Planet Ice

Planet Ice operates as a United Kingdom‑based ice rink operator that provides skating facilities and related leisure services to the public. The company runs a network of ice rinks across the country, with incident reports indicating presence at fourteen distinct locations. Its core offering includes public skating sessions, figure skating and ice hockey training, as well as hosting private events such as parties and corporate functions. The organisation serves a broad consumer market, attracting individuals and groups seeking recreational ice‑based activities. According to the breach disclosures, approximately two hundred thousand customers had personal information stored across these sites, illustrating the scale of its user base. Planet Ice’s headquarters is situated in the United Kingdom, though the exact city is not specified in the available sources.

The organisation distinguishes itself by focusing exclusively on ice‑rink based leisure, relying on external partners for certain operational functions. Payment processing for customer transactions is handled by the third‑party provider Worldpay, which the company confirmed kept financial data secure during the 2023 incidents. Event‑related services are supported by another third‑party, IMP‑UK, whose involvement was cited in the breach descriptions as the vector for unauthorized access. This dependence on specialised service providers highlights a competency in coordinating external expertise while maintaining control over the core skating experience. No information about parent‑company ownership or subsidiary structure is provided in the supplied material, so such details remain unspecified.
