Automated decision-making takes place when an electronic system uses personal information to make a decision without human intervention. We are allowed to use automated decision-making where we have notified you of the decision and where it is necessary to perform the contract with you.

If we make an automated decision on the basis of any particularly sensitive personal information, we will only do so with your explicit written consent unless it is justified in the public interest, and we have taken appropriate measures to safeguard your rights.

8.1 If an event is over-subscribed or over-booked, we may use automated decision-making to allocate tickets for this event on the basis of customer loyalty and transaction history. Otherwise, you will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making, unless we have a lawful basis for doing so and we have first notified you.

8.2 If you disagree with your ticket allocation based on our automated decision-making, please contact info@tixtu.com.
