Big Top Tickets and Other Service Providers

Analytics and Advertising

We may use services such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Meta Pixel to understand website activity, measure advertising results, and display relevant advertisements.

These services may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to collect information about visits and interactions across websites.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your browser or device. We may use essential, functional, analytics, and advertising cookies to:

  • Keep the website operating correctly

  • Remember preferences

  • Complete and protect purchases

  • Understand how visitors use the website

  • Measure advertising campaigns

  • Provide more relevant advertisements

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may prevent parts of the website or checkout from functioning correctly.

Where required by law, we will request consent before using nonessential cookies.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to:

  • Big Top Tickets and payment processors

  • Website hosting and technology providers

  • Email, analytics, and advertising platforms

  • Professional advisers, accountants, insurers, or attorneys

  • Government agencies or law enforcement when legally required

  • A successor or purchaser in connection with a business sale, reorganization, or transfer

We do not sell personal information to third parties in exchange for money.

However, the use of certain advertising cookies and pixels may be considered “selling,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some state privacy laws. Where applicable, you may request to opt out of those activities.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Confirm whether we process your personal information

  • Access the personal information we maintain about you

  • Correct inaccurate information

  • Request deletion of personal information

  • Obtain a portable copy of certain information

To submit a privacy request, email support@bigtoptickets.com or use the Contact Us form on our website. Include “Privacy Request” in the subject line and clearly describe your request.

We may need to verify your identity before completing the request. Where permitted by law, an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf.

If we deny your request, you may appeal the decision by emailing the same address with “Privacy Appeal” in the subject line. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

Children’s Privacy

Our website sells tickets for family entertainment, but ticket purchases and online services are intended for adults.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate parental consent. Children should not submit personal information, create an order, or contact us without the involvement of a parent or legal guardian.

A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information may contact support@bigtoptickets.com to request its removal.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Complete ticket orders and provide event services

  • Maintain transaction and tax records

  • Respond to customer-service inquiries

  • Prevent fraud and resolve disputes

  • Comply with legal and accounting obligations

  • Enforce our agreements and protect our business

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, payment system, or electronic transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Do Not Track and Privacy Preference Signals

Because there is no consistent industry standard for browser-based “Do Not Track” signals, our website may not respond to every such signal.

Where required by applicable law and supported by our systems, we will recognize legally valid opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of targeted advertising or data sharing.

External Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or social-media platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of websites that we do not operate.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external website before providing personal information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, technology, business practices, or legal requirements.

The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the website after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
