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. 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 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.

- Contact details – including your name, gender, email address, phone number, ID, postal address, and date of birth. 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. 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.
- Payment card and billing details – when you buy tickets via the DICE Platform, we will need your payment and billing information (such as your address and postcode) so we can handle the processing and despatch of ticket orders;

You can turn off the App's ability to access your geolocation at any time through your device’s general or privacy settings;
- Your image or recordings – we might get photographs, audio or video recordings of events listed on the DICE Platform. We may reproduce and/or publish your image, or share this with the Event Partner to reproduce and/or publish (as part of a general photograph of an event) on the DICE Platform and in other promotional materials, social networking channels and other materials related to the DICE Platform;
- Your preferences – we may collect information about your purchase history, events you have viewed, attended or enquired about, any events you have joined a waiting list for, shared or invited people to attend and any feedback you may give or reviews you may submit;
- Music library (e.g. Spotify or Apple Music) – if you allow us to connect to your music library, we may collect and hold information on your musical interests so we can improve the personalised recommendations through the DICE Platform and invite you to artists special experiences;
- Your interactions with us – for example if you send us information via email, survey, social media, customer service communications or other methods, this may be stored on our systems; and
- Technical information – when you use the DICE Platform, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser or mobile platform, including the location, IP address, strictly necessary cookie information and details about the page you requested. We also collect information regarding your use of the DICE Platform, mobile device information and browser information.

- administer the App and the Services or any other purposes required in order to allow us to provide the Services;
- communicate with you via email, SMS, in-App notifications and push notifications about your purchases via the Services, including tickets (and the events they relate to) and any other non-ticket items;
- fulfil your orders for tickets and other non-ticket items purchased via the Services;
- provide better content, services, marketing, and support to you. For example, we may need to use your information to administer your account or provide you with information in connection with any purchases or events you have expressed an interest in;
- perform our contract with Event Partners and/or Artists;
- provide information in relation to the Services;

- to profile individual and demographic trends of people attending or showing an interest in certain events or artists. This helps us to provide you with recommendations of similar things you might like or find interesting, via the Discovery feature or otherwise. We do this by making assumptions based on an analysis of the information we hold, including the events you have viewed, waiting lists you have joined, and tickets you have purchased. For example, if you purchased tickets to an event, we might show you more events of this specific genre or type, or events by similar artists. In a similar way, we may share your email address with social media providers and search engines to show you and other audiences more relevant ads on social media you are member of and search engines you use.
- Other users at DICE. Any DICE users with your phone number will be able to see whether you have an account with DICE when using certain features, such as sending tickets to a friend.

- to provide customer service, including to respond to your enquiries and fulfil any of your requests for information;

- to send you important information regarding the Services, or other technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages;
- for the purposes of MIO account access (as further described in the MIO User Guidelines); and
