1. Data controller

The controller of the data collected through TiketBurst is the company operating the platform, whose registered office is located in Côte d'Ivoire.

The processing described below is governed by Ivorian Law No. 2013-450 of 19 June 2013 on the protection of personal data, supervised by the Telecommunications/ICT Regulatory Authority of Côte d'Ivoire (ARTCI), and by ECOWAS Supplementary Act A/SA.1/01/10.

Data protection contact. For any question about your data or the exercise of your rights: privacy@tiketburst.com.

2. Scope

This policy applies to all data processed as part of the Service: the website, the access-control application, electronic communications and the interfaces provided to organizers.

Dual capacity. TiketBurst acts as data controller for ticket sales, account management, payments and fraud prevention. Where an organizer uses attendee data from their own event for their own purposes, they act as a separate controller and answer for their own obligations.

3. Data we collect

Data you provide to us

  • Identification: surname, first name, mobile telephone number, email address, preferred language, and profile photo where applicable.
  • Identity verification (organizers and fundraiser owners): official identity document, liveness selfie, data extracted from the document.
  • Settlement details: electronic money account number or bank details for payouts.
  • Content: event and fundraiser descriptions, images, messages exchanged through the Service, reviews and reports.

Data generated by your use of the Service

  • Transactions: orders, tickets, amounts, payment methods used (never the full card number or the PIN), refunds, disputes.
  • Access control: timestamp and scan point of your ticket, validation status.
  • Technical: IP address, device and browser type, device identifier used for ticket binding, connection logs.
  • Audience measurement: pages viewed and purchase journey, by means of first-party identifiers (see section 10).

Data from third parties: confirmations and statuses sent by payment providers, and the outcome of identity verification sent by our specialist provider.

We do not collect sensitive data within the meaning of the law (political opinions, religious beliefs, health, sexual orientation). You are asked not to publish any such data in free-text fields.

4. Purposes and legal bases

Each processing operation rests on a specific legal basis:

  • Performance of the contract — creating and managing your account, selling and issuing tickets, access control, refunds, paying funds out to organizers, customer service.
  • Legal obligation — identity verification and obligations to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, accounting and tax retention, standardised invoicing, and responding to requests from the competent authorities.
  • Legitimate interest — platform security, fraud prevention and detection, aggregate audience measurement, improvement of the Service, and the defence of our rights in legal proceedings. That interest is balanced against your rights and freedoms.
  • Consent — sending promotional communications unrelated to an order, and trackers that are not strictly necessary. Your consent is freely given and may be withdrawn at any time, with no effect on your use of the Service.

Order-related communications. Confirmation, event reminder, change and cancellation messages form part of the performance of the contract and cannot be switched off for as long as you hold an active ticket.

5. Recipients and processors

We do not sell your personal data. It is disclosed only in the following cases:

Organizers. When you buy a ticket, the organizer receives the data needed for access control and for running the event: name, ticket type, scan status and, where you have provided it, your contact details. The organizer may not use that data for other purposes without your consent.

Processors and providers

  • Payment: Wave, Orange Money, MTN Mobile Money, Moov Money, and the aggregators CinetPay and GeniusPay — processing collections and payouts.
  • Identity verification: Smile ID — document checks and biometric liveness detection.
  • Hosting and database: Supabase, and our server infrastructure.
  • Content delivery and network security: Cloudflare.
  • Transactional email and campaigns: Resend.
  • Video streaming: our streaming gateway and, where applicable, a third-party streaming provider.

Each processor acts only on documented instructions from TiketBurst, within the limits of its assignment and under confidentiality and security undertakings.

Authorities. We disclose data where the law requires it: judicial orders, requests from a supervisory authority, and reporting to CENTIF under AML/CFT rules.

6. Transfers outside Côte d'Ivoire

Some of our providers process data from servers located outside Côte d'Ivoire, in particular in the European Union and the United States.

Those transfers are governed by contractual undertakings imposing an adequate level of protection and, where Ivorian regulation requires it, are subject to the necessary prior formalities with ARTCI.

You may obtain a copy of the safeguards in place by writing to privacy@tiketburst.com.

7. Retention periods

We keep data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes pursued:

  • User account: for the duration of the relationship, then limited archiving after closure.
  • Orders, tickets and accounting records: for the period imposed by the applicable accounting and tax obligations.
  • Identity verification documents: for the period imposed by AML/CFT regulation, running from the end of the business relationship.
  • Technical and security logs: a short period, proportionate to the security purpose.
  • Audience measurement data: a limited period, then aggregation without any identifier.
  • Marketing: until you withdraw your consent, then deletion or anonymisation.

Once those periods expire, data is irreversibly deleted or anonymised by automated processes.

8. Your rights

Under Law No. 2013-450, you have the following rights:

  • Access — to obtain confirmation that data concerning you is being processed, and to receive a copy of it.
  • Rectification — to have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected.
  • Erasure — to obtain deletion of your data, subject to our legal retention obligations.
  • Objection — to object to processing based on our legitimate interest, and at any time to marketing.
  • Restriction — to request that contested processing be suspended.
  • Portability — to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Post-mortem instructions — to determine what becomes of your data after your death.

How to exercise them. The rights of access, portability and erasure can be exercised directly from your "Settings" area: you can download an export of your data there and request deletion of your account. A deletion request opens a period during which you may cancel it before it is carried out.

You may also write to us at privacy@tiketburst.com. We reply within the applicable statutory period. Proof of identity may be requested in the event of reasonable doubt.

Complaints. If our response does not satisfy you, you may refer the matter to ARTCI, the personal data protection authority in Côte d'Ivoire.

9. Automated decisions and fraud prevention

In order to protect buyers, organizers and the platform, we operate automated fraud-detection checks: analysis of signals relating to the order, the payment method, the device and usage behaviour.

Those checks may lead us to request additional verification, delay a payout or block a transaction.

No decision producing significant effects is taken solely on the basis of automated processing without the possibility of review: you may request human intervention, express your point of view and contest the decision by writing to support@tiketburst.com. A prior appeal process applies before any final measure is taken against an account.

10. Cookies and trackers

We use a limited number of trackers, all set by TiketBurst (first party). We do not use any third-party advertising network.

Strictly necessary — essential to the operation of the Service, these do not require your consent:

  • ts_access, ts_refresh — maintaining your authenticated session.
  • ts_user, ts_lite — session state and adapted display.
  • ts_stream_session — access control for a paid stream.
  • ts_onboarding_completed — remembering which guides you have already seen.
  • Device identifier — associated with the ticket when the organizer enables device binding, in order to prevent duplication of admission tickets.

Audience measurement:

  • tb_vid — visitor identifier, long-lived.
  • tb_sid — session identifier, short-lived.

These identifiers allow us to measure audience and the purchase journey without relying on a third-party advertising service, and are not used to profile you for advertising purposes.

You may delete trackers at any time from your browser settings. Deleting the strictly necessary trackers will sign you out of the Service.

11. Security

We implement proportionate technical and organisational measures: encryption of communications (TLS), separation of environments, role-based access control, logging of administrator access, expiry and rotation of authentication tokens, cryptographic signing of tickets, and masking of sensitive data in logs.

As no system is infallible, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach likely to create a risk to your rights, we notify the competent authority and, where the law requires it, the individuals concerned.

You can report a vulnerability to us at security@tiketburst.com.

12. Minors

The Service is not intended for persons under 16. We do not knowingly collect their data.

If you hold parental authority and find that a minor has provided us with data, write to privacy@tiketburst.com and we will delete it.

13. Changes to this policy

This policy may change along with the Service and with regulation. Any substantial change is notified to you by appropriate means before it takes effect.

The date of the latest update appears at the top of the page. We encourage you to review it periodically.
