We may also use this real-time location information to address Customer or Venue support, technical, or business issues that may arise in the course of your use of the App. If you contact SeatElite customer service while at a Venue, and it is necessary to use your real-time location information to address your question, our support personnel will seek your consent before viewing your location.

You can also decide to share your estimated time of arrival (ETA) with one of your contacts. In that case the App will automatically send your contact a one-time text message from your contact list informing him or her of your ETA.

If you do not consent to the tracking of your location, you will still be able to use the basic features of the App. You may at any time withdraw your consent in your SeatElite account.
