How We Process Personal Data for Commercial Purposes We and certain third parties process Personal Data we hold for certain Commercial Purposes, depending on the context of collection and your rights and choices. Commercial Purposes include those that are in support of our commercial or economic interests and may overlap with and include our Business Purposes in some instances. Commercial Purposes include but are not limited to:
Consumer Profiles Entertainment is personal, and we are always working to help you have the best in-Venue experience. To understand our customers’ preferences, and better recommend products and services that are personalized to our prior customers, we may create a “Consumer Profile” by linking together and analyzing Personal Data collected in the following contexts:
We may also augment Consumer Profiles with Personal Data that we create or that we receive from Our Group or third parties and may include Personal Data such as information about Services you have used or purchased previously, information about when you have visited our Venues in the past and which events you attended, demographic data and data from your social media profiles. Sensitive Personal Information will not be used for profiles.
We use Consumer Profiles for our legitimate interests in market research and statistical analysis in connection with the improvement of our Services. For example, we may analyze the Personal Data of people who have purchased tickets for a particular future event that we promote, operate, provide services for, or that is hosted at one of our Venues, and then compare them with other people in our database. If we identify people in our database who have similar Personal Data to the original purchasers, we may then target marketing about that event to the new people we have identified in our database, for example, by sending direct marketing emails. We may conduct the profiling and send direct marketing emails automatically. We may also use this information for other Commercial or Business Purposes compatible with the context for which the Personal Data was originally collected.
Marketing Communications Consistent with our legitimate business interests, we (or if appropriate, certain third parties) may send you marketing and promotional communications if you sign up for such communications or purchase products or services from us. For example, we may process Contact Data and Identity Data when you opt-in to receive marketing communications via email or SMS. Where allowed, we may also send you these communications without opt-in, for example, you may receive email marketing communications if you register for our Services or for a promotion, or in connection with your communications with or submission of User Content to us. Similarly, we may also collect Device/Network Data and Contact Data so that we can determine whether you have opened an email or otherwise interacted with our communications, and we may generate Inference Data based on these interactions.
Marketing communications may be personalized or customized based on your Consumer Profile. We may also process this Personal Data for targeted advertising. However, where consent to processing is required by law, we will link and process this information for targeted advertising only with appropriate consent.
Targeted Advertising Our Group, and certain third parties operating on or through our Services, may engage in targeted advertising. This form of advertising includes various parties and service providers, including third party data controllers, engaged in the processing of Personal Data in connection with advertising. These parties may be able to identify you across sites, devices, and over time.
The parties that control the processing of Personal Data for targeted advertising purposes may create or leverage information derived from Personalization, Consumer Profiles, and Marketing Communications. In some cases, these parties may also develop and assess aspects of a Consumer Profile about you to determine whether you are a type of person a company wants to advertise to and determine whether and how ads you see are effective. These third parties may augment your profile with demographic and other Inference Data derived from these observations, and may also track whether you view, interact with, or how often you have seen an ad, or whether you complete a purchase for a good or services you were shown in an advertisement.
We generally use targeted advertising for the purpose of marketing our Services and third-party goods and services, to send marketing communications, including by creating custom marketing audiences on third-party websites (such as Facebook). We do not use or share Sensitive Personal Information for targeted advertising.
See the section on Cookies and other tracking technologies for information about how to opt-out of targeted advertising.

We do not sell any Sensitive Personal Information.

We may, in our sole discretion (but without any obligation), object to the disclosure of your Personal Data to such parties, to the extent we are required to do so by law.
How We Retain Your Personal Data We retain Personal Data for so long as it, in our discretion, remains relevant to its purpose, and in any event, for so long as is required by law. This period of retention may be different if required by law, or if we need to retain data to respond to claims, to protect our rights or the rights of a third party.

Third Party Websites and Mobile Applications We are not responsible for the privacy policies, content or security of any linked third-party websites or mobile applications. We recommend that you check the privacy and security policies of each and every website and mobile application that you visit. In some instances, a third party may operate or host a contest/sweepstakes on our websites or mobile applications and collect your Personal Data. In those cases, where we are not the operator or host of the contest/sweepstakes, we have no control over the Personal Data collected and accordingly urge you to review the third party’s privacy policy before participating.
Minors Our Services are neither directed at nor intended for use by children under the age of 16 in the US.

If we learn that we have inadvertently done so, we will promptly delete such Personal Data if required by law. Do not access or use the Services if you are not of the age of majority in your jurisdiction unless you have the consent of your parent or guardian. Minors’ images and likenesses may be collected via CCTV footage as part of the provision of security at Venues. These security practices enable the Venues to present events safely and do not target minors. Notices regarding any recording are posted on site at the Venues, and ticket purchasers and ticket holders’ consent to this collection when they purchase or use tickets and/or enter the Venues.

Canadian Rights and Disclosures Consent
Wherever possible, ASM Global seeks a person’s consent before collecting their personal information. The form of that consent, either express or implied, might vary depending on the circumstances and the type of information being collected. Consent may be provided directly by the individual or by a representative. Express consent can be given orally, electronically or in writing. While express consent is preferred, implied consent may in some cases be reasonably inferred from a person’s actions or inactions. For example, when an individual provides their name and email address for a ticket purchase, their consent to the use for that purpose is implied. When determining the appropriate form of consent, we also consider the sensitivity of the information, the reasons it is being collected, and what a reasonable person’s expectations would be in the circumstance.
It may not always be possible to obtain a person’s consent before we collect, use, or disclose their information. We may use personal information without your consent if it is: for the same purpose for which the information was originally collected or is consistent with the original purpose.
Your Rights Subject to certain exceptions as prescribed by law, you have the right to access, update, and correct inaccuracies in your personal information and to withdraw your consent to our collection of your personal information. If you request that your information, be corrected due to an inaccuracy and we determine that disputed information is actually correct, we will make a note regarding the disputed accuracy of the information but may not change the information.
We will respond to requests within 30 days and may extend the time by an additional 30 days where needed to conduct consultation or convert the Personal Information into an acceptable format.
