What We Collect (and How it is Used and Shared)
Account Information
When you create an account with Volunteeripate your email, birthday, first and last names will be shared with event staff. This information is required for determining ticket eligibility and verifying your information upon entering an event. No other user account information is shared with any other 3rd parties. You may also provide other account information. We also store your user account preferences and settings.
Content you submit
We collect the content you submit to the Services. Allowed uploaded media (JPG, JPEG, PNG, PDF and GIF) is stored in a secure folder. This content is made available to event staff for review. No submitted content is shared with any 3rd parties.
Actions you take
We collect information about the actions you take when using the Services. This includes your interactions with content, like volunteering. It also includes your interactions with other users, such as ticket transfers and directed tickets.
Transactional Information
If you purchase products or services from us (e.g., a ticket), we will collect certain information from you, including your name, email address, and information about the product or service you are purchasing. Volunteeripate uses industry-standard payment processor services (for example, Stripe) to handle payment information.
