When you register for a pre-sale, we will collect your contact details, such as your name, address, zip code, email address, telephone number and credit card details.

When you buy tickets for our events. If you buy tickets for one of our events or an event where we are a co-organizer, or have a ticket transferred from a friend, we will receive your data from ticket providers or e-commerce platforms used to sell tickets for our advertised and co-advertised events, or from the venues we engage to run the event. This includes your name, contact details and ticket purchase information, such as the number of tickets purchased and seat number(s).
Event attendance. When you attend one of our events, we collect your data via our free Wi-Fi (if you sign up for it) and, where applicable, cashless payment wristbands, which can be used to access the events and make purchases on site.
Picture of fans and security footage. If you attend an event or festival on site, we will register your photo and check your identity with CCTV cameras, videos or with photographers on the festival site. This data is primarily collected for the safety of our fans, but sometimes we also use these images in our marketing or social media posts. If you object to the use of images for marketing purposes, please see "Your rights and choices" in the section below.
Use of our websites and apps. When you use our websites or apps, we collect information such as your browser and device type, your IP address, your location, the website from which you accessed ours, browser and app history, or which website you access when you leave ours. You can find additional information about how we collect this data in our Cookie Policy.
Security measures on site. Security measures are in place for visitors to the events we promote to ensure the safety of our fans. To this end, we keep lists of all incidents such as incidents, emergency medical care and criminal acts.
Competitions/competitions. If you enter any competitions or prize draws we run, we will use your details to store your response in order to contact you if you are one of the lucky winners. If the prize is awarded by a third party provider, we will share their name with you.
Surveys. If you take part in surveys from us, we use your data to store your answers and anonymize them. The anonymized data helps us to better tailor our events to the needs of fans.
Customer experience & customer service. If you contact our customer service with a question or complaint, we record the process for evidence purposes and to handle your request.
When you use social media and public online forums. If you use a social media feature on our website or apps and post on social networks, the social network website will provide us with data about you.
Geodemographic data. We may collect geodemographic data such as age or gender or information about events you like or products you have purchased to help us better tailor our offers to you. If you do not want us to do this, please read the section "Your rights and choices" below.
Health and safety purposes. In order to protect you and other attendees, we may collect information from ticket purchasers and attendees for the purpose of contact tracing in connection with infectious diseases, to the extent permitted by applicable law.  This information may include names, contact details, seating locations and admission and exit times.

USE OF DATA AND TERMS OF USE

1. Fulfillment of the contract with the customer

Purchase process. We use your data when you enter into a contract with us (e.g. VIP offers or goods) for the following processes:
- Processing your order;
- Receipt of payment;
- Sending customer service emails with booking confirmations and event information;
- Customer service support;
- Registration for the pre-sale of events
Event partners. Transmission to the event partners (incl. co-organizers) who provide services for the event. This is the only way that the event organizers or venue rental companies can also hold the event, allocate seats or notify you if there has been a change or provide important event information.
Prize draws, competitions and recommendations. We may use your personal data to confirm your registration for an event or competition. You may provide us with your friend's details, e.g. via our referral service, to tell a friend about our website or to purchase a gift voucher. We will only use your friend's personal data to provide the services you have requested. Your friend can contact us and have the personal data deleted.

2. Use for our legitimate business interests

Marketing. For information or offers about upcoming events, products or services, we may send you emails, push and web messages, by SMS or via social media platforms. You can change your preferences for marketing messages at any time, see section "Your choices and rights" below.
Advertising and cookies. Provide customized advertising and marketing information on our websites and apps (see our cookie policy for more information).
Market research and feedback from fans. To conduct market research and analysis to help improve and customize our products and services, or to contact you as part of satisfaction surveys or to participate in user analysis (e.g. focus groups), unless your consent is required. There is an unsubscribe option for these communications if you no longer wish to receive them.
Image material. We take photos at our events and sometimes post them on social media or use them in advertising campaigns. Our notices at the event will inform you of this and you can request that we remove your images at any time.
Personalization. To ensure that our communications and websites are relevant to you, we create a user profile about you to tailor our services to your interests. For example, if you like an artist, purchase tickets to an event, we may provide you with information about similar events that we think may interest you. We create a user profile with the information we have about you and your use of our services. You can simply deactivate "Allow personalization" in your account settings. This will stop any personalization. This means that you will not receive any personal recommendations and all newsletters you subscribe to will no longer have a specific focus (however, if you have requested notifications about specific artists or venues, you will continue to receive these).
However, we will continue to create profiles to provide our services if this is necessary for your benefit, e.g. to check for fraudulent activity and for verified fan pre-sales if you explicitly request this.

3. Legitimate overriding business interests

Preventing or detecting unlawful conduct, protecting and enforcing our legal rights and other lawful purposes. For example, we do this to ensure that tickets end up in the hands of "genuine fans". We may therefore use your data to prevent the sale of tickets on black markets, the misuse of our intellectual property (e.g. our or our event partners' brands), fraud or other criminal offenses.
Security at events. To protect our fans and ensure operational safety for us and our event partners.

4. What you have consented to

Marketing. For information or offers about upcoming events, products or services, we may send you emails, push and web messages, by SMS or via social media platforms. You can change your preferences for marketing communications at any time, see section "Your choices and rights" below.

Location-based services. Our app requires access to location for features such as finding nearby events, activating push notifications for them or even to show where you are at an event.

Audience security management. Some of our applications use software to help us determine how many people are at a particular stage at a particular time or when the bars are busiest. This helps us to use our resources more efficiently. We turn this feature on just before the festival or event and off just after, so we don't locate equipment when it's not necessary.

Advertising and cookies. Providing customized advertising and marketing information on our websites and apps (see our cookie policy for more information).
Business partners. Sometimes we work with business partners to whom we transfer data. These are third parties who are responsible for data processing and with whom we work for additional value-added services, e.g. travel arrangements, sponsorship or exclusive pre-sales offers. In some cases, where the data transfer is not necessary for the fulfillment of the contract, we will ask you if you agree before sharing and inform you what will be shared with whom.

Surveys. Participation in our visitor surveys is voluntary and helps us to better understand the needs of our visitors.

5. To protect your vital interests
