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.

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.

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.
