Nevada law (NRS 603A.340) requires each business to establish a designated request address where Nevada consumers may submit requests directing the business not to sell certain kinds of personal information that the business has collected or will collect about the consumer. A sale under Nevada law is the exchange of personal information for monetary consideration by the business to a third party for the third party to license or sell the personal information to other third parties. Vivid Seats does not sell consumers’ personal information for monetary consideration to third parties for licensing or sale to other third parties. If you are a Nevada consumer and wish to submit an inquiry relating to our compliance with Nevada law, please contact us at privacy@vividseats.com.
If you provide personal information through our website, you agree that the personal information will be transferred to and processed in the United States of America and any other country or jurisdiction at our sole discretion. The laws that apply to the use and protection of personal information in the United States or other countries or jurisdictions in which we transfer or process personal information may be different than the laws and protections in your country. By using our website or app, you agree to the transfer and processing of your information in accordance with US law. In the event you wish to withdraw consent, please email privacy@vividseats.com to delete your account and then cease using our services. Those who access or use our website or mobile application from jurisdictions outside the United States do so at their own choice and risk and are solely responsible for compliance with local law. While we take certain steps to safeguard your personal information, please note that the United States has NOT been deemed by the European Commission to ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data. Accordingly, the level of safeguards and legal protections provided in the United States or other non-European countries from which you may access our website or mobile application may not be as stringent as that under European Union privacy standards or the privacy laws of some other countries, possibly including your home jurisdiction.
We will treat all data received from the EU in accordance with privacy shield principles. Vivid Seats participates in the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks and complies with the associated requirements regarding collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the EU and Switzerland to the United States. For the avoidance of doubt, Vivid Seats' adherence to the Privacy Shield framework does not apply to any human resources data. To learn more about Privacy Shield, and to see our certification, please visit www.privacyshield.gov/. Vivid Seats is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission and may be held liable in cases of onward transfers of data received from the EU to third parties.
If you are a resident of the European Union, you may have certain rights under European data protection law with respect to your personal data, including the right to request access to, correct, amend, delete, limit the use of, or withdraw your consent for the processing of your personal data. You may also have the right to receive a copy of your personal data in a commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit such data to another controller. To request deletion of, access to, or to make changes to data, or to otherwise exercise any of your rights in this paragraph, email us at privacy@vividseats.com. Please remember that if you delete or limit the use of your personal data, you may not be able to use the services provided through our website or mobile application.
In the event you have a dispute or complaint with respect to your personal data, you are entitled to invoke binding arbitration. Please visit www.icdr.org/privacyshield for more information and to file a complaint. Unresolved privacy complaints under the Privacy Shield Framework may be referred to the International Centre for Dispute Resolution at the America Arbitration Association.
We may make changes to this Policy, and may apply any changes to information previously collected, as permitted by law. When we make material changes to this Policy, we will notify you by posting the updated Policy on our website, and we will update the effective date at the top of this Policy prior to the change becoming effective.
