Where we act as a data processor

If a Venue/Promoter imports its own database or other contact information it has collected into the Server, that database shall remain owned by that Venue/Promoter. The Venue/Promoter shall be the Data Controller in relation to any Personal Data collected pursuant to this clause. Booked It will be a Data Processor of this data and shall comply with its obligations as a Data Processor.

Further to this, the Venue/Promoter warrants that, where it is a Data Controller, it shall provide each Data Subject with the required information as set out in Article 14 of the GDPR, including but not limited to the identity and contact details of the Venue/Promoter, the purposes for processing their information and the categories of personal data with which the Venue/Promoter is concerned.

The Venue/Promoter warrants that it has all consents required to allow it to import its database referred to above into the Server and to allow Booked It to process such Personal Data in accordance with these Terms and the terms of the Privacy Policy.

If a Customer, or other User, creates an account on the Lickist platform and follows a Venue/Promoter (including a Data Subject who was initially introduced to the Service through the importing of a database), that User’s data shall become part of Booked It’s database.

Where the above occurs, both Booked It and the Venue/Promoter shall be referred to as a Data Controller in relation to any Personal Data provided by a User.

Any questions you may have in this set of circumstances regarding the use of your data should be directed at the Venue/Promoter.

Venues/Promoters are allowed to use our system to contact Customers of their current and past events, so you may receive emails from our system that originate from such Venues/Promoters that we send on their behalf. If a Customer registered for an event using our platform, their email address is available to the Venue/Promoter of that event.

Venues/Promoters may also import contact information they have from external sources and send communications through our platform to those individuals, we will deliver those communications to those individuals on the Venues/Promoter’s behalf. The Venue/Promoter and not Booked It is responsible for sending these communications. The Customer has the right to opt out of such communications at any time.

Venues/Promoters may also partner with other Venues/Promoters on the Booked It platform to Co-Promote events whereby they recommend similar events by other Venues/Promoters to their Customers.

  • required by the law, or in order to comply with judicial proceedings, court orders or legal or regulatory proceedings;
  • necessary to protect the safety of our employees, our property or the public;
  • necessary for the prevention or detection of crime, including exchanging information with other companies or organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction; and
  • proportionate as part of a merger, business or asset sale, in the event that this happens we will share your information with the prospective seller or buyer involved.
