Introduction

We are Fashion Group International of Chicago, located at PO Box 7018, Chicago, IL 60680. As the data controller, we are responsible for your personal data. This policy outlines your legal rights and obligations; please read it carefully. For any questions, contact us at FGIChicago@gmail.com.

Personal Data We Collect

When you purchase tickets or related products and services, we collect personal data such as your name, address, email address, and payment information. If you provide personal data about others (e.g., registering them for an event), you confirm that you have informed them of this policy and obtained their consent where necessary.

All personal data provided must be accurate and complete. Providing false information may lead to fraud suspicion, which we will record.

You can browse our event ticket shop without providing personal data; however, we may collect certain information automatically, as detailed below.

  • Browsing actions and patterns

We collect this information using cookies, as described in the "Cookies" section, to improve our services and for analytical purposes.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or damage. All information you provide is stored on secure servers, and payment transactions are encrypted. However, no system is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
