4. OUR LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The laws in some jurisdictions require companies to tell you about the legal ground they rely on to use or disclose your “personal data” as such term is defined under applicable law. To the extent that those laws apply, our legal grounds are as follows:

• To honor our contractual commitments to you: Much of our processing of personal data is to meet our contractual obligations to our customers, or to take steps at customers’ requests in anticipation of entering into a contract with them. For example, we handle personal data on this basis to provide you with tickets that you have purchased to our events.
• Consent: Where required by law, and in some other cases, we handle personal data on the basis of your implied or express consent. For example, we process personal data to send marketing communications or communications regarding purchases or reservations you have made, or to customize content that we or our service providers display.
• Legitimate interests: In many cases, we handle personal data on the ground that it furthers our legitimate interests in ways that are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected individuals, such as to fulfill customer service requests, market our services to you, protect our users, personnel and property, detection and prevention of fraud and other security incidents, auditing customer interactions on our Site, bug detection and error reporting, improve our existing services and develop new services and analyze and improve the Platform.
• Legal compliance: We use and disclose personal data in certain ways to comply with our legal obligations. For example, maintaining legally required records regarding customer transactions and fraud prevention.

8. NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

If you are a California resident, California law requires us to provide you with some additional information regarding how we collect, use, and disclose your “personal information” as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

We describe the categories of information we collect, our business purposes for collecting such information, the sources and uses of such information and the entities with which we disclose such information in the “Information We Collect”, “How We Use Your Information,” and “When We Disclose Your Information” sections of this Privacy Policy.  We provide additional information required by the CCPA below.

1. Categories of Personal Information we collect, use and disclose

Throughout this Policy, we discuss in detail the types of Information we collect from and about users and discuss how we use and disclose such information.  The following are the “categories” of personal information under the CCPA that we collect from California consumers and that we may, as discussed throughout this Policy, use and disclose for our business purposes:

Identifiers (such as name, address, email address); commercial information (such as transaction data); financial data (such as credit card information); device identifiers (such as IP address and unique device identifiers); internet or other network or device activity (such as browsing history or app usage); general geolocation data from IP addresses; biometric information that may be collected when visiting our venue; audio or visual information; physical characteristics, such as if you voluntarily submit a photo or video; characteristics of potentially protected classifications, such as gender; any user-generated content or feedback that you provide; professional or employment related data; and categories of information considered “sensitive” under California law (such as precise geolocation and biometric information).

1. How we use these categories of personal information.

We and our service providers may use the categories of personal information we collect from and about you for the following business and commercial purposes (as those terms are defined in applicable law).

• Our or our service providers’ operational purposes;
• Auditing consumer interactions on our site (e.g., measuring ad impressions);

• Improving our existing Services and developing new services (e.g., by conducting research to develop new products or features);
• Other uses that advance our commercial or economic interests, such as third-party advertising and communicating with you about relevant offers from third party partners;
• Other uses about which we notify you.

Examples of these types of uses are discussed in our main privacy policy in the “How We Use Your Information” section.  We may also use the categories of personal information for compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and we may combine the information we collect (“aggregate”) or remove pieces of information (“de-identify”) to limit or prevent identification of any user or device. We may also disclose this information to third parties for legal, compliance or security purposes, or in connection with a business transfer, as described further in “When We Disclose Your Information” above.

1. Sale/Sharing of Personal Information and Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information

The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that “sell” personal information or “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. Under the CCPA, “sale” and “sharing” are defined such that they may include allowing third parties to receive certain information for advertising purposes.  We “sell” or “share” the following categories of information to third-party advertising partners and vendors that support our advertising efforts (such as advertising analytics services):

Identifiers (such as name, address, email address); commercial information (such as transaction data); internet or other network or device activity (such as browsing history and usage information).

If you would like to opt out of our use of your information for such purposes that are considered a “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes under California law, please email us at info@lindenlosangeles.com. Alternatively, if you have a legally-recognized browser-based opt out preference signal turned on via your device browser, we recognize such preference in accordance with applicable law. Please note that we do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

Please note, in the limited circumstances that we process sensitive personal information as defined in the CCPA, we do not use or disclose it other than for disclosed and permitted business purposes for which there is not a right to limit under the CCPA.

1. Additional Privacy Rights

In addition to the rights section before in section D above, California residents may make certain requests about their personal information under the CCPA as set forth in Rights Regarding Your Information above.

California residents can also designate an authorized agent to make access and or deletion requests on their behalf. In order for an authorized agent to be verified, you must provide the authorized agent with signed, written permission to make such requests or a power of attorney. We may also follow up with you to verify your identity before processing the authorized agent’s request.

We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request for access and/or deletion from you or your designated agent.  If we are unable to verify you, we may be unable to respond to your requests.

The CCPA further provides you with the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising your rights.

Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under California law.  For example, we need certain information in order to provide the Services to you.

If you are a California resident and would like to exercise any of your legal rights under the CCPA, you can fill out the webform here or email us at info@lindenlosangeles.com with your name and type of request you are making. You may also call our phone number at 1-323-244-2700.

Do Not Track

9. SECURITY AND RETENTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

We have implemented administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and or alteration of your information.  These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect and store.  However, we cannot and do not guarantee that these measures will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your information since despite our efforts, no Internet and or other electronic transmissions can be completely secure.

We generally retain personal data for so long as it may be relevant to the purposes above.  In determining how long to retain information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, the purposes for which we process the information, applicable legal requirements, and our legitimate interests. The purposes for which we process information (as well as the other factors listed above) may dictate different retention periods for the same types of information. For example, we retain a record of your purchase of a ticket to the event until the event occurs and for an additional period of time after that for our legitimate interests and for our fraud and legal compliance purposes.  If you opt out of email marketing, we maintain your email on our suppression list for an extended time to comply with your request. To dispose of your information, we may anonymize it, delete it or take other appropriate steps.  Data may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for additional time.

10. INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN

The Services are not directed to children under the age of 16. If we discover we have received any “personal information” (as defined under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) from a child under the age of 13 in violation of this Policy, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information as quickly as possible.  If you believe we have any information from or about anyone under the age of 16, please contact us at the address listed below.

For residents of the UK or EEA, where processing of personal information is based on consent, we will not knowingly engage in that processing for users under the age of consent established by applicable data protection law.  If we learn that we are engaged in that processing with such users, we will halt such processing and will take reasonable measures to promptly remove applicable information from our records.
