Claims to valid as of 7/31/2016 from Eventbrite's Privacy Policy, Merchant Agreement and Cookie Policy.
1) Data Sharing With Affiliates
In Eventbrite's privacy policy, they collect "Personal Data" and "Non-Personal Data" information. Their terms of use give them permission for "Internal Business Use" (Sec 4.3) and with Affiliates (Sec 5.3). They give themselves permission to use the "Aggregated Personal Data"
4.3 Internal Business Purposes. We may use your Personal Data for internal business purposes, including without limitation, to help us improve the content and functionality of the Services, to better understand our Users, to improve the Services, to protect against, identify or address wrongdoing, to enforce our Terms of Service, to manage your account and provide you with customer service, and to generally manage the Services and our business.
5.3 5.3 Parent Companies, Subsidiaries and Affiliates. We may also share your Personal Data with our parent companies, subsidiaries and/or affiliates for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy. Our parent companies, subsidiaries and affiliates will be bound to maintain that Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
11.4 Aggregated Personal Data. In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Services, we often conduct research on our customer demographics, interests and behavior based on Personal Data and other information that we have collected. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis and this aggregate information does not identify you personally and therefore is considered and treated as Non-Personal Data under this Privacy Policy.
The data is maintained and stored by Eventbrite for an undisclosed permitted period (Sec 8). Only an attendee can opt out of use of their Personal Data (Sec 10.2a), not the organization.
2) Solicitation of Attendees
Attendees in agreeing to the terms of use and privacy agree to be opted into Eventbrite's Marketing (Sec 4.4, 10.2a)
4.4 Marketing. We may use your Personal Data to contact you in the future for our marketing and advertising purposes, including without limitation, to inform you about services or events we believe might be of interest to you, to develop promotional or marketing materials and provide those materials to you, and to display content and advertising on or off the Services that we believe might be of interest to you. In particular, Organizers should note that we may use information we receive or collect regarding Attendees (including without limitation via an Organizer’s event Ticketing page) in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy, including in the manner set forth above.
10.2(a) Eventbrite Marketing Communications. Eventbrite may send you electronic communications marketing or advertising the Services themselves or events on the Services, to the extent you have registered for the Services or purchased a ticket and/or Ticketing to an event listed on the Services. You can “opt out” of receiving these electronic communications by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any such electronic communication. In addition, you may also manage your email preferences at any time by logging in (or signing up and then logging in), clicking on “Account” and then “Email Preferences.”
3) Buyers Tracked for Advertising
Eventbrite uses cookies and other tracking tools to display advertisements on and off their site. To opt out, your users would have to visit each of the participating vendors who are tracking their behavior and showing advertisements. (Sec 5.4 of cookie policy)
5.4 Advertising (including behavioral/interest based advertising). We use these technologies to deliver advertisements to you both on and off the Services. By using these technologies we hope to better tailor these advertisements to your interests. Sometimes this is called online behavioral, interest based or retargeted advertising. As of the date hereof, we use technologies from Adroll, Chango, Google, Media Math, Perfect Audience, Quantcast, Retargeter and Yahoo! for such purposes. Many of these vendors participate in voluntary frameworks that allow you to opt-out of such advertising.
4) Delayed Funding
In the merchant service agreement, Eventbrite reserves the right to hold any amount of event funds for any amount of time determined by them. (Sec 4.3f, 3.3)
4.3 (f) Reserves. Eventbrite reserves the right to retain a certain percentage of Event Ticketing Fees (with such percentage being determined by Eventbrite in its discretion) to fund a reserve (i) at any time as we determine in our discretion to be necessary based upon the level (or expected level) of refunds, disputed charges, chargebacks, customer complaints, allegations of fraud or changes in Organizer’s credit profile or the underlying event(s)’ risk profile; and (ii) as otherwise necessary to secure the performance of your obligations under the Terms of Service, including this Merchant Agreement. Eventbrite’s right to hold a reserve shall continue following the applicable event(s) and until either (A) Organizer has discharged all obligations under the Terms of Service and the applicable periods for refunds, disputed charges, chargebacks, and complaints have passed or (B) Organizer has otherwise provided Eventbrite with adequate security (as determined by Eventbrite in its discretion) for its obligations under the Terms of Service, whether matured or unmatured, contingent or non-contingent, or liquidated or unliquidated.
3.3 Failure to Provide. We reserve the right to suspend your Eventbrite account or to withhold any amounts due to you in the event that we reasonably believe that your Ticketing Data or Additional Ticketing Data is inaccurate or if you fail to provide all Ticketing Data or Additional Ticketing Data within the timeframes requested.
