Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 20, 2026

This privacy policy ("Policy") explains how Upkyk ("us", "we", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or use our website and the TicketPayGo plugin. Please read this Policy carefully before using our services.

By using our website or the TicketPayGo plugin, you agree to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Website Visitors

When you visit our website, we may collect:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring website
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • IP address (anonymized where possible)

Plugin Purchases

When you purchase TicketPayGo, we collect:

  • Name and email address
  • Billing information (processed securely by our payment provider)
  • License key and domain information for activation

2. TicketPayGo Plugin Data Handling

What Data Stays on Your Server

TicketPayGo is designed with privacy in mind. The following data is stored exclusively on your own WordPress installation:

  • Customer/attendee information (names, emails, phone numbers)
  • Ticket purchase history and transaction records
  • Event data and ticket configurations
  • QR codes and check-in records
  • Payment transaction details

Upkyk does not have access to this data. You are the sole controller of your customer data.

What Data We Receive

The plugin and scanner communicate with our servers only for:

  • License Validation: Your license key and domain URL are sent to verify your license status.
  • Update Checks: The plugin checks our server for available updates.
  • Scanner Activation: When you first connect a scanner to your site, we record the domain URL and activation timestamp. This is used solely for subscription management and refund eligibility verification.

No customer data, ticket information, sales data, or scanned ticket details are ever transmitted to Upkyk.

3. Third-Party Services

Payment Providers

TicketPayGo integrates with third-party payment providers:

  • Stripe: Privacy Policy
  • PayPal: Privacy Policy
  • Mollie: Privacy Policy

When customers make payments, their payment information is processed directly by these providers. Upkyk does not store or have access to credit card numbers or bank details.

Apple Wallet

When tickets are added to Apple Wallet, the pass data is stored on the customer's device. Apple's privacy policy applies to data stored in Apple Wallet.

Apple Wallet passes are issued through TicketPayGo's official Apple Wallet certificate, registered under an Apple Developer account. This means all passes display the TicketPayGo logo. It is not possible to use a custom logo or branding per event or organizer on the pass.

Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Upkyk Assistant AI Chat

What the Chat Widget Does

Our website features an AI-powered chat assistant ("Upkyk Assistant") to help you with questions about TicketPayGo. The chat widget is optional and only activates after you explicitly accept the privacy notice shown in the chat window.

Data Collected Through the Chat

When you use the AI chat, the following data is processed:

  • Chat messages: The text of your conversation is sent to our server to generate a response.
  • Session identifier: A temporary session ID is stored in your browser memory (not in a cookie) to maintain conversation context during your visit. It is not persisted after you close the tab.
  • Chat history: Conversations are stored in our Firebase database (Google Cloud, EU region) for quality improvement and support purposes.

We do not collect your name, email address, or any other identifying information through the chat unless you voluntarily provide it in a message.

AI Provider

Chat messages are processed by a third-party AI provider (OpenAI or DeepSeek) to generate responses. Your messages are sent to their API under their respective data processing terms:

  • OpenAI: Privacy Policy
  • DeepSeek: Privacy Policy

We use API access only — your messages are not used to train AI models under the standard API terms of these providers.

Data Retention

Chat sessions are retained for a maximum of 30 days and are used solely for support quality review. You can request deletion of your chat data by contacting us at https://upkyk.com/contact.

Legal Basis (GDPR)

Processing of chat data is based on your explicit consent, given when you click "I Accept" in the chat privacy notice. You may withdraw consent at any time by closing the chat and not using it further. Previously stored sessions can be deleted upon request.

5. Data Retention

  • License Data: We retain license key and domain information for as long as your license is active.
  • Purchase Records: We retain purchase records for accounting and legal purposes as required by Dutch law.
  • Your Customer Data: Data stored in your WordPress installation is retained according to your own policies. We recommend establishing a data retention policy for your events.

6. Your Responsibilities as a Plugin User

As a TicketPayGo user selling tickets, you become a data controller for your customers' personal data. You are responsible for:

  • Informing your customers about data collection in your own privacy policy
  • Obtaining appropriate consent for marketing communications
  • Responding to data access and deletion requests from your customers
  • Ensuring secure storage of customer data on your server
  • Complying with GDPR/AVG and other applicable data protection laws

7. Security Measures

  • We use industry-standard encryption (HTTPS/TLS) for all data transmission.
  • License validation uses secure API endpoints.
  • We do not store sensitive payment information on our servers.
  • Access to our systems is restricted to authorized personnel only.
