Given the global nature of our business some of the products and services we offer may differ and not be available in the country where you have an account.
- When you create an account and buy tickets. When you create an account, buy a ticket, register for a presale or have a ticket transferred to you by a friend, we will collect information directly from you. Depending on the service we are providing, this may include your contact and billing information, such as your name, street address, zip or post code, email, phone number and credit card.
- When you buy tickets from third parties. When you buy tickets from third-party e-commerce sites, the third party will send us information such as your contact and billing details and information about your ticket purchase for us to allocate tickets to you.

To do this, we need to collect details of your requirements. We only do this once, with your requirements then on record if you purchase an accessible ticket with us again.
- When you sell a ticket on Ticketmaster. As we are transferring money to you, we need to collect information such as a valid ID as part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. Once your identity has been verified, we securely delete this information. We may also collect information from you when you use our services as a seller, including additional identification data such as tax identification numbers.

We might collect or use suppliers such as advertising and marketing partners who collate geodemographic data including age range, gender, or information about events you like or products you buy which assists us in better personalizing our services to you.

- Information used for health & safety purposes. We may collect information from ticket purchasers and attendees for compliance purposes related to infectious disease to the extent required under applicable law.

This section explains how we use your information and the legal grounds/purposes for which we use it.
- 1.For the performance of our contract with you

- process your order
- send you customer service emails including booking confirmations and event reminders

- Fan Registration. Some of our events have a Fan Registration presale. If you enter, we process your data to profile you to limit fraudulent ticket purchases. If you are rejected, it won’t stop you from purchasing tickets at a later date. For more information on how your data is used during the Fan Registration Process read our FAQs for North America or International
- Contest, Competitions and Referrals. We may use your information to confirm your registration for an event or contest.

- Marketing. In line with what is stated below and where local laws permit, to contact you with information or offers regarding upcoming events, products or services (applicable to markets that rely on legitimate interest) this may be via email, via push and web notifications, via SMS, or social media platforms. You can change your marketing preferences at any time, see “Your choices and rights” section below.
- Advertising & cookies. In line with what is stated below and where local laws permit, to deliver tailored advertising and marketing communications on our websites and apps depending on your market, see our Cookie Policy for more information.
- Market research & fan feedback.

We include an unsubscribe option for this kind of contact should you no longer wish to receive them.
- Personalization. To make sure our messages and website are relevant to you (depending on your market). For example, when you ‘favorite’ certain artists and genres, purchase tickets, attend shows with friends and sign up for presales, we will inform you about similar events we think you might be interested in. We create a user profile with the information we have and how you use our services. By turning personalization off you won’t get any personal recommendations and any newsletters you’ve subscribed to will be generic (although if you’ve asked to receive alerts about specific artists or venues, you’ll still receive these).
We will still perform profiling activities where we need to so we can deliver our services to you, for example for fraud screening purposes and where you specifically request we do so such as for a Fan Registration Presale.
- 3.For our overriding legitimate business interests
- To prevent or detect unlawful behavior, to protect or enforce our legal rights or as otherwise permitted by law. For example, making sure tickets get into the hands of real fans.

- Accessibility. To process your health data to meet your accessibility requirements, where specifically required and explicit consent is provided.

These are third party data controllers that we work with to provide additional value-add services, such as our travel packages, sponsors or exclusive presale deals. In some circumstances, where sharing is not necessary for us to perform the contract you have requested, we will request your permission.
- 5.To protect your vital interests
- Health and Safety. Any information collected by us or our third-party partners in compliance with applicable health and safety requirements will only be used to contact attendees or shared with relevant local, government officials. This information is regularly deleted.

How long do we retain your personal information?
Your Ticketmaster Account. Your account is your digital identity on Ticketmaster; it is how we ensure your ticket purchases are secure and connected to an individual. It is also the primary basis for determining how long we keep your information.
Whenever you purchase a ticket, log into your account, or interact with us, we log this activity. So long as your account remains active we will continue to retain the information we have processed about you. For example we will:
- Retain your purchases or favorites so we can recommend relevant events;
- Keep your tickets assigned to you, so we continue to deliver events to true fans; and
- Keep your account validated and secure.
Your information will be deleted if you either (1) request deletion of your account, in which case your account and associated information will be deleted within a maximum of 90 days depending on the timeframes required by your local laws; or (2) your account has 7 years’ of inactivity.
Aside from this account-based rule, the retention of your information is also determined on the following bases:
- To provide you with the services you have requested. For example, when you purchase tickets or services from us, we cannot delete your account while you have an upcoming event, as you would not be able to attend the event you have purchased.
- When a law requires us to retain your information. For example, we retain certain purchase information for accounting and tax purposes even after you have deleted your account.
- When we have processed certain data with your consent. For example, if you have provided us with details of your accessible needs, if you withdraw your consent to this processing, we would delete that information.
- Safety & Security. We also maintain limited information in separate databases to keep our platforms safe and secure, such as to detect and prevent fraud, to power cyber security protections and to enforce our terms and any attempt to circumvent them.
When our retention periods are triggered, we either:
- Securely delete the information; or
- We anonymize the information. For example, where we would like to report on year-on-year sales, we retain the sales information, but remove any information linking the sales back to individuals who made the purchases.
Data Transfers
As a part of a global group of companies headquartered in the United States, we may need to transfer your information outside of your country of residency. This occurs where:
- We rely on shared services provided by the Ticketmaster group of companies, some of which may be located outside of the country where you are resident. For example, our global platform is designed and maintained primarily from the United States and the United Kingdom.
- When world-class acts are touring, in order to provide you a seamless experience, your information may be transferred internationally if that is not based in your country of residence.
- We use global service providers, such as the ones noted above.
When transferring information, there are strict rules in place to ensure your data is still protected to the highest standard. Where we do this, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are put in place. Where your information is transferred outside of your local market, we use contractual measures and internal mechanisms requiring the recipient to comply with the privacy standards of the exporter, we will use one of the mechanisms listed below.
- Contractual Clauses, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission and other Regulatory Bodies where applicable.
- Binding Corporate Rules
- Binding Corporate Processor Rules
