Ticketing, payments, and donations
We sell tickets for our own events through a ticketing system that runs on this website. The Mad Ones asbl is the data controller for the data it holds, and that data is stored on our hosting at Infomaniak, as described above.
When you buy a ticket, we record your name and email address, the event and the tickets ordered, the amount paid, and the reference numbers our payment provider returns. You may also give a name for an individual ticket. We use this to issue the tickets, to admit you to the event, and to reach you if the event changes.
Payments are processed by Stripe. Card details are entered in Stripe’s own payment form and never reach this website or our servers: we store only the references Stripe returns for the payment. Stripe states in its privacy policy that, depending on the context, it may act either as a data controller or a data processor / service provider.
Your tickets are sent to you by email, and the QR code on them is drawn on our own server rather than loaded from an outside image service, so opening the email does not report anything to a third party. At the door, we record that a ticket was scanned, for which day of the event, and by which member of our team.
At checkout you may tick a box to receive event updates by email. It is optional, it is never ticked for you, and buying a ticket without it does not add you to any list. Where you do tick it, you can withdraw that consent at any time through the unsubscribe link in any such email.
You can also make a donation without buying a ticket. A donation goes through the same payment provider, and we record the amount, the email address you give, and the payment reference. No ticket is issued and there is nothing to collect.
Some events may be hosted by a partner venue or third party using its own ticketing system, or tickets for a particular show may be sold through an external ticket shop. In those cases, the relevant venue’s, organiser’s or platform’s own terms, privacy policy, and ticketing conditions may also apply.
Tickets for events before we moved to our own system were sold through Ticket Tailor, and attendee data from those sales is still held there under that platform’s own terms. Ticket Tailor states that, for attendee data collected through an organiser’s box office, the organiser is the data controller and Ticket Tailor acts as the data processor.
