The Personal Data we may collect includes:
Our mobile applications may or may not include location-based services, including on-site services at events. To provide such location-based services through mobile applications, we collect, use and share precise location data, including the real-time geographic location of your mobile device. If you permit one of our mobile apps to access location services through the permission system used by your mobile operating system, we may collect the precise location of your device when the app is running in the foreground or background. Using your mobile device settings, you can control the location information you share.
Whenever you interact with the Service, we may automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, device identification information, Cookie information, the type of browser and/or device you’re using to access the Service, and the page or feature you requested (“Usage Data”). We may also transfer small files to your browser or device (“Cookies”) that allow us to collect certain information. We also use third-party services to collect usage information to better understand and improve the user experience. Usage information collected using third-party services is stored on the servers of the third-party service providers.
In conjunction with Organizer’s use of the Service, Organizer may, through its own channels, collect additional information from you including but not limited to your name, email address, phone number, physical address, credit/payment card numbers and expiration dates, credit card security codes and your birthday. All the information collected by Organizer shall be referred to herein as (“Organizer Collected Personal Data”) and should be distinguished from Personal Data collected by EventBank.

Organizer Collected Personal Data will be subject to the Organizer’s own privacy policies and any applicable laws.
We allow Organizers to use our email tools to contact their consumers for the Organizers’ events, so you may receive emails from our system that originate with such Organizers and that we send on their behalf. If you registered for an event on the Service, your email address is available to that Organizer. However, Organizers may also import email addresses they have from external sources and send communications through the Service to those email addresses, and we will deliver those communications to those email addresses on the Organizer's behalf. You can opt-out of receiving certain types of promotional and marketing emails – but in such case you may not receive the full benefit of the Service. Opting-out can be done under the Subscription function following the instruction.
EventBank may use your Personal Data for purposes including the following:
We may also contract with third-party advertising networks that collect IP addresses and other information from web beacons on our websites, from emails and on third-party websites. Advertising networks may follow your online activities over time and across different websites or other online services by collecting device and usage data through automated means, including through the use of Cookies. These technologies may recognize you across the different devices you use, such as a desktop or laptop computer, smartphone or tablet. Third parties use this information to provide advertisements about products and services tailored to your interests. You may see their advertisements on other websites or mobile applications on any of your devices. This process also helps us manage and track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
Aggregated Personal Data.
In an ongoing effort to understand and serve our Users better, we often conduct research on our customers’ demographics, interests and behavior based on Personal Data that we have collected. This research is typically conducted on an aggregate basis only that does not identify you. Once Personal Data is in an aggregated form, for purposes of this Privacy Policy, it is no longer Personal Data.
If we intend to use any Personal Data in any manner that is not consistent with this Privacy Policy, you will be informed of such anticipated use prior to or at the time the Personal Data is collected, and we will obtain your consent for any such use.
We will not share your Personal Data with companies, organizations or individuals other than EventBank and its affiliates, except in the following circumstances:
We may anonymize your Personal Data so that you are not individually identified, and provide that information to our partners. We may also provide aggregate usage information to our partners, who may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use the Service, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal online experience. However, we will never disclose aggregate information to any third party in a manner that would identify you personally, as an individual.
Except for the purposes described above, we will not transfer your Personal Data to any company, organization or individual, except in the following circumstances:
We will disclose your Personal Data to the public only under the following circumstances:
Pursuant to applicable laws, sharing and transfer of aggregated data which cannot be recovered by the recipient to re-identify individual Personal Data does not constitute sharing, transfer and disclosure of Personal Data, and therefore it may be stored and processed without notice to you and without your consent.
If you are a registered user of the Service, we provide you with tools to access or modify your Personal Data and other profile information.
Subject to the limitations of applicable laws, where processing Personal Data is necessary for entering into or performing our obligations under a contract with you or is processed with your consent, you may request that your Personal Data be transferred to you or another designated party (where technically feasible).
To the extent you have authorized us to collect and process your Personal Data, you may withdraw that authorization by deleting information, turning off device functions, or changing privacy settings on our website or in our software. You may also stop using the Service so that we cannot continue collecting your Personal Data. Please note that some parts of the Service may not function properly if you remove our authorization to collect your Personal Data. For any Personal Data that you have authorized the Organizers directly, you should contact the Organizers to withdraw such authorization.
We take various precautions to protect your Personal Data from loss, misappropriation and misuse, and from being accessed, disclosed, modified or destroyed without permission. In order to ensure the safety of your Personal Data, we have established strict information security provisions and procedures to protect your Personal Data.
In the event of any Personal Data security breach, we will, in accordance with the requirements of applicable laws and in all cases within 30 days, notify you of the basic information and possible consequences of such security breach, actions we have taken or will take in response to the breach, suggestions on how you may prevent and reduce risks on your own, and actions we will take on your behalf. We will notify you of the relevant information through email, letter, phone, or push notification, or by publishing an announcement to www.eventbank.com/www.eventbank.cn/www.eventbank.ru. Any such notice will be issued in compliance with all applicable laws.
These facilities are either operated by EventBank or our third-party providers. By using the Service, you are consenting to have this data stored, transferred and processed according to this Privacy Policy.
EventBank is a global company. Subject to applicable laws, we may transfer your Personal Data to any EventBank affiliate worldwide when processing that data for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We may also transfer your Personal Data to our third party service providers, who may be located in a country or area outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
Under California Civil Code Sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents may request a notice identifying the categories of Personal Data that we share with our affiliates and/or third parties for marketing purposes, and be provided with contact information for such affiliates and/or third parties. If you are a California resident and would like a copy of this notice, please submit a written request to: support@eventbank.com.
Personal Data Retention/Rights: We retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to provide you with the Service, comply with applicable laws, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. If you have an account with us, we will typically retain your Personal Data for a period of 90 days after you have requested that your account is closed, or for up to seven years after your account becomes inactive but is not closed.
Data protection laws provide you with rights in respect to Personal Data that we hold about you, including the right to request a copy of the Personal Data, the right to request that we rectify, restrict or delete your Personal Data, and the right to unsubscribe from marketing communications.
You can exercise these rights by contacting us using the contact information set out in Section 12.
If you have a complaint about how we handle your Personal Data, please contact us as set forth in Section 12. If you are not happy with how we have attempted to resolve your complaint, you may contact the relevant data protection authority.
EventBank as a Data Controller and a Data Processor:
EU data protection law distinguishes between organizations that process Personal Data for their own purposes (known as "data controllers") and organizations that process personal data on behalf of other organizations or individuals (known as "data processors"). If you have any questions or complaints about how your Personal Data is handled, these should always be directed to the relevant data controller since they are the ones with primary responsibility for your Personal Data.
EventBank may act as either a data controller or a data processor with respect to your Personal Data, depending on the circumstances. We will be a data controller of any information you submit to us in order to create a User account or an Organizer account. However, once a User submits Personal Data to an Organizer in conjunction with use of the Services, EventBank becomes a data processor with respect to the Organizer Collected Personal Data.
This Privacy Policy was last updated on the date set forth at the top of this Privacy Policy. We will alert you to any future updates to this Privacy Policy by placing a notice on www.eventbank.com/www.eventbank.cn/www.eventbank.ru, by sending you an email, by notifying you when you logon to the Service, and/or by some other means. We will also edit the date at the top of this policy to reflect the date of the changes. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), our legal notices (including this Privacy Policy) will still govern your use of the Service, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. Use of Personal Data we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such Personal Data is collected. If you use the Service after any updated Privacy Policy has been posted, that means that you agree to all the changes made with respect to all Personal Data, whether collected previously or in the future.
We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 14. If you are under 14, please do not attempt to register for the Service or send any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 14, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 14 may have provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@eventbank.com.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding our privacy policies, please send us a detailed message by email to support@eventbank.com or by mail to:
You can delete your account by contacting the EventBank system administrator at support@eventbank.com. If a User initiates a data deletion request, to the extent permitted under applicable law, EventBank is authorized to delete or anonymize Personal Data of the requesting User from the Service. However, if you are a User, you understand that even if EventBank deletes or anonymizes your Personal Data upon your request or pursuant to this Privacy Policy, your Personal Data may still be available in the Organizer's own databases if transmitted to the Organizer prior to EventBank taking action to delete or anonymize your Personal Data.
Even after you remove information from your profile or delete your account, Personal Data may be retained by us on back-up servers indefinitely, subject to and in compliance with applicable laws. We may retain your Personal Data for a period of time consistent with the original purpose of collection. We determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data on the basis of the amount, nature and sensitivity of your Personal Data processed, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data and whether we can achieve the purposes of the processing through other means, as well as on the basis of applicable legal requirements (such as applicable statutes of limitation).
We may also indefinitely retain and use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Data, but not in a manner that would identify you personally.
