2. General purposes of processing

We use personal data in order to provide functional digital platforms and render our content and services. Ticketcorner treats personal information with confidence, care and for the given purpose. In doing so, we adhere to the relevant requirements of the applicable data protection legislation.

3. What data we use and why

  • 3.1 Processing your personal data when visiting our websites
  • When you visit our digital platforms, the browser and apps used on your computer or mobile end device automatically transmit information to our website servers for processing.

    • 3.1.1 Processing for IT security purposes
    • 1. When you access our digital platforms, we process your personal data that is technically necessary for us to provide you with our websites and apps. This includes ensuring the stability and security of your visit to our websites and apps. We process the following personal data for this purpose:

      • IP address
      • When using the websites:
        • Browser fingerprints
        • Browser user agents
        • Cookies (see section 3.1.5 Cookies)
      • When using the app:
        • UU ID

      We reserve the right to check this log data retrospectively if there is a legitimate suspicion of unlawful use based on specific indications. We store IP addresses in the log files for a limited period of time if necessary for security purposes, for the provision of services or the billing of a service, e.g. if you use one of our offers. In addition, as part of your account, we store the date of your last visit (e.g. when registering, logging in, clicking links etc.).

      2. In order to identify and defend against threats (bot defence, DDoS attacks) and to deliver and accelerate online applications, we utilise the services of Akamai Technologies GmbH, Parkring 20-22, 85748 Garching, Germany. Akamai processes the IP address of your end device. Akamai uses this information on our behalf to prevent technical threats to our Website and to ensure a high level of availability of our Website. The IP address is generally transmitted to servers of Akamai in the USA, where it is processed. This data is transmitted based on standard EU contractual clauses.

      3. We utilise Google reCaptcha on our Websites. reCaptcha is a service offered by Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and serves to prevent the misuse of automated entries in web forms and consequently protect the technical systems of the host.

      When you call up one of our Websites in which reCaptcha is integrated, a connection is established to Google’s servers. A reCaptcha cookie is set. Your IP address will be transmitted to Google.

      In addition, reCaptcha collects the following data through «fingerprinting»:

      • Browser plug-ins used
      • The cookies set by Google in the last six months
      • The number of mouse clicks and areas you have moved on this screen
      • CSS information for the page you are viewing
      • Javascript objects
      • The date
      • The browser language

      The storage and analysis of the data is based on our legitimate interest in protecting our Websites from abusive automated spying and spam. To the extent that personal data is transmitted to Google in the USA, this is carried out based on standard EU contractual clauses.

      You may refuse the use of cookies and fingerprinting by selecting the relevant technical settings on your browser. Please note, however, that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this Website.

      You can find Google’s privacy policy and terms of use here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ and here: https://policies.google.com/terms

      On behalf of Ticketcorner, Google uses this information for the purpose of evaluating the use of our digital platforms, compiling reports on Website activity and providing other services relating to use and Internet usage to Ticketcorner.

Affiliate links are assigned to relevant transactions or other activity (e.g. purchases) solely in order to calculate any commission due. These assignments are removed when they are no longer required for this purpose.

Specifically, these additional values may include the website from which the link was accessed (the referrer), the time at which it was accessed, an online identifier for the operator of the website where the affiliate link was located, an online identifier for the offer concerned, the type of link used, the type of offer, and an online identifier for the user. You can stop these cookies being generated by turning off targeting cookies in your cookie settings.

    Your data will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (specifically our interest in being able to provide efficient, profitable, user-friendly services, and our interest in determining the amount of affiliate remuneration due).

    Yet we point out that data transmissions over the Internet (e.g. When communicating by e-mail) might entail security gaps. A full protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.

Personal data (contact details and ticket purchases) collected in connection with a ticket purchase may be used to notify you of the same or similar events in the future. In addition, the data protection declarations of the respective cooperation partner apply.

    5. To facilitate the debt collection process, we share your personal data with debt collection service providers who handle the process on our behalf on the basis of our legitimate interest in enforcing our legal claims.

    6. Information e-mails, newsletters and invitations to customer surveys are sent by service providers we commission and their use by you may be analysed and documented. We transmit your personal data to the service providers for this purpose.

    7. If and to the extent that we outsource certain parts of our data processing, we subject the contractor(s) to a contractual obligation only to use personal data in accordance with the requirements set out in the applicable data protection legislation and to ensure that the rights of the data subject are protected.

    We also use the services of our parent company CTS EVENTIM AG & Co. KGaA, Munich/Germany, and transmit the personal data required for this purpose to CTS EVENTIM AG & Co. KGaA.

    We also use IT service providers from the US that we conclude corresponding agreements with (in particular based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission), taking technical and organisational measures to ensure an appropriate level of security.
    8. We are also authorised to pass personal data on to our parent companies CTS EVENTIM AG & Co. KGaA, Munich, Germany and Ringier Ltd, Zofingen for internal group reporting and analysis purposes.

    9. With your consent, personal data may also be disclosed to other third parties (e.g. artists).

This consent may be revoked at any time from Ticketcorner or from the organisation indicated in the consent.

    10. In addition, we will only disclose your personal data to the extent that we are legally required to do so.
