Since release Whymper V1, SAM (SecuTix Audience Management) filters out automatically all contacts that refuse explicitly marketing communications (except if the campaign contains only "operational" (and non-marketing) information directly related to contractual obligations towards the customers, for instance informing them about major changes affecting an event for which they have purchased tickets). In this case, you must select the campaign type called "Information directly related to a contact's purchase or reservation".
In order to be fully compliant with GDPR regulations, release Whymper V3 of SAM will filter out automatically all contacts that did not give their explicit consent. As a result, as of mid-November 2018, contacts who have not provided any consent information (neither positive, nor negative) will not receive your marketing campaigns anymore. |
Several improvements have been brought to SecuTix during Whymper V2 regarding the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These improvements aim at:
- Improving the flexibility of the bulk contact anonymisation anonymization batch
- Improving the information provided to the operator operators and internet user users with regard to the data privacy policy
Although some of these improvements have already been delivered as patches in the last months, we take the opportunity of the Whymper V2 release notes to provide you a global overview of all the new features provided since the last major delivery.

Batch facility improvement for anonymization/deletion of inactive contacts
...
Contact inactivity period calculation
The batch process calculates the inactivity period of inactivity by checking the date of the last transaction by for a contact. This data is held in a special indicator (calculated directly by the batch process) called the GDPR recency. This recency covers:
- Option acquisition
- Option confirmation
- Reservations and sales made, either as a purchase contact or a cultural contact. Completing payment does not, therefore, modify the contact recency.
- Being added to the waiting list
- (as of since Whymper 1.7) explicit click on a SAM link
- (as of since Whymper 1.7) modification of contact criterion
- (as of since Whymper 1.7) modification of contact authorizations IF , if at least one authorization is still "yes, I authorize"
- If the contact has not carried out any of the above actions, the contact creation date is used.
- All those information are taken into account at the institution level (through all its organizations). Therefore, a contact will not be anonymized if there was an activity with another organization as the one running the batch.
The indicator then refers to the validity date of dated products and the order date of undated products.
CommentComments:
- In order to maintain performance levels, the indicator is only recalculated if a contact is eligible for deletion or anonymisationanonymization, given the current value of the indicator and the chosen period of inactivity. It does not necessarily provide the complete contact recency.
For example: A contact has purchased a ticket for a performance taking place on 15 the 15th of June 2018. The initial batch process runs and sets the indicator to 15 the 15th of June. A few weeks later, the contact purchases a ticket for a performance on 1 1st of September 2018. Suppose Assuming the batch was executed on 1 the 1st of August after the purchase of the second ticket. The , the second batch process will not update the contact recency as it is too recent to be anonymisedanonymized. - The batch anonymisation anonymization process only deals with individual contacts and relays and but not the structures themselves, nor contacts with another role (eg, e.g., supplier, guide, exhibitor, producer, partner, contractor).

anonymizing a contact
- When a contact is anonymised (either through the anonymized, through a batch or manually by the an operator), the country, town and post code of the address are kept. By this way, Allowing the reports on the geographical origin of the customers can still provide accurate informationto remain accurate. The other address information are still deleted so that the identity of the anonymised anonymized contact cannot be recovered. When a prospect is removed, all address information are deleted.
- All beneficiary information (except the country) and all answers to questions of type Address or Email linked to tickets which end validity is older than the duration specified in the batch are removed.
- Answers to questions linked to tickets which end validity is older than the duration specified in the batch are removed,.
- The IP address of all orders containing only tickets which end validity is older than the duration mentioned above is removed.

Information for internet users
"Contact creation on behalf"
SecuTix allows internet users to create contacts and integrate them to their community. By performing this action the users will be allowed to buy tickets for a member of their community.
If the internet user requests a login for any member of his community, the new community member will receive an email and all required information about data privacy policy. However, SecuTix cannot inform the new community member if no login has been created for him. In order to comply with GDPR regulations , a legal mention has been added to the "contact creation on behalf" page.
The purpose of legal mention is to urge the internet user, who created the contact, to inform the community member newly created about his rights regarding his personal data. The content of this legal mention is provided underneath:
When you share third party information (identity, contact details etc.) you undertake to have notified these third parties and, if necessary, obtained their consent for the processing of personal data when using our services and specifically with regard to achieving the purposes of management and monitoring of reservations and the ordering of tickets, creating and promoting communities, or managing our contact relations in general even carrying out communications and marketing activities for them. You also guarantee to us that you have brought to the attention of these third parties, the methods and characteristics relating to the processing of their data, the recipients of their data and the length of time their data will be kept etc. as well as details relating to their rights under the laws relating to the protection of personal data to which they are entitled and, in general, all the mandatory information which features in our "data protection policy", which you may read. |

Information for operators
Creation/modification of order remarks
SecuTix already provides information to the operator when he enters a contact notes or remarks, alerting the operator about the requirements on the remarks content defined by the data privacy regulations. This principle has now been extended to order remarks.
Request buyer's consent when saving the credit card alias for further payments
A message is displayed to the operator to ensure he has requested the buyer's consent before saving the credit card alias for further payments.
Data privacy legal obligations when exporting data
The operator is informed about his legal obligations when exporting a report from the reporting tool or from SAM.
Information for administrators
The login (connection code) of an operator cannot be modified or removed when this operator leaves your company. As a result, it's important that the identity of the operator cannot be discovered from his login. To achieve this, a message is displayed to the administrator to recall this requirement. Note that the operator first name and last name should be anonymized manually when the operator leaves your company.
