Event Management & Ticketing
Liability Check
Event Management companies are collecting Personal Data from every attendee – from names and emails to payment details and even health information. This data isn't just for entry; it's a massive DPDP liability.
Why Event Management & Ticketing is at Risk
From the moment an attendee registers for an event in Bengaluru Tech Park or buys a concert ticket via BookMyShow, their **personal data** is collected. Event organizers often share attendee lists with sponsors, artists, and third-party vendors (like catering or logistics) without explicit consent. A data breach involving thousands of festival-goers' details isn't just a PR nightmare; it's a direct route to **DPDP penalties**. You are responsible for every piece of **Data Principal** information, even if handled by your ticketing partner.
Common Violations
- 1.Sharing attendee email lists with event sponsors or partners for promotional purposes without separate, specific consent.
- 2.Storing sensitive information (like dietary restrictions, medical conditions for marathons) indefinitely after the event without a clear retention policy.
- 3.Using generic 'I agree to T&C' for data processing that includes marketing, analytics, and third-party sharing, without granular consent options.
The Immediate Fix
Review your consent forms and privacy policy. Ensure distinct, opt-in consent is obtained for marketing and third-party sharing. Implement a clear data retention policy for all event-specific data immediately after the event concludes.
