Area of application and roles
This privacy policy describes which personal data on:Tickets processes as a platform operator - in particular in connection with visiting the ontickets.de website, creating a buyer account, purchasing tickets and operating the organizer dashboard.
Intermediary model: on:Tickets is a ticketing platform through which event organizers sell tickets for their own events. Insofar as personal data is transmitted to the respective organizer so that they can fulfill the ticket purchase contract, the organizer is independently responsible within the meaning of the GDPR and has its own privacy policy.
If on:Tickets processes data on behalf of an organizer (e.g. for mailings initiated individually by the organizer), this is done on the basis of an order processing contract (AVV).
General information on data processing
We only process personal data insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional platform and our services or insofar as effective consent has been given.
The legal bases of our processing are in particular
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR - consent (e.g. cookies, newsletter); Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR - contract fulfillment and pre-contractual measures (e.g. ticket purchase, account registration); Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR - legal obligation (e.g. commercial and tax law retention); Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR - legitimate interest (e.g. IT security, bot protection, platform stability).
Storage period: Personal data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected and there are no legal obligations to retain it (in particular 6 or 10 years according to HGB/AO).
Provision of the website and log files
When ontickets.de is accessed, data is automatically transmitted to our servers and stored in server log files: IP address of the requesting device (shortened as far as possible for operation), date and time of access, URL accessed and referrer, HTTP status code and amount of data transferred, browser used, operating system and language version.
Purpose: technical provision of the website, defense against attacks, stability and error analysis. Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Storage period: usually a maximum of 14 days, unless security-related events require longer storage.
Buyer account and authentication
Anyone who creates an on:Tickets account or purchases tickets must provide at least the following data: E-mail address, first name and surname, telephone number if applicable, additional information required for event participation when purchasing tickets (e.g. address, additional guest data for personalized tickets).
Registration procedure: Magic Link - Registration via a one-time login link that is sent to the e-mail address provided. Tokens (hashed) and the time of sending are saved. Microsoft Entra SSO (optional) - single sign-on via Microsoft accounts of organizer organizations; name, e-mail, tenant ID are processed. Multi-factor authentication (TOTP) - when activated, an encrypted TOTP secret is stored in the account.
Purpose: secure authentication and protection of the account against unauthorized access. Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (contract fulfillment) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (account security).
Ticket purchase and organizer transfer
When a ticket is purchased, we process the following data to process the contract: order data (event, ticket category, number, price, service fee), buyer data (name, email, address if applicable, telephone number), guest data for each ticket in the case of personalized tickets and payment data (see section "Payment processing").
Transmission to the organizer: In order for the organizer to fulfill the ticket purchase contract (in particular admission, communication about the event, any refunds), we transmit the buyer and guest data to the respective organizer. From receipt of the data, the organizer is a data controller under data protection law.
Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Storage period: for the duration of the contractual relationship and for the subsequent retention period under commercial and tax law (regularly 10 years).
Payment processing
Payments are processed by external payment service providers. The data required for payment processing (e.g. cardholder, card number, IBAN, payment amount) is transmitted directly to the respective payment service provider and processed there. on:Tickets generally only receives a confirmation of the status of the payment and a pseudonymized transaction ID.
Payment service providers used: Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd, Dublin, Ireland (credit card, SEPA, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Stripe Connect - payment to event organizers); PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., Luxembourg (payment via PayPal).
When paying by invoice, prepayment or SEPA direct debit (B2B / collective invoices), contact details and bank details are processed for invoicing and posting.
Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR (statutory record-keeping obligations).
E-mail dispatch (tickets, notifications, transaction e-mails)
We send transactional emails (order confirmations, tickets, Magic Link logins, refund confirmations, notices from the organizer, etc.) as part of the platform operation.
It is primarily sent via Microsoft Azure Communication Services (ACS Email), alternatively via Microsoft Graph API. Provider: Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland.
Dispatch status (recipient, sender, timestamp, status, message ID) is logged in our system to diagnose delivery problems. Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Hosting, CDN and bot protection
Hosting: Our application is hosted on servers in the European Union (Germany).
