  1. What Personal Data Do We Collect?

The Personal Data we collect from you includes identifiers, professional or employment-related information, financial account information, internet activity information, and inferences drawn from any of these categories. We collect such information in the following situations:

  • If you express an interest in obtaining additional information about our services; request customer support; use our “Sign Up” or similar features; or register to use our services, we may require that you provide to us your contact information, such as your name, address, phone number, email address or username and password;
  • If you obtain our products or services from us, we may require that you provide to us your financial and billing information, such as billing name and address, credit card number or bank account information;
  • If you interact with our websites or emails, we automatically collect information about your device and your usage of our websites or emails (such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or other identifiers), which may qualify as Personal Data (please see the “What device and usage data do we process?” section, below) using cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies;
  • If you use and interact with our services, we automatically collect information about your device and your usage of our services through log files and other technologies, some of which may qualify as Personal Data (please see the “What device and usage data do we process?” section, below);
  • If you communicate with us via a phone call from us, we may record that call; and
  • If you voluntarily submit certain information to our services, such as submitting online forms or surveys, we collect the information you have provided as part of that request.

If you provide us or our service providers with any Personal Data relating to other individuals, you represent that you have the authority to do so, and, where required, have obtained the necessary consent, and acknowledge that it may be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you believe that your Personal Data has been provided to us improperly, or want to exercise your rights relating to your Personal Data, please contact us by using the information in the “Contact us” section below.

  1. What Device and Usage Data Do We Process?

We use common information-gathering tools, such as tools for collecting usage data, cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies to automatically collect information that may contain Personal Data as you navigate our websites, our services, or interact with emails we have sent to you.

4.1 Device and Usage Data

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically when individual users visit our websites. This information may include identifiers, commercial information, and internet activity information such as IP address (or proxy server information), device and application information, identification numbers and features, location, browser type, plug-ins, integrations, Internet service provider, mobile carrier, the pages and files viewed, searches, referring website, app or ad, operating system, system configuration information, advertising and language preferences, date and time stamps associated with your usage, and frequency of visits to the websites.

This information is used to analyse overall trends, help us provide and improve our websites, offer a tailored experience for website users, and secure and maintain our websites.

In addition, we gather certain information automatically as part of your use of our software products and services. This information may include identifiers, commercial information, and internet activity information such as IP address (or proxy server), mobile device number, device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, Internet service provider or mobile carrier, the pages and files viewed, website and webpage interactions including searches and other actions you take, operating system and system configuration information and date and time stamps associated with your usage. This information is used to maintain the security of the services, to provide necessary functionality, to improve performance of the services, to assess and improve customer and user experience of the services, to review compliance with applicable usage terms, to identify future opportunities for development of the services, to assess capacity requirements, to identify customer opportunities, and for the security of TicketSales generally (in addition to the security of our products and services). Some of the device and usage data collected by the services, whether alone or in conjunction with other data, could be personally identifying to you. Please note that this device and usage data is primarily used to identify the uniqueness of each user logging on (as opposed to specific individuals), apart from where it is strictly required to identify an individual for security purposes or as required as part of our provision of the services to our customers.

4.2 Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Tracking Technologies

To make our websites and services work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, shopping cart, or other preferences) over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

4.3 Do-Not-Track Signals

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.

  1. Who Do We Share Personal Data With?

We may share your Personal Data as follows:

Some external service providers may also collect information directly from you (for example, a payment processor may request your billing and financial information) in accordance with their own privacy policy. Such external service providers do not share your financial information, like credit card number, with us, but may share limited information with us related to your purchase, like your zip code.
  • Third Party Networks and Websites: With third-party social media networks, advertising networks and websites, so that TicketSales can market and advertise our services and products to you;

In accordance with applicable laws, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any transfer of Personal Data to an unaffiliated third party.

We may also share anonymous or de-identified usage data with TicketSales’s service providers for the purpose of helping TicketSales in such analysis and improvements. Additionally, TicketSales may share such anonymous or de-identified usage data on an aggregate basis in the normal course of operating our business; for example, we may share information publicly to show trends about the general use of our services.

  1. International Transfer of Personal Data

Any data that you provide to us may be accessed, shared or processed by our offices, located in Ireland, and service providers located in the United States, if such data transfer is necessary for the specific purpose for which you submitted your data (such as the provision of goods or services under a written contract).

This may entail a transfer of your personal information across international borders. The data protections standards may differ and be lower than the standards enforced in your jurisdiction.

We maintain appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law for any personal information transferred internationally, including, where applicable, standard contractual clauses. For a copy of these clauses, please contact us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section below.

  1. Children

If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.

  1. How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Data?

We may retain your Personal Data for a period of time consistent with the original purpose of collection (see the “Purposes for which we process Personal Data” section above) or as long as required to fulfil our legal obligations. We determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data on the basis of the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data being processed, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the Personal Data, whether we can achieve the purposes of the processing through other means, and on the basis of applicable legal requirements (such as applicable statutes of limitation).

After expiry of the applicable retention periods, your Personal Data will be deleted. If there is any data that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our systems, we will implement appropriate measures to prevent any further use of or access to such data.

  • Erase or delete your Personal Data, to the extent permitted by applicable data protection laws;
  • Restrict our processing of your Personal Data, to the extent permitted by law;

We will respond to all legitimate requests in a timely manner and in accordance with applicable laws, and will contact you if we need additional information from you in order to honour your request or verify your identity.

10.3 Your Rights Relating to Customer Data

As described above, we may also process Personal Data submitted by or for a customer to our software products and services. To this end, if not stated otherwise in this Privacy Policy or in a separate disclosure, we process such Personal Data as a processor on behalf of our customer (and its affiliates) who is the controller of the Personal Data (see the “Responsible entity” section above). We are not responsible for and have no control over the privacy and data security practices of our customers, which may differ from those explained in this Privacy Policy. If your data has been submitted to us by or on behalf of a TicketSales customer and you wish to exercise any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws, please inquire with them directly. Because we may only access a customer’s data upon their instructions, if you wish to make your request directly to us, please provide us the name of the TicketSales customer who submitted your data to us. We will refer your request to that customer, and will support them as needed in responding to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

10.4 Your Preferences for Marketing Communications

We may use your Personal Data to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving any, or all of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in any email we send, by replying or texting ‘STOP’ if you receive TicketSales SMS communications, or you can contact us using the contact details provided in the “Contact Us” section below. You will still continue to receive service-related messages concerning products and services you have purchased (unless we have indicated otherwise).

  1. How We Secure Your Personal Data

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. For example, when possible, we use encryption to transfer and store data. We further limit access to this data using access controls and confidentiality commitments.

However, no website, application, or transmission can guarantee security. Thus, while we have established and maintain what we believe to be reasonable procedures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information obtained through the Sites, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.

  1. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may change our Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to ensure you are familiar with the most current version.
