Krowd ("we", "us", "our") operates an events and ticketing platform for South Africa. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it.
Information We Collect
Account information: name, email address, phone number, and password when you register as a buyer or host.
Payment information: when you buy a ticket or receive payouts as a host, our payment processor handles your card or bank details directly. We do not store your full card number on our servers.
Order information: the events you buy tickets for, ticket quantities, order dates, and amounts paid.
Event information (hosts): event details you submit, including venue, date, pricing, and any images you upload.
Usage information: pages you visit, searches you make, and general device and browser information, collected to keep the platform working properly and to improve it.
How We Use Your Information

- Create and manage your account
- Process ticket purchases and payouts

- Verify tickets at event check-in
- Respond to support requests
- Detect and prevent fraud

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Sharing Your Information
We share information only where necessary:

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against loss, unauthorised access, and misuse. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We keep your information for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period after that to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
