This Privacy Policy was last updated on May 20, 2024

For the purposes of this privacy policy and applicable data protection legislation, the data controller is Flokk Technologies OÜ. You can contact us at the “Contact us” section below. Please read this privacy policy carefully to understand how your personal data is gathered, processed and stored.

Flokk Technologies OÜ respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information and keeping this information secure.

This Privacy Policy describes and outlines how Flokk Technologies OÜ collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal information in connection with the use of the Service.

Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract (e.g., the processing of ticket bookings on behalf of the Provider or storing your information if you choose to join a waitlist for an event) and legitimate interest (e.g., storage or IP Addresses for risk management or Cookies to allow full access to our Service, or even for anonymous research such as industry analyses).

Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to you if you are a Customer who has sourced a ticket or voucher from an event organiser (“Provider”) who uses our Tour Operator Booking Software. In such circumstances, we process Customers’ personal information solely on the Provider’s behalf (as their “processor”) and the Provider has the legal responsibility to tell Customers how their personal information will be collected and used. For such data, we shall merely act as a data processor, and the Provider shall then be the data controller.

Please take a moment to review this policy in detail (together with our Terms of use of Service for Customers). As you will see, it explains our privacy practices and covers the following areas:
