We may use business analytics service providers to provide us with analytics concerning the Services and user behavior. These service providers may collect your usage information, IP address, browser information, device type, and similar personal information with respect to the various browsers and devices you use to access and use the Services.
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 identity verification services, fraud detection service providers, credit bureaus, mailing list providers and publicly available sources. If you create or log into your account through a social media site, we will have access to certain personal information from that site, such as your name, account information and friends lists, in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by such social media site.
We use the personal information we collect primarily to provide you with the products and services you purchase or use from our Application and Site (either directly or through third parties), to operate, 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.
We also use the personal information we collect to:
We share your personal information as set out in this privacy policy. We may also share your personal information as described below:
Many of the operations we perform require us to hire other companies to help us with these tasks. For example, SeatGeek 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, 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.
We may share your personal information with SeatGeek's affiliates and subsidiaries, based on our legitimate interest. 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.
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. 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 (excluding payment 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.
We may enter into agreements with companies (including, for example, by way of a co-branded or private-labeled website) that offer their products or services on our Site or Application ("Third-Party Companies"), 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 Site or Application. Because we do not control the privacy practices of Third-Party Companies, you should read and understand their privacy policies.
Our business is constantly changing. In the event SeatGeek 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.
SeatGeek 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 SeatGeek, our users, or others.
We may share personal information in an aggregated and anonymized form , which cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
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 Application or Site 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.

We retain your personal information for no longer than is necessary for fulfilling the purposes set out in this policy.
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.
We continuously assess the retention periods in order to ensure that we do not keep your personal information more than is absolutely necessary for processing purposes. 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 requirements.
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) may permit you to request that we: provide you the categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you in the last twelve months; 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 shared personal information. Additionally, it requires that we provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you, and, upon verified request, delete certain information we have about you.
