Your Data, Protected

Privacy Policy

We believe in full transparency about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

Last updated: February 11, 2025

Encrypted & Secure

All data is encrypted in transit (SSL/TLS) and at rest. Strict security policies ensure your data stays yours.

Full Transparency

We only collect what we need, and we tell you exactly how it is used. No hidden tracking, no surprises.

You're in Control

Access, export, or delete your data at any time. Manage your preferences whenever you want.

At Tickseats ("we," "us," or "our"), we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our ticket platform and related services.

Data Controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data is 77SV LLC, registered in Wyoming, United States. For any privacy-related inquiries, you can reach us at support@tickseats.com.

Platform Improvement

Consent

Analyze anonymous usage patterns to improve our platform, fix issues, and develop new features that enhance your experience.

About our legal bases: "Contractual necessity" means we need this processing to fulfil our agreement with you. "Legitimate interest" means we have a justified business reason (e.g., fraud prevention, improving our services) that does not override your rights. "Consent" means we only process after you explicitly agree — and you can withdraw consent at any time.

We never sell your personal data. We only share data with the following service providers to operate our platform.

Supabase

Database, authentication, storage, and real-time services

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Tickseats, our users, or the public.

4. Data Storage & Security

We implement industry-standard measures to keep your data safe.

Infrastructure

All data is stored securely in our database with end-to-end encryption in transit (SSL/TLS), encryption at rest, and strict access control policies ensuring data isolation between users.

Authentication Security

We use secure authentication with PKCE flow for session management. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. Session tokens are automatically refreshed and securely handled.

Payment Security

Card details are tokenized and processed directly by Stripe — we never store your full card number on our servers. All payment data is handled in compliance with PCI standards.

Access Controls

Only authorized personnel have access to sensitive data. All database access is governed by strict security policies. We regularly review and audit our access controls.
