Eventonite Privacy Policy

Effective date: 9 November 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Eventonite processes personal data, in line with Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, "GDPR").

1. Who we are

Eventonite is a ticketing platform for the music scene. Organizers (clubs, promoters, concert organizers and festivals) pay a flat subscription to use it. Ticket money is paid directly into the organizer's own Stripe account; Eventonite never holds it.

Controller: Tokolics Attila ev. (Hungarian sole proprietor)
Seat: 8481 Somlóvásárhely, Vásár u. 12., Hungary

Registration number: 26437683 · Tax number: 65724473-1-39 · EU VAT number: HU65724473

Contact for privacy requests: support@eventonite.com

We have not appointed a data protection officer, as the law does not require one for our activity.

2. Our two roles

Eventonite as controller. We decide how and why data is processed for:

  • organizer accounts and team members,
  • visitors to our website and app, including the measurement of our own marketing (section 3.5),
  • billing of the Eventonite subscription,
  • the emails we send in our own name.

Eventonite as processor for ticket buyers and guests. When you buy a ticket for, or are put on the guest list of, an event sold through Eventonite, the organizer of that event is the controller of your data. We process that data only on the organizer's behalf and under their instructions, based on the data processing agreement that forms part of our Terms of Service (GDPR Article 28). This includes the Eventonite scanner app, which the organizer's door staff use to check tickets at the entrance: the app stores the event's ticket list (ticket holder names, ticket types and check-in status) on the staff member's device so that tickets can be checked without an internet connection, and uploads check-ins to us when the device is online. If you are a ticket buyer or guest, please contact the organizer of the event (their support email is shown on their event page and in your ticket email) to exercise your rights or ask questions. If you contact us, we will forward your request to the organizer. If the organizer uses their own Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or TikTok Pixel on their event pages, the organizer is the controller of that processing as well: we only load the scripts on the organizer's instruction, after your consent, and receive none of the data they collect (section 3.6 of our Cookie Policy).

Payments for tickets are handled by Stripe under the organizer's own Stripe account. Stripe processes card and payment data as the organizer's payment provider, not as our subprocessor. We never receive or store card data.

3. What data we process, why, and on what legal basis

Our website and app load their fonts from our own servers, not from Google. In the app and in the scanner app we use no analytics, advertising pixels, captcha or tracking tools. On our website we count visits with our own cookie-free analytics and, only with your consent, use Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel (section 3.5). Organizer event pages load third-party analytics or advertising pixels only if the organizer has enabled them and you have accepted them on that organizer's pages; the organizer is the controller of those (section 2).

3.5 Website analytics, advertising measurement and sign-up attribution

Data
Visitor statistics with Umami on our website: page address, referring website, screen size, language, and the IP address and browser details used to tell your device type and approximate country and to group page views into a visit; clicks on our sign-up buttons
Purpose
Understanding how our website is used, as totals
Legal basis
Art. 6(1)(f), our legitimate interest in understanding how our website is used (details in section 10)

Understanding how the website is used and which campaigns bring visitors
Legal basis
Art. 6(1)(a), your consent given in the cookie banner; you can withdraw it any time with "Cookie settings" in the footer
Data
Meta Pixel, only after you accept marketing cookies: your page views on our website, the _fbp and _fbc cookies, your IP address and browser; if you are logged in to Facebook or Instagram, Meta can link these to your account
Purpose
Measuring our ads on Facebook and Instagram
Legal basis
Art. 6(1)(a), your consent given in the cookie banner

Sign-up attribution stored with your account when you register: the sign-up button you clicked and the plan you chose (read from the address of the sign-up page, no cookie involved)

Purpose
Knowing which campaigns bring paying organizers
Legal basis
Art. 6(1)(a), consent: the cookie is set only after you accept analytics or marketing cookies in the banner
Data
Also stored with your account, only with your consent: with analytics consent, the Google Analytics visitor and session identifiers; with marketing consent, the Meta identifiers from the _fbp and _fbc cookies and the IP address and browser of your sign-up request; and a record of your cookie choice (what you accepted and when)
Purpose
Reporting your sign-up, trial start and first subscription payment to Google Analytics and Meta so that they can be attributed to the campaign; proving your consent

Purpose
Seeing in our ad accounts which campaigns bring paying organizers and what they pay, so we can spend our marketing budget well
Legal basis
Art. 6(1)(a), consent, for Meta and Google Analytics; Art. 6(1)(f), legitimate interest, for the Umami event

Nothing optional loads or is collected before you choose in the cookie banner, and "Necessary only" declines all of it. For the collection of data through the Meta Pixel and its transmission to Meta, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited are joint controllers under Meta's Controller Addendum (https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum); Meta is solely responsible for what it does with the data afterwards, as described in its privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy). Google Analytics processes data as our processor under the Google Ads Data Processing Terms (https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/); we have switched off Google Signals and the sharing of data with other Google products. The identifiers, IP address and browser details stored with your sign-up are deleted 90 days after your registration; the campaign labels, the clicked button and the chosen plan stay with your account data. We do not use any of this for automated decisions about you. Details of the cookies are in our Cookie Policy (https://eventonite.com/cookies).

4. Where the data comes from

Most data comes directly from you. Data about team members may come from the workspace owner who invites them. Ticket-buyer and guest data comes from the buyer or from the organizer who adds a guest. Payment-account verification (KYC) for organizers is collected directly by Stripe, not by us.

5. Recipients and subprocessors

We share personal data only with the service providers we need to run Eventonite:

The Google Analytics, Meta and TikTok pixels that organizers may use on their own event pages are the organizers' providers, not ours; we receive none of that data.

We may also disclose data to authorities where the law requires it. We do not sell personal data.

6. International transfers

Our hosting provider is an EU company (Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, Luxembourg), and our data is stored in its Frankfurt, Germany region. Its US parent company, Amazon Web Services, Inc., is covered by the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework certification of Amazon.com, Inc., so any transfer to it is covered by the European Commission's adequacy decision for the Framework (GDPR Art. 45). Stripe's US company, Stripe, Inc., is also certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Billingo is a Hungarian company and processes data in the EU. Google Fonts is provided by Google Ireland Limited; font requests may be served by Google LLC in the United States, which is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Google LLC (Google Analytics) and Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta Pixel and Conversions API) are also certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. You can check certifications at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov. The Framework was upheld by the General Court of the European Union in September 2025 (case T-553/23); an appeal is pending before the Court of Justice (case C-703/25 P). If the Framework is invalidated, we will rely on the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission that form part of our agreements with these providers (GDPR Art. 46(2)(c)), or stop the transfer. You can ask us for a copy of the relevant safeguards at support@eventonite.com.

8. Your rights

Under Articles 15-22 GDPR you have the right to:

  • access your data and receive a copy (Art. 15),
  • have inaccurate data rectified (Art. 16); you can also edit your name, email and newsletter preference in your account,
  • have your data erased (Art. 17),
  • restrict processing (Art. 18),
  • data portability (Art. 20),
  • object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21),
  • withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal (Art. 7(3)); for analytics and marketing cookies, use "Cookie settings" in the website footer.

Your right to object

  • Where we process your data on the basis of our legitimate interest (visitor statistics, server logs and session security data, the sign-up button and plan stored with your registration, preventing abuse of the free trial, and the onboarding emails from our founder), you can object at any time by emailing support@eventonite.com. We will then stop that processing unless we can show compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms (Art. 21(1)).

We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal or similarly significant effects for you (Art. 22).

To exercise your rights, email support@eventonite.com. We handle requests manually and respond without undue delay and within one month; where necessary we may extend this by two further months and will tell you why (Art. 12(3)). We may ask you to confirm your identity.

9. Right to lodge a complaint

You can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU country where you live or work, or where you think the infringement happened. In Hungary this is:

Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság (NAIH), Hungarian National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information
Address: 1055 Budapest, Falk Miksa utca 9-11, Hungary

Postal address: 1363 Budapest, Pf. 9.

Phone: +36 (1) 391 1400

Email: ugyfelszolgalat@naih.hu

Website: https://naih.hu

You can also go to court.

10. Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies and storage need no consent: the session cookie that keeps you logged in (eventonite-session, 24 hours or 14 days with "remember me", valid across eventonite.com and its subdomains), two app display preferences, your ticket selection on organizer event pages, the scanner app's offline ticket data, the cookie that stores your cookie choice, and Stripe's own cookies in the embedded component on the organizer Finances page. On our website a consent banner asks whether you accept Google Analytics (analytics) and the Meta Pixel (marketing); nothing optional loads before you choose, and you can change your choice at any time with "Cookie settings" in the footer. On organizer event pages the organizer's own pixels, if any, are asked for separately. The full list of cookies, their lifetimes and purposes is in our Cookie Policy.

Visitor statistics. On our website (the eventonite.com landing and product pages, not the app or organizer event pages) we use Umami, an open-source analytics tool that we run on our own server (analytics.creati.dev), hosted by Amazon Web Services in Frankfurt, Germany. It sets no cookies, does not track you across websites and does not run if your browser sends a Do Not Track signal. It records the page address, referrer, screen size and language, and uses your IP address and browser details to estimate your device type and approximate country and to group page views into a visit. Our analytics server may briefly log IP addresses for security purposes. We use these only as totals, never for advertising, and never link them to your account. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in understanding how our website is used (Art. 6(1)(f)). You can object under Art. 21 by writing to support@eventonite.com. When an organizer signs up, starts a trial or pays their first subscription, our server also reports this to Umami as an event with the campaign labels, the plan and the amount; the IP address and browser are included only with marketing consent, so the event can be grouped with the earlier visit. We keep the statistics for 12 months.

More details: Cookie Policy (https://eventonite.com/cookies).

11. Is providing data required?

Account, billing and invoice data are needed to conclude and perform the subscription contract and to meet our legal obligations; without them we cannot provide the service. The newsletter is optional. Analytics and marketing cookies are optional; declining them does not limit the service.

You must be at least 18 years old to create an Eventonite account. Eventonite is a service for businesses.

12. Security

We protect personal data with appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encrypted connections, hashed passwords, signed QR codes on tickets, hashed scanner access codes and access controls.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. We will publish the new version on this page with its effective date, and notify account holders by email of material changes.
