All personal information you provide to us when registering with the Services, interacting with us, and any personal information generated by your navigation and use of the Services, will be processed and stored by DICE to manage registration and ticket sales, and carry out those other purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We also use this information to analyse trends in our users' behaviour to help us to determine your preferences, habits, tastes, geographic location and favourite artists and events in order to help maximise your use and enjoyment of the Services; this is the Discovery feature. Additionally, we may take some information from the email communications between you and DICE and store it in separate documents. Where you are an Artist or Event Partner, we may collect your personal information directly from you, your business partners, colleagues and open internet sources.

You will also have the option to add these details for each ticket holder of a ticket purchased via the DICE Platform (“Additional User Data”), giving DICE or our Event Partner the ability to contact each ticket holder after an event has occurred if it is required for public health reasons. This is a safety precaution in case the organiser needs to contact attendees. If you provide us with personal information of another person, you must have their permission to do so. DICE will store this information up to 30 days after the event. Please note that the organiser may have defined a different retention period, so please contact them or check their privacy policy for more information.
