United States Privacy Policy for Event Partners

This policy was last updated on 6 August 2024.

Please read this privacy policy if you use the DICE mobile software application (the “App”), or the DICE website (together with the App, the “DICE Platform”) in the USA. 

As well as to users of the DICE Platform, this privacy policy also applies to any other individuals whose data we may process, except for our employees, candidates, event partners and/or artists. If you are under these data subjects’ categories, please check out the relevant privacy policy for you, which you can find here.

This privacy policy explains how DICE Group (“DICE”, “we” or “us”) uses your personal information to provide  the DICE Platform. If you have any questions about this privacy policy, feel free to contact us at [e-mail]. Occasionally, we might need to update this policy, and will let you know of any updates in the Help Centre on the DICE Platform. If we make any changes to the way we use your personal information, we will let you know by posting a notice on the DICE Platform or sending you an email at the email address provided at the time you registered.

1. ABOUT US

1.1 DICE comprises various group companies, including DICE FM Holdings Ltd and DICE FM UK Ltd (100 De Beauvoir Road, London N1 4EN UK), Boiler Room (UK) Limited , DICE FM, Inc. (USA), DICE FM SPAIN S.L.U (Spain), DICE FM SASU (France), DICE FM Italy S.R.L (Italy), DICE FM GmbH (Germany), DICE FM Australia Pty Ltd (Australia), and DICE FM India Private Limited (India)(the “DICE Group”).

1.2. We are a disclosed ticketing agent selling tickets via the DICE Platform on behalf of promoters, organizers, managers, artists and venues of music, entertainment, sports and similar events (the “Event Partners”).

2. OVERVIEW

2.1. This privacy policy explains how we use your personal information and other data we collect when you use the DICE Platform.

3. COLLECTED INFORMATION

3.1. To help us manage your registration and ticket sales, we will process and store all personal information you give when you register on the DICE Platform, and any personal information which is generated when you navigate and use the DICE Platform. We also use this information to analyze trends in your behavior as this helps us to determine your preferences, habits, tastes, geographic location and favorite artists and events, which will maximize your use and enjoyment of the DICE Platform; this is the Discovery feature. We might also take some information from email communications between you and DICE and store this in separate documents. To find out more about how we use your personal information, see Clause 6 below.

3.2. The types of personal information we collect may include:

1. Contact details – including your name, 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 organizer needs to contact attendees. DICE will store this information up to 30 days after the event. Please note that the organizer may have defined a different retention period, so please contact them or check their privacy policy for more information.
2. 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 dispatch of ticket orders;
3. Location data – we may collect your IP address, and if you allow us to connect to your device’s geolocation functionality, we may collect your GPS data. We will use the location data to improve personalized recommendations on the DICE Platform on what events are taking place near you. You can turn off the App's ability to access your geolocation at any time through your device’s general or privacy settings;
4. 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 (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;
5. 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;
6. 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 personalized recommendations through the DICE Platform;
7. 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
8. 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.

5. USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

5.1. As well as the purposes described above at Clause 4.1, we use your personal information to:

1. run the DICE platform or any other purposes required in order to allow us to provide the DICE Platform to you;
2. communicate with you via email, SMS, in-App notifications and push notifications about your purchases on the DICE Platform, including tickets (and the events they relate to) and any other non-ticket items;
3. fulfil your orders for tickets and other non-ticket items purchased via the DICE Platform;
4. 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;
5. run and provide any competitions available to you via the DICE Platform and communicate with you about those competitions. If entering into a competition, please read the terms and conditions relating to that competition as these may include specific terms regarding your personal data; and
6. to profile individual and demographic trends of events you attend or interest you show in certain events and artists. This helps us to provide 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.

5.2. We also use information that we collect about you to for operational purposes, including:

1. to provide customer service, including to respond to your enquiries and answer any of your requests for information;
2. carry out verification checks, including to verify your identity when collecting tickets at a venue, to check that you meet any minimum age requirements, or to check that any restrictions on the reselling of tickets have been complied with;
3. to send you important information regarding our services, or other technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages;
4. for the purpose of MIO account access (as further described in the MIO User Guidelines); and
5. as we believe to be necessary or appropriate under any applicable law, to enforce our rights or to respond to requests from law enforcement and any other government authorities.

5.3. As explained in Clause 3, we use your personal data on the following bases:

1. your consent;
2. as necessary to perform a contract that you have entered;
3. in our (or an Event Partner’s or other third parties) reasonable interests, including to improve the performance of the DICE Platform and in order to enhance your experience of the DICE Platform; and/or
4. to comply with a legal obligation.

5.4. Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data (e.g. marketing), you can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us at [e-mail] or in any other way explained t in this privacy policy. If you withdraw your consent, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing which took place before your withdrawal.

6. MARKETING

If you change your mind about receiving any marketing emails from us, you can edit your preferences in the communication controls center in App (called ‘Messages’) or unsubscribe from emails by following the unsubscribe directions provided in the footer of each one. If you do not want to receive push notifications from us, you can opt out by changing your preferences in the ‘Messages’ control center in the App or change the appropriate settings directly on your mobile device. To access the communication controls center (‘Messages’) you must have the App version 3.17.0 or above.

6.2. Where you opt out of receiving these marketing communications, we may still process your personal data for other required purposes, as explained in Clauses 5 and 6 above.

If you opt in to such marketing messages, we will pass your details, such as email address, city or full residence, full name and date of birth to the relevant Event Partner or third party so that they can contact you for this purpose. If you change your mind and do not want to receive such marketing messages, you can opt out by contacting that third party directly or by unsubscribing using any available ‘unsubscribe’ link or similar in that third party’s emails to you. Alternatively, to opt out of marketing messages from all third parties, you could edit your preferences in the communication controls center in the App (called ‘Messages’). We will notify the relevant third parties of your change in preferences, normally within 7 business days. Note that it may take longer for each third party to action your request.

7. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

1. Agents and suppliers – We employ other companies/individuals to perform functions on our behalf, for example  our payment processing suppliers and data analytics services providers. We do not share your personal information with our agents or suppliers except as is necessary to enable them to provide us with a service.

We may disclose your personal data to the following categories of third-party recipients:

Recipient category	Explanation
Hosting	We may share your personal data with cloud storage providers.
Analytic tools	We may share your personal data with analytics and search engine service providers.
Administration and support tools	We may share your personal data with support software providers.

We may share your personal information with our competition partner to allow them to administer the competition (e.g. arranging for the prize to be provided to the winner).

4. Event Partners – We are a ticketing agent, so we sell you tickets to events on behalf of the Event Partner for that event. So, we need to share your personal details with them and other parties involved in the provision of the event (such as the venue) so they can provide you with information about the event such as last-minute changes, or for the purposes of ticket validation when you enter a venue. We may also need to share your information with them in terms of sales control. Event partners can access customer information such as name, email address, ID, country of origin and a phone number, and we may share this information with them if this is needed for them to comply with any legal requirements or obligations that they are subject to. We are not responsible or liable for the actions of any third parties, and if you wish to complain about the use of your personal information by any third party then you should contact them directly.

5. Artists - If you follow an artist using the App, we may also share your information with them. We are not responsible or liable for the actions of any third parties, and if you wish to complain about the use of your personal information by any third party then you should contact them directly.

6. Other reasons – We may also share your personal information with a purchaser or potential purchaser of our business and in some circumstances, we may have to disclose your personal information by law, either because a court or the police or other law enforcement agency has asked us for it, to enforce our legal rights, or to prevent fraud or ticket-touting for example.

7.2. We may also provide our partners with anonymous information about how users, collectively, use the App and website so that they can understand how often people use their services, the App and the website.

7.3. By providing us with personal information, you consent to the disclosure of your information outside the US and acknowledge that we are not required to ensure that overseas recipients handle that personal information in compliance with US federal data protection laws. You acknowledge that some overseas third parties may not be regulated by US data protection laws and if any third party engages in any act or practice that contravenes these laws, it would not be accountable under US legislation and you will not be able to seek redress under US data protection laws.

8. INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER INDIVIDUALS

1. provide their personal information to us;

3. give consent to the transfer of their personal data abroad.

Using these criteria, we regularly review the personal data which we hold and the purposes for which it is held and processed. Once processing has been completed, we may securely delete or anonymize your personal data.
