2. Individuals younger than 16 years
Persons who have not yet reached the age of 16 (minors) may only register for an MAZENATION Account with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. The parent(s) or legal representative of the minor user must read this Privacy and cookie statement in the interests of the minor user and can exercise the rights of the user in question instead of the minor user.

MAZENATION advises parents or legal guardians to supervise the use that a minor user makes of the Service and to make such users aware of how their Personal Data can be used on the basis of this Privacy and cookie statement. MAZENATIONmakes reasonable efforts, with due observance of technology, to check that only users aged 16 or older can create an MAZENATION Account. MAZENATION does this for example by means of a birth date check when a profile is created.
 
3. Which of your Personal Data are Processed by MAZENATION?
MAZENATION Processes the following of your Personal Data for the purposes explained later in this Privacy and cookie statement:
  • First Name;
  • Surname;
  • Email address;
  • Sex;
  • Date of birth;
  • Address;
  • Residence;
  • Telephone number;
  • Country; and
  • Preferences such as artist preference, event visit, music preference, clothing preference, clothing size and possibly geo-location only after explicit permission in an Optin of MAZENATION.
It is not the case that MAZENATION always uses all of your above-mentioned data. This depends on purposes as described later in this Privacy and cookie statement.

MAZENATION has deliberately chosen not to use special Personal Data such as race, ethnic origin, political opinions, religious convictions, union membership, orientation, health or criminal data.

4. How does MAZENATION obtain your Personal Data?
MAZENATIONobtains your Personal Data in the following ways:
Directly from you:
For example, if you sign up for a special campaign, ticket or promotion run by MAZENATION, if you send an e-mail or otherwise contact MAZENATION (for example with questions about the use of the Services).
As a result of using the Service:
By means of your registration, you have access to the Service. In addition, MAZENATION can also offer the Service to persons without a registration. If you give permission for this, MAZENATION can read and store the unique characteristics of the device that has been used in the context of the Service. Based on the MAZENATION Account and/or the unique features of the Device which you use to access the Service, MAZENATION can keep track of your use of the Service, including the Content that is watched, read, listened, commented or shared using the MAZENATION Account. Insofar as mobile Devices are used, the location of the Device is passed on to MAZENATION in the context of the Service. Prior to installation of such apps on a mobile device, you are explicitly requested to allow your location data to be determined and used.
 
From third parties:
For example, if you or another visitor of an MAZENATION website or app uses social network functions that are integrated in the Service, MAZENATION may receive certain information from the relevant social network, such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+. MAZENATION may also receive information from partners who are involved with the Service. For example, MAZENATION uses services provided by other parties that help it to map and analyse the way in which the Content and websites are used. An example of this is Google Analytics. This tool enables MAZENATION to monitor websites (where do you click and how often). Other examples are partners who on your behalf handle payment for the Service. Examples are iDeal, PayPal or Adyen, which handle the payment transactions between you and the services/products provided by MAZENATION.

5. What is the reason why MAZENATION Processes your Personal Information?
MAZENATION processes your Personal Data for the following purposes:
a. In order to provide the Service:
Example; data that is entered when registering for a ticket or using a service (such as name and date of birth) can be used to check whether you meet the set requirements (e.g. to monitor age). Specified contact details can be used to inform you about (changes to) the Service or planned maintenance (service e-mails).

b. In order to process payments:
Certain data that are requested when registering or using it, may be required for issuing invoices and processing payment for a Service.

c: In order to build a profile
MAZENATION strives to ensure that the Service is as relevant as possible for you. To do this, MAZENATION keeps a profile based on your use of the Service to get an idea of your most likely interests. MAZENATION does this for example, by keeping track of what Content you request or which purchases (such as tickets, refreshments, merchandise or travel package) you make. Another way in which MAZENATION builds a profile is by using your location data at events (after gaining explicit permission to do so) to see which artists, music and experiences appeal to you. Based on these interests, MAZENATION can then change the Content, including adverts, that appear on MAZENATION touchpoints. As an example, MAZENATION can then show recommendations for similar Content that has certain artists or events. MAZENATION can also use (parts of) these profiles for campaigns run by online advertisers or via ad agencies. MAZENATION is and will remain the owner of these profiles and will never make the full profiles available to these third parties. MAZENATION only shares selected parts of the profile, e.g. email address and/or the segments (tags), with the advertisers (e.g. ‘woman, age category 20 to 30 years), to ensure that the adverts match the interests. 
d. In order to send newsletters and promotions:
MAZENATIONcan also use contact information and other data that have been collected to keep you informed by phone, mail, e-mail, SMS, push messages from apps or other suitable media, about promotions or offers from ourselves (action e-mails), or to keep you informed about the Service and the Content (newsletter e-mails). You can unsubscribe from this at any time.

e. In order to improve the Service and to identify general trends:
MAZENATION uses your usage data to analyse in a general sense how the Service is used and which trends can be observed, in order to make more informed decisions about, for example, further development of the Service and the Content offering. It is also possible to track purely technical trends for that purpose, for example which types of Devices or browsers are used to retrieve the Content.

f. In order to prevent misuse:
MAZENATION also Processes your Personal Data and your use of the Service in order to prevent misuse of the Service and the Content, to prevent fraud (e.g. with credit card or other means of payment), and to protect the rights of others (including the right-holders to the Content).

g. In order to carry out market research:
MAZENATION can contact you and former users and visitors of the Service that have provided their contact details for the purposes of market research. Participation in such research is always on a voluntary basis. MAZENATION can, based on this research, send offers to you and others who participated in this research, provided that prior permission has been given for this.

h. In order to ensure compliance with laws and regulations:
Your Personal Data can be used to comply with laws and regulations that apply to MAZENATION, to deal with disputes and to have audits carried out.

i. MAZENATION can utilize profiling. Which means collecting, analysing and combining of (personal) data aiming to tag you in a specific (interest) category. (race, ethnic origin, political opinions, religious believes, trade
union membership, orientation, health or criminal data) are consciously excluded within GDPR.

The importance of profiling is that we can gain interests which content you may be interested in and which products or services (including commercial products or services) would suit you. Profiling ensures that both the content and ads are more in line with your personal interests.

Profiling can impact your privacy. For example, if false (interest) categories are linked to you based on incorrect or outdated data. If you believe that this is the case, the GDPR provides you the right to have your data modified or removed. In this case, please contact MAZENATION. 

At events:
MAZENATION can also process visitor data at the events that it organizes, such as registering an event for commercial or security purposes (with camera). When entering an event location, the visitor is always informed of such processing.
You can withdraw your permission for use of personal data at any time by sending a message to: gdpr@mazenation.com

6. Why does MAZENATION Process your Personal Data?
The main reason why MAZENATION Processes your Personal Data is because this is necessary to provide its Service. For example,MAZENATION Processes your Personal Data so that it can grant you access to its websites, apps or events. It may also be the case that MAZENATION Processes your Personal Data because it is obliged to do so because of laws and regulations. For example, the Dutch General Act on Government Tax makes it mandatory to retain payment data for 7 years for the Tax Authorities.

Another reason why MAZENATION Processes Personal Data is because either MAZENATION or a third party has a legitimate reason for doing this, such as a commercial interest. In that case, MAZENATION will always make a thorough assessment as to whether this interest is greater than your privacy interest.

Finally, MAZENATION can Process Personal Data on the basis of your permission. For example, MAZENATION asks for your permission before placing and reading tracking cookies or before sending you (electronic) commercial messages.

7. Who does MAZENATION share your Personal Data with?
Within the MAZENATION:

The Personal Data that are collected are Processed by MAZENATION also for the companies affiliated with MAZENATION. These companies can access your Personal Data insofar as this fits within the purposes described in this Privacy and cookie statement.
With (other) suppliers of MAZENATION:__MAZENATION can share your Personal Data with the suppliers it works with to realise the Service (for example a mailing company, hotel, flight companies, call centres, collection agency, market research agency, event partners or the party that has been commissioned by MAZENATION for the technical realisation of a website or app) or for marketing purposes. Where possible, MAZENATION places these third parties under the obligation to act in the capacity of data processor. This means that MAZENATION determines the purpose for which and the manner in which the personal data are to be Processed and the data processor is only allowed to handle your data according to the instructions and (security) standards of MAZENATION. These agreements determined by MAZENATION with each data processor are set out in a so-called processor agreement. If these third parties are outside the European Economic Area (EEA), MAZENATION has reached (additional) agreements with these parties. MAZENATION signs a model contract with these data processors that has been approved by the European Commission (also called standard contractual clauses). Where data are transferred to the United States, MAZENATION either agrees on the model contract or MAZENATION allows the transfer under the EU-US Privacy Shield.
 
With other MAZENATION partners: 
In specific cases, in the context of the purposes described above, it is necessary to share Personal Data with third parties who use this Personal Data independently. In addition, MAZENATION can provide Personal Data for marketing purposes to other partners selected by MAZENATION.  MAZENATION will first request separate permission from you to do this.
 
With the authorities and others:
In exceptional cases, MAZENATION may provide Personal Data to authorities or third parties, if MAZENATION is required to do so by law or by order of the court, or if there is reasonable reason to believe that this is necessary in order to prevent damage or misuse.
You can withdraw your permission for use of your personal data at any time by sending a message to: gdpr@mazenation.com
 
8. Cookies
Cookies are small files that can be placed on your Devices by the websites or apps of MAZENATION. For example, you can easily be recognised during a subsequent visit without having to log in again on your MAZENATION Account. Likewise, information relating to website use can be collected using cookies about other visitors of the MAZENATION websites (who are not logged in with an MAZENATION Account). There are different types of cookies. In some cases, cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser; in other cases, these cookies are stored for longer and can be read the next time you use the Service. Where MAZENATION collects Personal Data using cookies, these Personal Data are Processed in accordance with the provisions set out in this Privacy and cookie statement. Before MAZENATION places non-functional cookies, MAZENATION will inform you about this and ask for your permission. It is only after permission has been given that these cookies are placed and read.

MAZENATION itself places cookies in order to identify you on your next visit without the need for you to log in again with your MAZENATION Account. MAZENATION can also place cookies for the purpose of creating profiles. MAZENATION can also place tracking cookies, which are used by MAZENATION if you as a visitor navigate to third party websites where MAZENATION can place ads via its tracking partners (see: 1 - Definitions). Additionally, MAZENATION uses third parties to analyse the use of its Content, websites, apps and the Service. These third parties also place cookies for MAZENATION on your Devices, which are used to map your use of the Service. For example, Google Analytics.

Cookies from third parties are placed on your Devices by third parties, and only these third parties have access to those cookies and the information collected by the cookie. Third parties that have permission to place cookies via the Service are, for example, advertising networks that place the adverts on the MAZENATION websites. Ad networks usually leave so-called "tracking cookies" on your devices. Tracking cookies enable advertisers to track your browsing habits so that they can display as many relevant ads as possible on the websites that you visit. Social networking services such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+ can also place cookies via the websites of MAZENATION. This is done via the buttons of these social networks that may appear on the websites of MAZENATION to promote ("Like") or share ("tweet”) Content.

Below is an overview of (technical) partners on the websites or apps of MAZENATION:
  • Wix Studio (Hosting & cloud infrastructure)
  • Cookie consent (functional for storing cookie preferences);
  • True SSL Certificates (website security)
  • Google Analytics (analytics pixel used for research);
  • Google Tag Manager (tags used for re-targeting)
  • Facebook pixel (tracking pixel used for re-targeting within Facebook).

If you would like more information about the cookies that other parties place from the websites or apps of MAZENATION and the purposes for which and the manner in which these cookies are used, please read the privacy and cookie statements of these parties on their websites or apps.

Browser applications can be set so that new cookies are no longer received the next time you use the Service. This differs from browser to browser; we recommend that you consult the help function of the browser if necessary. This should also explain how to delete cookies that have been previously placed.

NB: A visitor to the website or a user who no longer wishes to receive cookies should change these settings in all browsers and on all devices that are used. If cookies are refused and/or removed, it is possible that your use of the Service and/or options related to the Service is rejected.
 
9. How long does MAZENATION store your Personal Data?
MAZENATION will keep your Personal Data for as long as necessary to get you the best service or in case of refund terms, warranty or recurring contact needed to keep you up to date. MAZENATION stores your data for at least as long as you use the Service and if your account is inactive, for a period of 2 years thereafter. The reason for MAZENATION doing this is so that you can easily return to using the Service when re-activating. If you have been inactive for a long period (longer than 2 years), MAZENATION will delete your data.

An exception to this is if the law prescribes that MAZENATION must retain certain data for a longer period of time. For example, the Dutch General Act on Government Tax makes it mandatory to retain payment data for 7 years for the Tax Authorities.

10. How does MAZENATION protect your Personal Data? 
IMAZENATION at all times maintains a level of security in the Processing of Personal Information that, in view of the state of the art, is sufficient to prevent the loss, alteration, disclosure of or unauthorised access to Personal Data. If Mazenation engages third parties, then Mazenation imposes the same level of security on them. MAZENATION has a close relation to its data processors and made clear agreements in our Processor Agreements

Questions about this security can be directed to gdpr@mazenation.com.
 
11. What are your rights?
