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.

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.

Previously, the policy referenced a Data Privacy Framework Notice but did not specify complaint procedures or regulatory escalation pathways. These additions clarify existing legal rights under UK and EU data protection law rather than creating new consumer obligations.
View change record →Users' personal data will be retained by Eventbrite throughout their service engagement and beyond account closure in instances where legal requirements or legitimate business purposes apply.
