How We Use Your Information & Why

This section explains how we use your information and the legal basis in which we use it.

1. For the performance of our contract with you

We use your information when you enter into a contract with us (e.g. to buy merchandise or a ticket) so we can:

• Process your order
• Take payment, and
• Provide you with customer support

2. For our legitimate business interests

• To analyse our market so we can improve our products and services
• For our marketing purposes, unless your consent is required for such marketing (see Your Choices & Rights, below).
• To send you customer service emails including booking confirmations and event reminders.
• To prevent or detect unlawful behaviour, 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, to prevent ticket touting or the misuse of our intellectual property (e.g. our own or our Event Partner’s brands), fraud, or other crimes.
• To create a profile about you to help us personalise our services to you. For example, if you purchase tickets to Plant Vibes 2022, we may contact you for future related events.

About your personalisation settings.

We can give you more of what you want when we know you better. To make sure our messages and website are relevant to you, we create a user profile with the information we know about you and how you use our services.

How to turn off personalisation.

Simply turn off “Allow personalisation” in your account settings. We’ll stop any personalisation and only use your data for essential services, such as screening for fraud.

What happens if you turn off personalisation?

We will no longer use your data to determine what you might be interested in. This means 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 do so to deliver our services to you, for example for fraud screening purposes and where you specifically request we do so such as by favouriting an artist.

Is turning off personalisation the same as turning off cookies?

No, they’re separate. To control your cookies settings, you can use our cookies consent tool. See our Cookies Policy for more information.

To ensure the security of our and our Event Partners’ operations.

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