Even if you turn off personalization in your account, Ticketmaster will continue to use your data for profiling activities such as fraud screening, meaning behavioral profiling of your account does not stop entirely.

Users who opt out of personalization may reasonably expect all profiling to stop, but the policy clearly states that profiling continues for operational purposes such as fraud prevention, which means your behavioral data is still analyzed by automated systems regardless of your preference settings.
Opting out of personalization reduces marketing profiling but does not stop Ticketmaster from analyzing your account behavior for fraud detection purposes, meaning automated profiling of your activity continues regardless of your marketing preferences.

"By turning personalization off you won't get any personal recommendations and any newsletters you've subscribed to will be generic (although if you've asked to receive alerts about specific artists or venues, you'll still receive these). We will still perform profiling activities where we need to so we can deliver our services to you, for example for fraud screening purposes.— Excerpt from Ticketmaster's Ticketmaster Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages GDPR Article 22 on automated decision-making and profiling, and Article 6(1)(f) regarding legitimate interests as a legal basis for processing. The use of profiling for fraud screening without an ability to fully opt out may require a documented legitimate interests assessment. Under CCPA, profiling for fraud prevention may qualify as a service provider exemption from opt-out rights, though this depends on how the relationship with Forter Inc. is structured. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The disclosure is explicit, which reduces regulatory risk from a transparency standpoint, but the continued profiling after a user-initiated opt-out may generate user complaints or regulatory scrutiny if the scope of ongoing profiling is not clearly bounded or if automated decisions materially affect users such as account suspension based on fraud scores. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users have the most material exposure; GDPR Article 22 rights regarding solely automated decisions with significant effects may apply depending on how fraud screening outputs are used operationally. The right to object to legitimate interests processing under GDPR Article 21 is relevant here but may be overridden by compelling legitimate grounds. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The explicit naming of Forter Inc. as a third-party fraud screening provider and reference to Forter's own privacy policy indicates a data sharing relationship. Compliance teams should confirm whether Forter is engaged as a data processor under a data processing agreement or as an independent controller, as this affects accountability and audit rights. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should ensure the legitimate interests assessment for fraud profiling is documented and available, that the scope of profiling is proportionate to the fraud prevention purpose, and that any automated decision-making with significant effects on users triggers appropriate disclosure and human review mechanisms under applicable law.
