To the extent we share your data within the AEG Group, we make sure that your PII receives the same level of protection throughout the AEG Group. All AEG Group companies comply with applicable privacy and security laws and, at a minimum, in any commercial e-mail they send to you, will give you the opportunity to choose not to receive such e-mail messages in the future. Please note that such sharing may involve the collection use, storage, or disclosure of PII within Europe and the United States of America. PII will only be processed within the United States of America by corporations which comply with the U.S. ñ E.U. Safe Harbor Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
B. AXS Ticket Suppliers
Unless you opt-out of such communications, when you purchase a ticket to a specific event on our Site, your first name, last name, physical address, phone number and email address may be provided to the person or entity which supplies the tickets to AXS and on whose behalf we sell tickets which may include, without limitation, venues, promoters, producers, artists, teams and record labels (the "Ticket Supplier"). There may be more than one Ticket Supplier per event.
C. AXS service providers
By providing your Payment Information, you are authorizing us to give that information to third parties as necessary to confirm and fulfill your order (for example, to process your credit card or payment account number and to send you products you have ordered and to exchange information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction). When we do so, we apply payment industry standard encryption methods to maintain its security and use reasonable efforts to assure that they comply with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
We will share your PII with our service providers in order to fulfill your order. Outbox Enterprises UK Limited process transactions on behalf of Axs and your PII will be used and stored by them in either Europe and/or Canada and/or the United States in order to fulfill your order. Where we use a third party supplier to carry out specific business operations (e.g. a Customer Relations Management system, a market research company, a courier) we will share your PII with them for that purpose.
If you've ordered any additional goods or services through our Site such as ticket insurance or merchandise for an event, your information may be passed to the providers of such goods or services so they can process your transaction and provide you with the goods or services you've ordered.
Except as explained above, we will not share your financial information with any third parties without your prior consent.
D. Other Uses
In the event that we go through an existing or potential business transition, such as a merger, acquisition, liquidation or sale of all or a portion of our assets, customer information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.
Finally, we may, without your consent, access and disclose your personal information, any communications sent or received by you, and any other information that we may have about you as may be permitted or required by law, regulation, rule or court order pursuant to requests from governmental, regulatory or administrative agencies or law enforcement authorities; or to prevent, investigate, identify persons or organisations potentially involved in, or take any action regarding suspected fraud, violations of our Terms of Use and/or Additional Purchase Terms and Conditions, or activity that appears to us to be illegal or we believe may expose us to legal liability.
