- In order to be able to show you and users who are similar to you in their purchasing behaviour suitable recommendations for products and services on advertising platforms from Google (e.g. YouTube and search or display network) and social networks from Meta (e.g. Facebook, Instagram), your encrypted e-mail address may be passed on to these networks after you have registered for our EVENTIM News.

Thereby, appropriate protection of your personal data is ensured.
The transmission of data is independent of the existence of a Google or Meta user account. As soon as the matching of the hashed data with the hashed user data on Google or Meta proceeded, Google and Meta delete the transferred data. As a result, Google or Meta don’t have access to the hashed e-mail addresses of people who are not registered on their networks beyond the matching process.

2.1.5 Use of cookies
- When you use our app, cookies are stored on your terminal. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the device memory of your mobile device and assigned to the respective app when you access our app. Cookies allow certain information to flow to the controller that sets the cookie. These also contain personal data. This makes our app more user-friendly and effective. Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your mobile device.
- The EVENTIM Cookie information Apps applies to the use of cookies in our app.
2.2 Registration and creation of a customer account
- If you visit our app, you can log in with your customer account which you have already created via our website. If you do not yet have a customer account with us, you can also create one via our app. Using your customer account, you can buy tickets, find out about events and leisure activities. You can also create lists of your favorite artists, venues and events, bookmark them and receive information about them. You can participate in exclusive pre-sales and take advantage of many other benefits relating to your ticket purchase. The registration and use of the customer account requires the provision of personal data. Mandatory fields are marked accordingly in the input mask. So-called session cookies are used for the technical realisation of the login.
- Due to our legitimate interest, we process your personal data to enable you to create and use your customer account, as well as to enable the sale of tickets, for user-verification in case of changes of personal data in the customer account, and to inform you about our products and services. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) and lit. f) GDPR.
2.3 Registration and login using a single sign-on (SSO)
- To make it easier for you to create a customer account and log in later, we offer you the option of registering or logging in using a single sign-on (SSO) procedure. This involves authenticating yourself with your access data with the selected provider (e.g., Facebook, Apple or PayPal). After clicking the branded button, you will be redirected to the login page of the provider of your choice. We receive selected profile data (e.g., name, email address and potentially delivery address and data of birth) in order to create a customer account or link an existing one. The specific data that is received depends on your setting with the respective provider.
- The use of SSO is voluntary and allows you to log in directly via your chosen provider in the future without the need to register again.
- We process your personal data on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To do so, you can remove the respective link in your customer account or directly in the settings of the chosen provider. The lawfulness of the processing prior revoking remains unaffected.
- We are not responsible for the data processing for authentication by the respective SSO-provider. For further information on data processing in the context of registering via third parties, please refer to the respective data protection information of your chosen provider:

PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full
2.4 Ticket purchase
- When you purchase a ticket through our app, we process the personal information you provide during your purchase. Mandatory fields are marked accordingly and include, for example, your name and address. The processing is carried out for the purpose of contract execution and processing with you on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR.
- If you purchase a ticket for another person (third party), we process the third party's personal data (name and, if applicable, contact data) provided by you for ticket personalisation and, if applicable, for sending the ticket to the third party. These data are processed for the purpose of contract execution and processing with you on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR. If you provide data of a third party when purchasing a ticket, make sure that the third party is sufficiently informed by you about the processing of his/her data at EVENTIM and that you are entitled to provide the data.
- If you choose the payment methods "purchase on account" or "hire purchase", Klarna Bank AB (publ) uses tools to identify possible fraud cases. A corresponding check only takes place if you give your consent (opt-in). If the check is negative, the payment methods "purchase on account" or "hire purchase" are rejected. However, all other payment methods listed in the ticket shop are still available to you. When using the tools, it is possible to draw conclusions about your person. We process your personal data on the basis of your consent as defined in Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR and due to our legitimate interest and Klarna’s legitimate interest in fraud prevention on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
- In order to offer you the payment method “direct bank transfer” on our website, we use the payment initiation service provider Tink AB. You will be redirected to the Tink website for payment processing and will find Tink’s applicable terms and conditions and privacy policy there. For payment processing, we process your personal data (e.g. name, contact and account information, amount) on the bases of contract fulfilment within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR. In some cases, account data such as the balance etc. may be used to carry out a risk assessment. This processing takes place due to the legitimate interest in fraud prevention on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
- If you choose to pay by credit card, you can use the Click to Pay service to make the credit card use easier. If you decide to register with Click to Pay, your payment details will be available for your next order. Netcetera AG will process your email address and telephone number for this purpose. The provider's data protection information and terms are displayed directly in the payment process. Your data is processed on the basis of your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.
- If you pay with a credit card, the so-called 3D-Secure 2.0 procedure (hereinafter: 3DS 2.0) is usually applied. 3DS 2.0 is a worldwide standard of card networks (Visa, MasterCard, JCB, Diners, AMEX etc.) developed by EMVCo, an association of card networks. 3DS 2.0 is one of the methods used to perform strong customer authentication in accordance with the EU 2015/2366 directive (Payment Services Directive 2, PSD 23). PSD 2 is implemented in Germany in the Payment Services Supervision Act. The 3DS 2.0 process confirms that the person initiating an eCommerce transaction is also authorized to use the respective payment card, i.e. it is intended to prevent the misuse of your credit card. The processing of the data required for 3DS 2.0 in accordance with section 3.4 of our Terms and Conditions (see https://www.eventim.de/en/help/terms/) is carried out for the purpose of executing and handling the contract with you on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR.
- When issuing personalised tickets, we may also process special categories of personal data, such as your health data, if you provide such information when purchasing a ticket, or if you provide corresponding details at the admission control or provide any proof at the admission control and agree that we may process this data. This includes, for example, the statement that you are a wheelchair user, have an allergy or an intolerance to food or a severe disability. We process this data to provide you with special price categories, special access to an event and special seats during the event. Your data is processed on the basis of your consent as defined in Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.
-
If you decide to have your tickets sent by post, we will help you to avoid input errors and ensuring the successful delivery through address suggestions and validation. To do this, we use Loqate from our partner GB Group Plc and process your IP address and the address data you have entered. The processing is carried out on the basis of contact fulfilment within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR.
- When choosing to have your ticket sent by post or if you have purchased merchandise or fan articles, we and our partners will transfer your contact details (name, address and email address) to the relevant express delivery provider for the purpose of electronic delivery notifications and parcel tracking. These delivery provides (including, amongst others, United Parcel Service Deutschland S.à r.l & Co. OHG and Deutsche Post AG) process your data as independent controllers. Depending on the scope of the services offered by the respective provider, you may be able to influence the delivery time or location, as well as specify alternative delivery options. This data is transferred for the purpose of contract execution and processing with you on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR.
- If you receive and accept a digital ticket (EVENTIM.Pass) from a third person through forwarding, we process your personal data. The processing is carried out for the purpose of contract execution and processing with you on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR.
- When you buy a ticket in our app, you may be redirected to a virtual queue in situations with particularly high visitor numbers. This is to ensure that we do not overload our app. To determine your place in the queue and to enable you to buy tickets at the right time, your IP address and possibly browser data (e.g. user agent) are processed by Queue-it ApS. The access to the virtual queue is sometimes restricted, so that you can only enter it if you have already registered in advance for the on-sale with your e-mail address. In individual cases, we register you for the virtual queue on behalf of our partners, who share your e-mail address for this purpose with us and in their own. To gain access, you must enter the previously registered e-mail address in the virtual waiting room and will then receive a one-time code by e-mail. The virtual queue can only be entered once this code has been entered correctly in the virtual waiting room. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in providing our websites securely and efficiently, on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR as well as providing you with a registration for the virtual queue on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.
- When you use a ticket sales registration, we possibly authenticate your registration to be able to exclude especially commercial buyers from the on-sale. In that case we will verify that you meet the requirement for the fair ticket purchase and thus for participation in the on-sale, we compare personal data from your Eventim customer account with your ticket sales registration, on the basis of contract initiation, execution and processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR. For example, this may involve your name and email address to ensure that you have only registered once for the respective on-sale. You will receive all information about the on-sale that you registered for via email(see section 2.11.1).
2.5 Offering, purchasing and selling of ticket via EVENTIM.Resale
- Via our secondary ticket market, a service integrated into EVENTIM’s general ticket sales (also available on a separate sub-page called fanSALE, accessible at www.fansale.de), you can offer and purchase all types of EVENTIM tickets. We process your personal data in your capacity as a person listing a ticket offer, a seller or a buyer for the purpose of initiating, executing and fulfilling of a contact on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR. If you purchase a ticket listed on the secondary ticket market, the same provisions as in Section 2.4 apply.
- In connection with the sale or purchase of a ticket, you may receive instructions from us. In doing so, we process your personal data for the purpose of contract initiation, performance and fulfilment on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR.
- If you sell tickets on our website, but do not fulfill your contractual obligation or any warranty claims, we may process your personal data after examining each individual case on the basis of § 24 Para. 1 2.V BDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR to take legal action. Your contractual obligations may include, but are not limited to, sending physical tickets back to EVENTIM.
2.6 Credit assessment and profiling
- If the customer selects the SEPA direct debit payment method, CTS EVENTIM reserves the right to obtain credit information from SCHUFA or infoscore within the scope of this contractual relationship.
- Credit risk is assessed on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures at the credit agency (SCHUFA Holding AG, Kormoranweg 5, D-65201 Wiesbaden, Germany, or infoscore Consumer Data GmbH, Rheinstraße 99, 76532 Baden-Baden, Germany), so-called scoring. For this purpose, your personal data which are necessary for the credit assessment (name, address, birthday) are transferred to the credit agency. We process your personal data for the purpose of credit assessment to avoid payment default. On the basis of the transferred personal data, including address data, a statistical probability of a credit default and thus your solvency is calculated. The credit agency then transfers your score value to us. Furthermore, CTS EVENTIM reserves the right to transmit data on non-contractual behaviour or fraudulent behaviour to SCHUFA Holding AG, Kormoranweg 5, 65201 Wiesbaden, or infoscore Consumer Data GmbH, Rheinstraße 99, 76532 Baden-Baden in the event of continued non-payment of claims that are not substantiated and disputed. The data exchange with SCHUFA or infoscore also serves the fulfilment of legal obligations to carry out creditworthiness checks of customers (§§ 505a and 506 BGB). SCHUFA or infoscore process the data received and also use them for the purpose of creating a profile (scoring) in order to provide their contractual partners in the European Economic Area and in Switzerland as well as any other third countries (insofar as the European Commission has issued a decision on the appropriateness of such data) with information for the purpose of assessing the creditworthiness of natural persons, among other things. This personal data is processed for the preparation and execution of your contract with us on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR and due to our legitimate interest in avoiding a default of payment on your part, according to Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
- If you choose the payment method installment purchase and invoice purchase, Klarna Bank AB reserves the right to obtain creditworthiness information within the scope of this contractual relationship. For further information please refer to the General Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy of Klarna Bank AB (publ).
- The decision as to whether payment by direct debit, hire purchase and/or purchase on account is possible is based on an automated decision. If your customer and order data are similar to the data of an order with payment problems, one of our employees will check your order process separately and manually.
- If the credit check is positive, payment by direct debit, hire purchase and/or purchase on account is possible; if it is negative, we cannot offer you the payment method "direct debit", "hire purchase" and/or "purchase on account". Payment by another payment method is still possible.
- The scope of the scoring is limited to whether payment by direct debit, hire purchase and/or purchase on account is possible. We use the scoring exclusively to prepare and execute the contract with you and to protect ourselves against possible payment defaults.
- Further information on the activities of the SCHUFA can be found in the SCHUFA Information Sheet pursuant to Art. 14 GDPR or can be viewed online at https://www.schufa.de/en/data-privacy/. The same applies to the infoscore information sheet.

The profiles and target group segments are used for analysis purposes and to show you more personalised and interesting information on our websites, mobile apps, in the newsletter and on other communication channels (e.g. online advertising activities on third-party sites). This provides you with more personalised and interesting content (see sections 2.1.2, 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.11 and 2.12).

- Recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to which personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. Authorities, however, which within the framework of a specific inquiry mandate may receive personal data under Union law or the law of the Member States shall not be considered recipients; the processing of such data by these said authorities is carried out in accordance with the applicable directives on data protection in accordance with the purposes of the processing. Depending on the method of payment selected for ticket purchases, the recipients of your personal data may be banks or the postal service providers via whom we send you your ticket by post.

An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Personal data can, for example, be name, contact data, user behaviour or bank data.
- The Controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are laid down by Union law or by the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for his appointment may be laid down in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States. For the data processing described in this privacy policy, CTS EVENTIM AG & Co. KGaA is responsible; partly together with the operator of a partner-site (see section 1.2).
