and we look forward to sharing our next chapter with you.
