2. Purposes, legal framework and data categories when processing your personal data

2.1. Processing of your data during a visit to the Ticket Shop for purely informational purposes

If you visit the Ticket Shop to obtain information about products and services without buying a ticket or without actively transferring any other information to us in some other way (purely informational use) we, CTS EVENTIM AG & Co.

For the identification and defense against threats (bot defense, DDoS attacks) and the delivery and acceleration of online applications, we use services of Akamai Technologies GmbH, Parkring 20-22, 85748 Garchin, Germany on our websites. Akamai processes the IP address of your terminal device. Akamai uses this information on behalf of EVENTIM to prevent technical threats and to ensure high availability of our website.
