DANCE BOX OFFICE
Privacy Policy
Welcome to the DanceBoxOffice.com ("DanceBoxOffice," "We,"
"Us," or "Our") website ("Site"). This privacy
policy has been created to inform You, the user, how We gather, use, treat,
and disseminate Your personally-identifiable information and data. This privacy
policy only applies to transactions made, and information gathered, on Our Site
only and does not apply to any other website, even web sites to which We provide
links. You must contact that particular website operator or company to determine
what its privacy practices are, which may be much different than Our practices.
Also, this policy does not apply to any contact that You have with Us or Our
office outside of Your actual usage of Our Site while on the internet.
Please review this policy periodically as We may update it from time-to-time.
This policy was last revised on April 1st, 2008. Each time You visit the Site
or provide Us with any information, You are hereby accepting the practices described
in this privacy policy at that time. You expressly consent to Our use and disclosure
of Your information as provided herein.
What Information We Collect and How We Do It
Information can generally be collected in two ways: (1) Information that is
knowingly and voluntarily input into Our system directly by You in response
to particular prompts or fields; and (2) information that is collected automatically
when You use the Site.
Some information can be "personally identifiable." We use the term
"personally identifiable information" to mean any type of information
which could be utilized to identify or be readily associated with You, the user
of this Site. Examples of personally identifiable information include, but are
not limited to, Your name, address, telephone number, financial data, and e-mail
address, or any combination thereof. In order to operate Our Site and provide
You with information on events and services that may be of interest to You,
We collect personally identifiable information (e.g. name, address, phone number,
and e-mail address), financial information (e.g. passwords, credit/debit card
numbers, bank, and other account numbers) and demographic information (e.g.
zip code, hometown, gender, purchase history, and age) from You. Please note
that, in some instances as described below, We treat financial information differently
than We treat other types of personally identifiable information.
Nowhere on the Site do We knowingly market Our services or knowingly collect
personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen
(13).
Voluntary Release of Information
Whenever You are prompted by the Site to complete forms, provide payment information,
and make choices, for example, and You choose to do so, You are voluntarily
providing information to Us. This information may or may not be personally identifiable,
depending upon what You are asked to provide and how We use it. The transmission
of an e-mail voluntarily initiated by You to Us can also transmit personally
identifiable information about You depending upon what information You choose
to include in Your e-mail. You should not send personally identifiable information
through Our Site via unencrypted e-mail, particularly information that You deem
to be sensitive or confidential.
Automatic Collection of Information
The automatic collection of information refers to information collected from
You that does not require You to provide information in response to particular
fields or prompts. This can be done through the use of software or other automated
processes that Our Site uses.
For example, this Site, like many websites on the internet, uses "cookies."
A cookie is a small text file automatically placed on Your computer's web browser
that is used to recognize users who have previously visited the Site. In general,
these cookies are either persistent and may reside on Your computer for several
months after You last accessed the Site (or until You delete or otherwise dispose
of them), or on a temporary basis. Our Site also uses temporary cookies called
"session cookies," which are stored for a single user session with
the Site and are deleted as soon as the user's browser is shut down. We use
cookies for purposes that include, but are not limited to, keeping track of
Your purchases and other activity on the Site, delivering content specific to
Your interests, saving Your password, and if You choose, saving other personal
and financial information so You do not have to re-enter it each time You visit
the Site. We do this to enhance Your experience on Our Site and to make it as
easy to use as possible. Third-party advertisers on the Site may also place
cookies on Your browser. If You wish to disable these cookies, the "help"
portion of the toolbar on most browsers will likely tell You how to do so. Please
note, however, that if You choose to set Your browser to disable cookies, You
may not be able to access certain areas of Our Site.
Like most websites, each time You visit the Site, We automatically collect Your
"internet protocol" ("IP") address (and the website address
that directed You to Us, when applicable). An IP address is a unique series
of numbers that identifies each computer connected to the internet. An IP address
can be used to provide information such as the date and time of a user's visit,
the availability of certain requested files, the popularity of various website
functions, and the amount of information transmitted to each user from a site.
Presently, We use Your IP address to address the frequency of Your visits to
this Site and to determine the frequency with which certain pages and functions
of the Site are accessed. This will allow Us to improve the Site's functionality
and to diagnose problems. Your IP address is used to help identify You and to
gather demographic information.
How We Use Your Personally Identifiable Information
We use Your personally identifiable information for a variety of purposes, including,
but not limited to, helping Us to perform transactions on the Site efficiently,
delivering the services that You request, contacting You regarding events for
which You purchased tickets on the Site (including event confirmations, changes
and cancellations), sending information, offers, and other promotional materials
to You from Us and from selected third parties with whom We have a business
and/or commercial relationship.
We send offers that We believe would be of interest and value to You, such as
discounts, exclusive deals, special events, or other information. The Site provides
You with the option of declining to receive these types of offers from Us by
"opting-out." By opting-out, We give You the choice to not receive
these types of communications, although We will still contact You regarding
any specific events to which You have purchased tickets. You will be given the
option to opt-out after You receive Your first offer from Us. We will provide
a link that You can use to opt-out of receiving subsequent marketing e-mails
sent by Us. Please note, however, that opting-out of receipt of e-mail communications
from Us and/or third parties, but not Event Affiliates, as defined below, (or
by otherwise changing or deleting Your account information), will only change
the information in Our database for future transactions and communications from
Us and/or third parties. These changes will not affect: A) Information already
collected as part of a particular ticket purchase in Our database which may
be shared with Our Event Affiliates regardless of Your e-mail preferences; and
B) Information that We may have already forwarded to Event Affiliates, credit
card companies, or any other third parties, as provided above. In this instance,
You would have to contact each of those entities individually in order to make
any changes to their use of Your personally identifiable information. If You
opt-out and You still receive these offers directly from Us, please contact
Us at philadelphiadance@gmail.com as soon as possible so that We can add Your
name to Our opt-out list.
In order to process transactions and payments on the Site, We will share Your
personally identifiable information with Our agents, representatives, contractors,
vendors, service providers, and credit card issuers/banks so they can provide
Us with support services such as authorization of credit card transactions,
order and ticket fulfillment, and promotional fulfillment. We have no control
over these parties and cannot guarantee that they will not share Your personally
identifiable information with other parties, as they may have different privacy
practices as to how Your information will be handled.
When You purchase a ticket or complete a registration form to any event listed
on Our Site, We will share Your personally identifiable information with the
venues, promoters, producers, organizers, managers, presenters, artists, teams,
organizations, and other third-parties associated with that particular event
("Event Affiliates"). We cannot offer You a separate opportunity to
opt-out, or not to consent, to Our sharing of Your personally identifiable information
with these parties, as explained below. Event Affiliates may use Your information
in accordance with their own privacy policies, and may consequently use Your
personally identifiable information to contact You and may share Your personally
identifiable information with others. You will need to contact those Event Affiliates
on Your own initiative to instruct them directly regarding Your preferences
for the use of Your personally identifiable information by them.
Unless You opt-out, We will use and disclose all information submitted by You
for such third-party offers in the same manner in which We use and disclose
all other information submitted by You for offers We sponsor. We may select
third parties with whom We will share Your personally identifiable information
so that they can communicate directly with You about their products and services.
We have no control over third parties and cannot guarantee that they will not
share Your personally identifiable information with other parties, as they may
have different privacy practices as to how Your information will be handled.
Your personally identifiable information may be given or transferred to a third
party in the event of a transfer or sale of ownership or assets, or in the event
of a bankruptcy of DanceBoxOffice. We may also disclose Your personally identifiable
information to other affiliated legal entities and businesses with whom We are
under common corporate control. However, all of the affiliated legal entities
and businesses that receive Your personally identifiable information from Us
will comply with the terms of this privacy policy with respect to their use
and disclosure of Your personally identifiable information. In addition, We
can disclose Your personally identifiable information to other parties when
We, in Our sole discretion, suspect or determine that Our Site is being used
for any unacceptable, inappropriate, or illegal purposes. We may also disclose
this information where authorized by law or pursuant to any authorized law enforcement
investigation, regardless of whether it was initiated by Us or by another party.
How We Use Financial Information
We use the term "financial information" as a sub-category of personally
identifiable information relating to credit card, billing, and payment information
that You provide to Us when You transact business on Our Site. We use Your financial
information to bill You for products and services and to enable You to participate
in discount, rebate, and similar programs in which You choose to participate.
By making a purchase or engaging in any other kind of activity that uses financial
information on Our Site, You hereby consent and allow Us to provide Your financial
information to Our Event Affiliates, service providers, credit card companies,
banking institutions, processing centers, and/or to such other third parties
as We determine to be necessary to handle and process Your transactions. Except
as provided below, We do not make Your financial information available to third
parties unrelated to a particular event or transaction without Your consent.
In addition, as stated earlier, depending upon the circumstances of Our ticketing
service arrangements with particular venues and event promoters, We may share
Your financial information with applicable Event Affiliates for the primary
purpose of dispute resolution and customer service at the venue on, before or
after the date of the event. This sharing of Your financial information may
be necessary in order for You to gain admittance to the Event and for identification
verification purposes or to otherwise resolve any problems that occur while
at the venue.
As noted above with personally identifiable information, financial information
may given or transferred to a third party in the event of a transfer or sale
of ownership or assets, or in the event of a bankruptcy of DanceBoxOffice. We
may also disclose Your financial information to Our subsidiary and parent companies
and businesses, and other affiliated legal entities and businesses with whom
We are under common corporate control. However, all of these parent, subsidiary,
and affiliated legal entities and businesses that receive Your financial information
from Us will comply with the terms of this privacy policy with respect to their
use and disclosure of Your financial information. In addition, We can disclose
Your financial information to other parties when We, in Our sole discretion,
suspect or determine that Our Site is being used for any unacceptable, inappropriate,
or illegal purposes. We may also disclose this information where authorized
by law or pursuant to any authorized law enforcement investigation, regardless
of whether it was initiated by Us or by another party.
How We Use Other Information
We use Your other non-personally identifiable information, such as general demographic
information, to customize the Site to the interests of Our users. We may share
this information with Our Event Affiliates. We may also share anonymous, aggregated
demographic information with advertisers and other third parties so that they
can customize their advertisements, promotions, and communications to the appropriate
audience. There may also be certain instances when We provide third parties
with Your personally identifiable and specific demographic information on a
non-anonymous basis. We will not, however, knowingly and intentionally provide
these parties with Your financial information.
Our Security Precautions
We attempt to protect Your personally identifiable information by utilizing
reasonable security measures to prevent loss, misuse, alteration, or unintentional
destruction. We use secure server software (SSL) for Your Site transactions.
We encrypt all of Your personally identifiable information as it travels over
the Internet and We store Your financial information on Our servers in encrypted
form. If You learn that Our security measures have been compromised or have
other concerns, please inform Us immediately at philadelphiadance@gmail.com
Access to Your Personally Identifiable and Other Account Information
When You register to create an account with the Site or complete a purchase
transaction on the Site, We will either give You the opportunity to set certain
e-mail preferences when You register or make Your purchase, or We will automatically
set certain e-mail preferences for You. When You receive a confirmation e-mail
from Us confirming Your registration or purchase, You will be provided with
a link to change these preferences or Your registration information. As noted
earlier, however, changing Your preferences will only affect future communications
directly from Us and not from Event Affiliates or third parties who may have
already received Your information.
