PROCESSING PURPOSES

Business Purposes

We and our Service Providers process Personal Data we hold for numerous business purposes, depending on the context of collection, your Rights & Choices, and our legitimate interests. We and our Service Providers generally process Personal Data for the following “Business Purposes.”

Service Delivery

We process Personal Data as necessary to provide our Services and the products and services you purchase or request. For example, we process Personal Data to authenticate users and their rights to access the Services, events, or venues, as otherwise necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, provide you with the information, features, and services you request, and create relevant documentation.

Internal Processing and Service Improvement

We may use any Personal Data we process through our Services as necessary in connection with our legitimate interests in improving the design of our Service, understanding how our Services are used or function, for customer service purposes, for internal research, technical or feature development, to track use of our Service, QA and debugging, audits, and similar purposes.

Security and Incident Detection

We may process Personal Data in connection with our legitimate interest in ensuring that our Services are secure, identify and prevent crime, prevent fraud, and verify or authenticate users/individuals, and ensure the safety of our guests. Similarly, we process Personal Data on our Services as necessary to detect security incidents, protect against, and respond to malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity. We may analyze network traffic, device patterns, and characteristics, maintain and analyze logs and process similar Personal Data in connection with our information security activities.

Contextual Advertising

We may display contextual advertising on our Services. In which case, we may customize such advertisement using data processed based on your current interaction with the Service (e.g. time, general location). We may also document and audit ad impressions and related data relating to the delivery and display of contextual advertisements.

Personalization

We process certain Personal Data as necessary in connection with our legitimate interest in personalizing our Services. For example, aspects of the Services may change so they are more relevant to you. We may personalize based on Preference Data and your current interactions with the Service using Personal Data we hold about you. We may also personalize based on Profiles, where permitted by law, e.g. by displaying your name and other appearance or display preferences, to display content that you have interacted with in the past, or to display content that we think may be of interest to you based on your interactions with our Digital Services and other content.

Aggregated Data

We process Personal Data in order to identify trends, including to create aggregated and anonymized data about buying and spending habits, use of our Services, and other similar information (“Aggregated Data”). Aggregated Data that does not contain Personal Data is not subject to this Privacy Policy.

Compliance, Health, Safety, Public Interest

We may also process Personal Data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, such as where you exercise your rights under data protection law, for the establishment and defense of legal claims, where we must comply with requests from government or law enforcement officials, and as may be required to meet national security or law enforcement requirements or prevent illegal activity. We may also process data to protect the vital interests of individuals, or on certain public interest grounds, each to the extent required or permitted under applicable law. Please see the How We Share Personal Data section for more information about how we disclose Personal Data in extraordinary circumstances.

Commercial Purposes

We and certain third parties process Personal Data to further our commercial or economic interests (“Commercial Purposes,”) depending on the context of collection and your Rights & Choices.

Please Note – We may require your consent, or we may not engage in processing of Personal Data for Commercial Purposes in some jurisdictions. See the “REGIONAL SUPPLEMENTS” section below for more information.

Profiles

Entertainment is personal, and we are always working to help you find the best concerts, festivals, sports, and other events for you to enjoy. In order to understand our customers’ preferences, and better recommend products and services that are personalized to our customers, we may create a “Profile” by linking together and analyzing Personal Data processed in the following contexts:

We may augment Profiles with Personal Data that we receive from Event Partners, affiliates or third parties, e.g. information about Services you have used or purchased previously, events and venues you visited, or locations at those events/venues, or demographic data and data from your publicly-available social media profiles.

In some cases we process Preference Data that reveals Race or Ethnic Origin as part of our Profiles. We typically process this information in relation to marketing for certain events (e.g. cultural or heritage events.) Depending on applicable laws, we may not collect this information, and we may require your consent before collecting it. We will limit the use and disclosure of your Race or Ethnic Origin according to applicable law. See the “Regional Supplements” section below for more information about your rights in Sensitive Data.

We use Profiles for our legitimate interests in market research and statistical analysis in connection with the improvement of our Services. For example, we may analyze the Personal Data of customers who have purchased tickets for a future event, and then compare them with other customers in our database. If we identify other customers in our database who have similar Personal Data to the original purchasers, we may direct marketing about that event to the similar customers. We may conduct the profiling and send the direct marketing emails automatically.

Profiles involve processing that is automated, in whole or in part.

Personalized Marketing Communications

We may personalize Marketing Communications based on your Profile. If consent to Consumer Profiling or Targeted Advertising is required by law, we will seek your consent.

Targeted Advertising

In some jurisdictions, AXS affiliates and certain third parties operating on or through our Services, may engage in advertising targeted to your interests based on Personal Data that we or those third parties obtain or infer from your activities across non-affiliated websites, applications, or services in order to predict your preferences or interests (“Targeted Advertising” or “Sharing”). This form of advertising includes various parties and service providers, including third party data controllers, engaged in the processing of Personal Data in connection with advertising. These parties may be able to identify you across sites, devices, and over time.

The parties that control the processing of Personal Data for Targeted Advertising purposes may create or leverage information derived from Personalization, Profiles, and Marketing Communications. In some cases, these parties may also develop and assess aspects of a Profile about you to determine whether you are a type of person a company wants to advertise to, and determine whether and how ads you see are effective. These third parties may augment your profile with demographic and other Preference Data, and may track whether you view, interact with, or how often you have seen an ad, or whether you purchased advertised goods or services.

We generally use Targeted Advertising for the purpose of marketing our Services and third-party goods and services, and to send Marketing Communications, including by creating custom marketing audiences on third-party websites or social media platforms.

Data Sales

We may engage in “sales” or “sharing” of data as defined by applicable law. For example, we may “sell” certain Personal Data when we engage in marketing campaigns with or on behalf of sponsors, conduct Targeted Advertising or data “sharing,” or we may sell or grant access to Personal Data to our marketing partners, Event Partners, and other advertisers in relation to Targeted Advertising, joint promotions, and other marketing initiatives. See the US Regional Supplement section for a list of categories of Personal Data sold or “shared.”

DISCLOSURE/SHARING OF PERSONAL DATA

Sponsors, Advertisers, and Social Media Platforms - We may share certain Personal Data with social media platforms, advertisers, ad exchanges, data management platforms, or sponsors in support of our Business Purposes and Commercial Purposes. We may allow these third parties to operate on or through our Services. These parties may be third party controllers, and may have their own privacy policies and their processing is not subject to this Policy. We do not share Contact Data collected in connection with SMS marketing or ticket delivery with these parties unless you elect to receive such SMS communications from those third parties.

Public Disclosure - If you use any social media plugin, API, or other similar feature, use an event hashtag or similar link, or otherwise interact with us or our Services via social media, we may make your post available on our Services or to the general public. We may share, rebroadcast, or redisplay Personal Data or other information in the post to the extent permitted by the relevant social media service.

Event Partners - We may share your Personal Data with Event Partners who have engaged us to provide Services on their behalf in connection with the events that are provided or promoted by that third party. You may also direct us to disclose this data to or interact with these third parties as part of attending an event or making a purchase (which does not involve a data sale by us). However, in other cases, these parties may also receive data for our Business Purposes and in connection with Data Sales and Sharing. We do not share Contact Data collected in connection with SMS marketing or ticket delivery with Event Partners unless you elect to receive such SMS communications from those third parties.

Data Aggregators - We may share Personal Data with third party data suppliers in support of our Commercial Purposes and in connection with Data Sales and Sharing.

Successors - We may share Personal Data if we go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition, liquidation, or sale of all or a portion of our assets. For example, Personal Data may be part of the assets transferred, or may be disclosed (subject to confidentiality restrictions) during the due diligence process for a potential transaction.

Lawful Recipients - In limited circumstances, we may, without notice or your consent, access and disclose your Personal Data, any communications sent or received by you, and any other information that we may have about you to the extent we believe such disclosure is legally required, to prevent or respond to a crime, to investigate violations of our Terms of Use, in the vital interests of us or any person (such as where we reasonably believe the use or disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious threat to the life, health or safety of any individual or to public health or safety) or in such other circumstances as may be required or permitted by law. These disclosures may be made to governments that do not ensure the same degree of protection of your Personal Data as your home jurisdiction. We may, in our sole discretion (but without any obligation), object to the disclosure of your Personal Data to such parties.

Cookies, Similar Technologies, and Targeted Advertising

General - If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, you can manage/deny cookies (and certain technologies) using your browser’s settings menu or our Cookie Preferences link. You may need to opt out of third-party services directly via the third party.

Global Privacy Control (GPC) - Our Services may support certain automated opt-out controls, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”).

To activate GPC, users must enable a setting or use an extension in the user’s browser or mobile device. Please review your browser or device settings for more information regarding how to enable GPC.

Please note: We may not be able to link GPC requests to your Personal Data in our systems, and as a result, some sales/sharing of your Personal Data may occur even if GPC is active. See the “REGIONAL SUPPLEMENTS” section below for more information regarding other opt-out rights.

DATA SECURITY

We implement and maintain reasonable security measures to secure your Personal Data from unauthorized processing. While we endeavor to protect our Services and your Personal Data unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission or while stored on our systems, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others. When we process information, we may pseudonymize data (i.e. store or use Personal Data using only a non-identifying number) or anonymize data (i.e. store data in a form that is not linked to or reasonably able to identify you personally) in order to protect your Personal Data during processing.

CHILDREN

Our Services are neither directed at nor intended for use by persons under the age of 13 in the US, or under the age of 13 to 16 in the EEA, UK, Switzerland, Cayman Islands, or 15/16 in Australia and New Zealand.

DATA RETENTION

We retain Personal Data for so long as it is reasonably necessary to achieve the relevant processing purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or for so long as is required by law. What is necessary may vary depending on the context and purpose of processing. We generally consider the following factors when we determine how long to retain data (without limitation):

  • Retention periods established under applicable law;
  • Industry best practices;
  • Whether the purpose of processing is reasonably likely to justify further processing;
  • Risks to individual privacy in continued processing;
  • Applicable data protection impact assessments;
  • IT systems design considerations/limitations; and
  • The costs associated continued processing, retention, and deletion.

We will review retention periods periodically and may pseudonymize or anonymize data held for longer periods.

THIRD PARTY WEBSITES AND MOBILE APPLICATIONS

Except for processing by our service providers (described above), this Privacy Policy does not apply to third party websites, products, or services. For example, we handle some of the purchase process on our Services directly, and third party businesses (such as payment processors) may manage others. Third parties may operate or develop some of Our Group’s websites and mobile apps, may operate or host a contest/sweepstakes on our Services. In these cases, the terms, conditions, and privacy practices of the third party, not Our Group, may govern your transactions, and we may have no control over the Personal Data collected.

CHANGES TO OUR POLICY

We may change this Policy from time to time. We will post changes on this page. We will notify you of any material changes, if required, via email or notices on our Services. Your continued use of our Services constitutes your acknowledgement of any revised Policy.
