“Tixoom”, “we”, “our” or “us” means Xeio Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 8134729 doing business as "Tixoom."

“Personal Data” means any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual, and can include information that you provide to us and that we collect about you, such as when you engage with our Services (e.g. device information, IP address).

“Services” means the products and services that Tixoom indicates are covered by this Policy, which may include Tixoom-provided apps and services. Our “Business Services” are Services provided by Tixoom to entities (“Business Users”) who directly and indirectly provide us with “End Customer” Personal Data in connection with those Business Users’ own business and activities.

“Sites” means Tixoom.app and the other websites, apps and online services that Tixoom indicates are covered by this Policy. Collectively, we refer to Sites, Business Services and End User Services as “Services”.

Depending on the context, “you” means End Customer, Representative or Visitor:

The “data controller” is the entity which determines the purposes and means of the data processing taking place. The “data processor” is an entity acting on behalf and under the instructions of a controller in processing personal data. Depending on the activity, Tixoom acts as a “data controller” and/or “data processor (or service provider).”

Tixoom is a data controller when it determines the purposes and means of the processing taking place. These data processing activities include (1) providing the Tixoom service to Business Users, (2) providing information about our services to a Visitor, or (3) analyzing, developing and improving Tixoom's products and services.

Tixoom is a data processor where it is supporting facilitation of transactions on behalf of and at the direction of a Business User who may choose to use our services to support them selling tickets, memberships and similar to their End Customers.

1. Personal Data that we collect and how we use and share it

Our collection and use of Personal Data changes depending on whether you are acting as End User, Representative or Visitor and our different Services. For example, if you are the sole owner of a business (i.e., sole proprietorship), we may collect Personal Data to onboard your business, but you may also be an End Customer that purchased goods from another Business User that uses Tixoom services for issuing tickets, handling memberships, or other Business Services.

“Transaction Data” as used in this Privacy Policy includes Personal Data, and may include the following: your name, email address, billing address, shipping address, purchase amount, date of purchase, and in some cases, additional information you provide during the transaction process - for example, your responses to ad hoc questions.

Our legal basis for the processing of End Customer data is our legitimate interests in providing the Tixoom products and services. Tixoom processes this personal data given its legitimate interest in improving the Services and where it is necessary for the adequate performance of the contract with the Business Users.
