This Communications & Privacy Policy applies to all users of our web sites, downloadable software, mobile applications (including tablet applications), and other services provided by us and on which a link to this Privacy Policy is displayed, and all other communications with individuals through from written or oral means, such as email or phone.
We respect your privacy and work hard to safeguard the privacy of Customer Data that we have received.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected or received through other means, use and sharing of anonymous or de-identified data, or information collected by third party websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat, and Google+, that we do not own or control, even if you access them through our services. You should carefully review the privacy policies of any third party services you access so that you know how they will collect, use, and share your information.
We utilize the Services to collect payment details and visitor information from our customers and participants. In order to process online payments and provide service to customers, we ask for personally identifiable information (such as your name, address, city, state/province, zip/postal code) in order to complete the transaction, registration or payment. We retain personally-identifiable information in accordance with our requirements. We do not share any information with unaffiliated companies or organizations. Because data submitted to us is a critical part of our business, it would be treated like our other assets in the context of a merger, sale or other corporate reorganization or legal proceeding.
We own, control or direct the use of any of the Customer Data stored or processed via the Services. We and our Customers are entitled to access, retrieve and direct the use of such Customer Data. We access such Customer Data only as necessary to provide Services to our Customers. We are acting in the capacity of data controller in terms of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, hereinafter “GDPR”) and do have the associated responsibilities under the GDPR. We do not cause Customer Data stored in connection with the Services to be transferred or otherwise made available to third parties, except to third party subcontractors who may process such data on our behalf in connection with our provision of Services to Customers. We are the data controller under the Regulation for any Customer Data, meaning that we control how Customer Data is collected and used as well as determine the purposes and means of the processing of such Customer Data.
If you are a Customer or Visitor and, after reading this policy, have questions about how we manage data to comply with applicable privacy requirements, contact us at [email protected].
We collect different types of information from or through the Services. The legal bases for our processing of Customer Data are primarily that the processing is necessary for providing the Services and that the processing is carried out in our legitimate interests, which are further explained in the section “How We Use the Information We Collect” of this Policy. We may also process data upon your consent, asking for it as appropriate.
We collect information principally online upon signup of Customers, the filling out of any registration forms, and submission of payment information. For example, when you order a product, take a survey, make a donation, participate in a contest, or other promotion, we capture this information. A Customer’s name, address (postal and email) and telephone number are usually asked for in these cases. But we might request other information, based on the services. We do not share, make data or personally identifiable information of participants of Customers available to any third party for any reason, except for those reasons stated in this policy.
“Automatically Collected” Information
When a Customer or Visitor engages the Service, we may automatically record certain information from the Customer’s or Visitor’s device by using various types of technology, including cookies, “clear gifs” or “web beacons.” This “automatically collected” information may include IP address or other device address or ID, web browser and/or device type, the web pages or sites visited just before or just after using the Service, the pages or other content the Customer or Visitor views or interacts with on the Service, and the dates and times of the visit, access, or use of the Service. We also may use these technologies to collect information regarding a Customer’s or Visitor’s interaction with email messages, such as whether the Customer or Visitor opens, clicks on, or forwards a message, or when a Customer receives and interacts with a text message sent by us to a Customer. This information is gathered from all Customers and Visitors.
A. On the Customer’s behalf
We use the personally-identifiable information we collect online and through text messages principally to provide Customers and Visitors with the service(s) of registering for an event online, making an online donation, subscribing to a newsletter or otherwise registering for an online form. Postal and email address information, for example, enables communication about services/items offered and ordered, as well as the proper provisioning and billing of those services (email sales receipts, for example).
More specifically, we may utilize text messages for updates, changes or important announcements about an event or organization; for reminders about event details (e.g., start times); delivery of confirmation numbers, confirmation pages, QR codes, tickets, etc.; replies to customer inquiries regarding directions, ticketing page links, contact information, or other event information; 2 way communication between an event organizer and its attendee/our subscriber about event information; or special announcements, news, promotions, deals, or other marketing messages.
We may involve other companies or vendors to carry out certain functions in marketing and delivering services to you (such as processing data files and sending the Customer or Visitor new order fulfillment information), and so may share data with those vendors to the extent necessary for them to perform their work. Of course, such partners and vendors must use that personally-identifiable information only for the purpose(s) for which it was shared and protect it from any further use.
We will not collect, process, sell, share, or use any Customer Data made available to us for any purposes other than for the performance of the Services. We may, at times, collect or process any Customer Data with the purpose of inferring characteristics about a consumer. We may, at times combine personal information received from Customer with any personal information received from other sources, or engage in any targeted advertising based on a Customer’s, Visitor’s or consumer’s activity across different online services.
B. Legal
We also reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose/provide personally-identifiable online information in response to subpoenas and other legal demands, and where we believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against individuals who may be endangering public safety or interfering with our property or services, or with others’ use of them.
C. Communications
We may use email addresses and telephone numbers of Customers and Visitors who signed up online to send an email or text message related to our products and if affirmatively indicated a desire to receive additional information. If at any time, a Customer, Visitor or other consumer would prefer not to receive further email communications, or text messages, at their email address or phone number, please contact Customer Support through the number or email address listed below. We will timely respond to all opt-out requests.
D. Operations
We use Customer Data, Visitor data, and other consumer information to operate, maintain, enhance and provide all features of the Services; to provide the services and information that Customers request, to respond to comments and questions and to provide support to users of the Services. We process Customer Data solely in accordance with the directions provided by the applicable Customer. We also use the information provided for internal research, to verify information if necessary, prevent fraud, and enhance security, and to audit and provide reporting relating to transactions and interactions, including online transactions/interactions you may have ad with us, or others on our behalf. We may share information as part of a merger, acquisition, or other sale or transfer of all or part of our assets or with other entities as you have authorized or requested. Where applicable, we have contractual agreements in place, such as with our partners, to ensure that they provide the same or equal protection of your information as stated in this Privacy Policy.
E. Improvements
We use the information to understand and analyze the usage trends and preferences of our Customers, Visitors and Users, to improve the Services.
F. How Long We Keep Information
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary to achieve the goals and purposes stated in this Privacy Policy, or as long as we are legally required to retain it.
Access, Correction, Deletion, Copies
