The notification and conditional consent requirement means users are not silently bound by major privacy changes; Ticketmaster must communicate such changes and may need to obtain affirmative consent.
Interpretive note: The clause does not define 'major changes' or specify what circumstances make seeking permission 'necessary,' leaving both thresholds undefined. The canonical claim preserves the qualifiers as written without elaboration.
The updated policy establishes that Ticketmaster may collect biometric information in limited circumstances where necessary for service delivery or required by law, with additional safeguards and advance notice. The policy now discloses that event photography and video may be captured and used in marketing materials, with a stated right to object where Ticketmaster controls the filming. Communications may now occur through messaging services in addition to existing channels. These disclosures inform you of practices Ticketmaster may engage in, but operational impact depends on whether and how these practices are implemented in your jurisdiction or event context.
