Eventbrite keeps your personal data for as long as it considers necessary for its business purposes, legal obligations, or dispute resolution, without specifying exact timeframes for most data categories.

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.
