Operated by GameDay Tickets LLC
Last Updated: May 14, 2026
1. Introduction
GameDay Tickets LLC ("GameDay Tickets," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website at gamedaytickets.io, our iOS application, and related services (collectively, the "Service").
By using the Service, you consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the practices described here, please do not use the Service.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
Event Organizers: When you create an Organizer account, we collect your name, email address, organization name, payment account onboarding information, and event details you provide, including event names, dates, locations, descriptions, pricing, and ticket configurations.
Ticket Purchasers: When you purchase tickets, we collect your name, email address, and billing zip code. Payment card information is collected and processed directly by our payment processor. We never receive, process, or store your full credit card number, CVV, or other sensitive card data.
In-Person Customers: When you make a purchase at an event gate using Tap to Pay on iPhone, a staff member may collect your phone number or email address for the sole purpose of sending you a digital receipt.
Staff Members: When an Organizer creates staff credentials, we collect the staff member's name and login information.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you use the Service, we automatically collect certain technical information, including:
- Device information: IP address, browser type, operating system, and device identifiers
- Usage data: Pages visited, features used, timestamps, and referring URLs
- Location data: General geographic location derived from IP address (we do not collect precise GPS location from Purchasers; the iOS app may request location permission for Tap to Pay on iPhone functionality as required by the Stripe Terminal SDK)
2.3 Information from Third Parties
We may receive information from payment and infrastructure providers related to transaction processing and service operations, including transaction status, billing zip codes, and payment method types. We do not receive full card numbers.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Processing transactions: To process ticket purchases, accept in-person payments, and facilitate payouts to Organizers
- Delivering tickets and receipts: To send order confirmations, digital tickets, and transaction receipts via email or SMS
- Providing the Service: To enable Organizers to create and manage events, view sales data and analytics, and manage gate operations
- Communicating with you: To send transactional messages about your orders, account notifications, and important Service updates
- Improving the Service: To analyze usage patterns, troubleshoot issues, and develop new features
- Security and fraud prevention: To detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, unauthorized access, or other illegal activities
- Legal compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes
We do not use your information for behavioral advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making.
4. SMS and Email Communications
4.1 Transactional SMS - In-Person Gate Receipts
SMS is used only for in-person sales made with our native iOS point-of-sale app (Tap to Pay on iPhone). After a staff member completes your purchase, the app shows a "Send receipt" screen offering Text, Email, or Skip. Choosing a text receipt is optional - you can choose Email or Skip and your purchase still completes; nothing is pre-checked or pre-filled. If you choose Text and enter your own mobile number, you agree to receive a single transactional SMS receipt for that purchase, containing your order total and a link to view your tickets. We send transactional messages only - no marketing or promotional content. Message frequency is one message per purchase. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time. Reply HELP for assistance.
4.2 Online Purchases (Email Only)
When you purchase tickets online through an event page on gamedaytickets.io, we confirm your order and deliver your tickets by email. We do not collect a mobile number or send SMS for online purchases.
4.3 No Sharing or Sale of Mobile Information
We do not share or sell mobile phone numbers or SMS opt-in consent to third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.
Mobile numbers and consent records are used solely to deliver the transactional messages described above and to comply with carrier and regulatory requirements (including A2P 10DLC compliance through our messaging provider, Twilio Inc.). No mobile information is shared, rented, sold, or otherwise disclosed for marketing or promotional purposes.
4.4 Transactional Email
If you purchase tickets online or provide your email at the point of sale, you will receive transactional emails including order confirmations, digital tickets, and receipts. These are necessary for the fulfillment of your purchase and are not marketing communications.
4.5 Marketing Communications
We do not send unsolicited marketing emails or SMS messages to Purchasers. Organizers may receive occasional product update emails, from which they may unsubscribe at any time.
5. How We Share Your Information
We share your information only in the following circumstances:
5.1 With Payment Providers
We share transaction data with payment providers for payment processing, including payment amounts, currency, and billing information.
5.2 With Event Organizers
When you purchase tickets, we share your name and email address with the Organizer of the event for the purpose of ticket fulfillment, event communication, and gate management. Organizers' use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies.
5.3 With Service Providers
We share information with third-party service providers who assist in operating the Service. As of the Last Updated date, our key service providers are:

Apple does not retain the customer's primary account number (PAN). Apple's handling of this data is governed by the Apple Privacy Policy and the Tap to Pay on iPhone Privacy Notice surfaced at the point of sale.

5.4 For Legal Reasons
We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
5.5 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
5.6 No Sale of Personal Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We have not sold personal information in the preceding twelve (12) months.
5.7 Platform Operator Access (Internal)
GameDay Tickets is operated by a small team. Authorized personnel may access individual records - including order, ticket, and account information - only as reasonably necessary to operate, support, secure, audit, and improve the Service. Examples include responding to a support request, investigating a suspected fraudulent transaction, debugging a payment failure, or auditing a chargeback dispute.
When personnel access individual records that contain personal information, that access is logged in an internal audit trail (timestamp, actor, action, and the record accessed). We use this log to monitor our own access and to respond to verifiable requests from you about how your data has been used.
We do not use this access to build cross-organization marketing lists, profile individual purchasers, train machine learning models on your personal information, or share individual records with anyone outside the service providers identified in Section 5.3.
6. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide the Service and fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Specifically:
- Organizer accounts: Retained for the duration of the account and for 3 years after account closure for legal and tax purposes
- Ticket purchase records: Retained for 7 years for financial record-keeping and tax compliance
- SMS/email delivery logs: Retained for 90 days for troubleshooting purposes
- Automatically collected data: Retained for 12 months
You may request deletion of your personal information at any time (see Section 8).
7. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:
- Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS/HTTPS
- Secure database access: Row-level security policies restrict data access based on user authentication and authorization
- Payment security: All payment processing is handled by a PCI-compliant payment processor
- Access controls: Administrative access to production systems is restricted to authorized personnel with multi-factor authentication
- Secure credential storage: Authentication tokens are stored securely on-device using platform-native secure storage
No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
