What this means for you

The updated terms expand the circumstances under which your email address is shared with event organizers. Previously, Eventbrite shared email addresses only with organizers of events you registered for. Under the revised policy, your email is also shared with organizers if you elect to receive their marketing communications through the Eventbrite platform. The policy clarifies that organizers own the data relationship with you for these marketing subscriptions, while Eventbrite processes the consent and delivery on their behalf.

What you can do

Review your marketing communication preferences on Eventbrite before opting into organizer newsletters to understand that your email will be shared with that organizer.

Check your privacy settings for any existing organizer marketing subscriptions to confirm which organizers have received your email address.
