This privacy policy aims to clearly inform you as to which elements of your personal information we may access, for what purpose and how any personal data you provide is protected to the highest standards.

By using the EventGen.ie website, you are agreeing with the terms and procedures outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Data Protection Act compliance:

EventGen.ie fully complies with all relevant sections of the Data Protection Act.
Any information which is provided by you will be treated with the highest standards of security and confidentiality and in accordance with the terms of the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 and any implementing and / or amending legislation as may be adopted in Ireland from time to time.

General data collection and usage:

In general, EventGen.ie collects only the minimum level of customer information needed to:

  • support the customer’s use of functionality offered on the website.
  • provide a high-quality customer support, back-office and on-site service.
  • ensure the EventGen.ie website and underlying systems run correctly and smoothly.
  • support various promotional activities where the customer has agreed to receive them.

The majority of this data is only available to and for the use of appropriate EventGen.ie staff, subject to two necessary exclusions:

  • Promoters / Venues partnered with EventGen.ie:
    As EventGen.ie sells tickets on behalf of independent promoters and venues organising events, we must on occasion also share certain limited elements of your personal details with the event organiser. This is done to ensure customers who have chosen to collect their tickets at the venue box office can be validated or in several other possible circumstances.

    You acknowledge and agree that in certain circumstances we may be obliged to disclose certain elements of personal information relating to you to third parties, for example, in order to process your order or get authorisation from your bank.

We will disclose your personal information if we believe in good faith that we are required to disclose it in order to comply with any applicable law or other valid legal process.
