Summary

This document establishes Ticketmaster's data collection, use, and sharing practices for personal information obtained through ticket purchases, website activity, and customer support interactions. The policy authorizes Ticketmaster to share user names, contact details, and purchase history with Event Partners (artists, promoters, venues) and advertising partners, and to construct behavioral profiles from user activity independent of marketing personalization settings. Users may manage marketing preferences, opt out of data sharing for advertising purposes, and submit data access or deletion requests through privacy.ticketmaster.com.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is Ticketmaster's global privacy policy, governing the collection, use, storage, and sharing of personal information across its ticketing platforms, apps, websites, and customer service interactions, with legal bases including contractual necessity, legitimate interests, legal obligation, and consent. The policy states that Ticketmaster collects contact and billing details, purchase history, location data, browsing and device data, accessibility and health information, and geodemographic profiles; the terms authorize sharing this information with Event Partners (artists, promoters, venues), fraud screening providers such as Forter Inc., advertising and marketing partners, and government officials where required by law. The policy asserts broad profiling and personalization rights, including the creation of user profiles from purchase history, favorites, and social behavior, and states that profiling for fraud screening will continue even when personalization is disabled, a distinction that may not be immediately apparent to users managing their preferences. The policy engages GDPR and UK GDPR (referencing lawful bases and data subject rights), CCPA and US state privacy laws (referencing California and other US residents' rights including opt-out of sale and sharing), and sector-specific frameworks governing health and accessibility data, KYC identity verification, and payment processing; compliance obligations vary materially by jurisdiction, and the policy's adequacy for each regulatory context depends on local enforcement interpretation and the specific entity processing data in each market.
