Information Collected by Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We and our third-party partner and service providers use various technologies,
including cookies, web beacons, pixels, and other similar tracking technologies when
you interact with our websites or apps to collect information concerning your online
activities, such as the device and browser information, the pages you visit and the
content you view. This may include the use of session-recording technology to help
us perform a number of functions, including to analyze purchase behavior and
optimize our checkout process. We may also use third-party analytics tools (such as
Google Analytics) to obtain such information.
Cookies are small data files stored on your computer or portable device when you
visit certain web pages. They are used as a mechanism for websites to remember
things that a website browser has done in the past, for example, clicking on certain
buttons or logging in at a previous time. Cookies help us improve the user experience
and allow us to personalize our Services, assess which areas and features of our
Services are popular and understand customers’ usage of the Services.
We also allow third parties and service providers to use online-tracking technologies
on our websites for product analytics and advertising, which includes the
management and display of advertisements specific to your interests. Third parties
and service providers use this technology to provide advertising about products and
services tailored to your interests on our websites, as well as those of third parties.
The Awitickets mobile app does not utilize cookies for tracking purposes.
Managing Cookies and “Do Not Sell”
Where these online tracking technologies are deemed to be a “sale” or “share” (which
includes targeted advertising, as defined under the applicable laws) under one or
more U.S. state privacy laws, you can opt-out of these online tracking technologies by
submitting a request through the “Your Privacy Choices” link available at the bottom
of the Awitickets website and mobile app, or via the “Contact Us” section of our
Privacy Notice below. While we will always honor your choices based on applicable
privacy laws, this may result in the certain features in our website or app no longer
being available.
Please note that if you opt out through Your Privacy Choices, you will need to renew
your opt-out choice if you visit our website from another device or browser, or if you
clear your cookies because your request to opt out will be linked to your browser only.
You can also manage cookies by activating the setting on your internet browser that
allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. Please refer to the instructions
or the online help files available via your relevant browser if you wish to manage
cookies in this way. Alternatively, please

We may also disclose information, such as your email address, to our advertising
partners so they can show you ads that are more relevant to your interests or market
their products to you. To opt-out of “sales” or “sharing” of data, or “targeted
advertising” associated with your email address or Awitickets account, please
complete the “Your Rights” form found in Your Privacy Choices.
Information We Collect From Other Sources
We may also obtain personal information from other sources and combine that with
personal information we collect directly. For example, we may collect personal
information about you from third parties, including but not limited to our partners,
identity verification services, fraud detection service providers, credit bureaus, mailing
list providers and publicly available sources.
How We Use the Information We Collect
We use the personal information we collect primarily to provide you with the products
and services, to operate, personalize, maintain, support, host, enhance and improve
the Services and your user experience, in order to meet our contractual obligations to
others, comply with our obligations under applicable law, protect and exercise our
legal rights, protect the security of our systems and the privacy of our customers, and
otherwise protect or further our legitimate interests. Personal information may be
stored or processed outside of your country of residence, in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations.
We also use the personal information we collect to:
• detect, investigate and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal
activities and protect the rights and property of Awitickets and others;
• improve the user experience of our products and services;
• provide advertisements, content or features that match user profiles or
interests;
• comply with legal obligations, court orders or other legal process and
instructions of competent authorities;
• exercise or protect our rights in contract or by law (including in any dispute
resolution process) or the rights of our users or business partners, including
enforcing our terms of use and preventing or protecting against any illegal or
authorized activities
Sharing Your Personal Data
We share your personal information as described below or as otherwise described in
this notice:
Awitickets’s Vendors and Providers
Many of the operations we perform require us to hire other companies to help us with
these tasks. For example, Awitickets retains companies to help us handle mail and
email (including sending and delivering packages, postal mail and email), market our
products and services, handle purchases of tickets to certain events, analyze user
behavior, process credit card transactions, and provide customer service. The
companies we retain to help us with these tasks have access to personal information
to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
For users who submit personal financial information for sales or other scenarios
where a user receives money from Awitickets, we utilize a third-party payment
provider, Stripe, to process all payments and tax-reporting documents on our behalf.
When you provide certain personal information on the Awitickets platform, including
your Social Security Number, all such information is provided directly by you to our
third-party processor. The payment processor’s use of your personal information is
governed by their privacy notice. To view Stripe’s privacy notice, including how your
information is processed and retained, please visit: https://stripe.com/privacy
Awitickets also utilizes a third-party to manage automated promotional and marketing
text and SMS messages that you explicitly consent to receiving. You may reply HELP
or STOP at any time to cancel these messages and may view more information about
how our service provider, Attentive, processes your personal information by viewing
their Terms & Privacy Notice
Awitickets’s Subsidiaries and Affiliates
We may share your personal information with Awitickets’s affiliates and subsidiaries,
based on our legitimate interests. Our affiliates and subsidiaries may use your
personal information solely for the purposes set out in the “How We Use the
Information We Collect” paragraph above.
External Service Providers, Event Providers, and Awitickets Users
When you use the Services to purchase or sell tickets, we may provide personal
information to the ticket seller, team, venue, promoters, league, or other third party
involved in the sale of the ticket or otherwise related to the event or similar events in
the future. We may even ask you to transact directly with that third-party vendor. For
example, when you purchase a ticket, we may share your personal information with
the seller of the ticket in order for the seller to complete the transaction. Similarly,
when you purchase a ticket to an event (such as, but not limited to, a game or
concert), we may provide your personal information to the teams you see, the league
or organization that sanctioned the game, a concert promoter, and/or the operator of
the venue or facility that hosted the event. Additionally, we may share information
with third parties to assist in processing your payment with the seller, or a payment to
you, if you are the seller. These third parties may use your personal information for
analytics, offering you other products or services, preparation of reports, ticket
fulfillment, as well as customer service and other legitimate business uses.
Third-Party Companies
We may enter into agreements with companies (including, for example, by way of a
co-branded or private-labeled website) (“Third-Party Companies”) that offer their
products or services on our Services, and you may be asked to transact directly with
those Third-Party Companies relating to your purchase of tickets. As a result, we may
disclose your personal information to the Third-Party Companies that co-brand their
products and services on our Services. For example, we do not process payment
information, such as credit cards, directly, but instead utilize secure Third-Party
Companies to process that payment. Because we do not control the privacy practices
of Third-Party Companies, you should read and understand their privacy policies
and/or notices.
Future Business Transfers
Our business is constantly changing. In the event Awitickets goes through a business
transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a
portion of its assets, your personal information will likely be among the assets
transferred.
Compliance with Law and Protection of Awitickets
Awitickets reserves the right to disclose personal information in order to comply with
the law. We may also disclose personal information to enforce or apply the terms and
conditions applicable to our products and services, or protect the rights, property or
safety of Awitickets, our users, or others.
De-Identified Data
We may process and share data in an aggregated and anonymized form. When we
do this, we ensure that the data we share cannot reasonably be used to identify you
or your device.
Advertising and Analytics Services Provided by Others
We may allow others to provide analytics services and serve advertisements on our
behalf across the Internet and in applications. These entities may use cookies, web
beacons, device identifiers and other technologies to collect information about your
use of the Services and other websites and applications, including your IP address,
web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in
apps, links clicked, information about your location, and conversion information. This
information may be used by Awitickets and others to, among other things, analyze
and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, and to deliver advertising
and content targeted to your interests on our Services and other websites and
applications. For more information about interest-based ads, or to opt out of having
your web browsing information used for interest-based advertising purposes, please
visit www.aboutads.info/choices. Your device may also include a feature that allows
you to opt out of having certain information collected through applications used for
interest-based advertising purposes. See “Your Choices” below for information about
how to control the collection of location information by Awitickets.
How long do we keep your personal information for?
We retain your personal information for no longer than is necessary for fulfilling the
purposes set out in this notice and it will be stored securely as long as we have it. We
apply different retention policies for different types of personal information. The
retention period is dictated by certain factors, such as the type of personal
information, the purpose for which the data was collected, the legal basis permitting
us to collect and store it, statutory requirements, industry guidelines, our legitimate
interests in providing the Services or protecting our legal rights, etc.
When we no longer have a legitimate reason or legal requirement to process your
personal information, we will delete it or store it in an anonymized and aggregated
manner that no longer identifies you.
For example, if you close your account with us, we may retain in our files certain
information associated with your account and past transactions for purposes of
backups, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, investigations, and compliance with
legal and regulatory requirements.
Your California Privacy Rights
California law permits residents of California to request certain details about how their
information is used, stored, and shared. If you are a California resident, you may
have certain rights. Specifically, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as
amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA) (collectively,
“California Privacy Laws”) may permit you to request that we: provide you the
categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you; the
categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for
collecting your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we
