- Data sales
Consumer Profiles
Entertainment is personal, and we are always working to help you have the best in-Venue experience. In order to understand our customers’ preferences, and better recommend products and services that are personalized to our prior customers, we may create a “Consumer Profile” by linking together and analyzing Personal Data collected in the following contexts:

We use Consumer Profiles for our legitimate interests in market research and statistical analysis in connection with the improvement of our Services. For example, we may analyze the Personal Data of people who have purchased tickets for a particular future event that we promote, operate, provide services for, or that is hosted at one of our Venues, and then compare them with other people in our database. If we identify people in our database who have similar Personal Data to the original purchasers, we may then target marketing about that event to the new people we have identified in our database, for example by sending direct marketing emails. We may conduct the profiling and send the direct marketing emails automatically. We may also use this information for other Commercial Purposes.
Marketing Communications
Consistent with our legitimate business interests, we (or if appropriate, certain third parties) may send you marketing and promotional communications if you sign up for such communications or purchase products or services from us. For example, we may process Contact Data and Identity Data when you opt-in to receive marketing communications via email or SMS. Where allowed, we may also send you these communications without opt-in, for example, you may receive email marketing communications if you register for our Services or for a promotion, or in connection with your communications with or submission of User Content to us. Similarly, we may also collect Device/Network Data and Contact Data so that we can determine whether you have opened an email or otherwise interacted with our communications, and we may generate Inference Data based on these interactions.
Marketing communications may be personalized or customized based on your Consumer Profile. We may also process this Personal Data for targeted advertising. However, where consent to processing is required by law, we will link and process this information for targeted advertising only with appropriate consent.
Targeted Advertising
Our Group, and certain third parties operating on or through our Services, may engage in targeted advertising. This form of advertising includes various parties and services providers, including third party data controllers, engaged in the processing of Personal Data in connection with advertising. These parties may be able to identify you across sites, devices, and over time.
The parties that control the processing of Personal Data for targeted advertising purposes may create or leverage information derived from Personalization, Consumer Profiles, and Marketing Communications. In some cases, these parties may also develop and assess aspects of a Consumer Profile about you to determine whether you are a type of person a company wants to advertise to, and determine whether and how ads you see are effective. These third parties may augment your profile with demographic and other Inference Data derived from these observations, and may also track whether you view, interact with, or how often you have seen an ad, or whether you complete a purchase for a good or services you were shown in an advertisement.
We generally use targeted advertising for the purpose of marketing our Services and third-party goods and services, to send marketing communications, including by creating custom marketing audiences on third-party websites (such as Facebook).
Data Sales
Certain Commercial Processing purposes involve “sales” of data as defined by applicable law. For example, we may “sell” (as defined by applicable law) certain Personal Data when we engage in marketing campaigns with or on behalf of sponsors, conduct targeted advertising, or we may sell or grant access to Personal Data to our marketing partners, artists, promoters, and other advertisers.

Note, these disclosures may be made to governments that do not ensure the same degree of protection of your Personal Data as your home jurisdiction. We may, in our sole discretion (but without any obligation), object to the disclosure of your Personal Data to such parties.
International Transfers of Your Personal Data
If you are located outside the US, your Personal Data may be transferred to and/or processed in a location outside of the European Economic Area (EEA).

However, if we do transfer your Personal Data to other territories, we will put in place appropriate safeguards to ensure that your Personal Data are properly protected and processed only in accordance with this Policy.
