If you do not agree to be bound by this Policy, our Terms of Service, or our other applicable policies, do not use our Website or purchase our tickets or products.

The Website is not intended for use by, and our products are not intended for sale to, persons who are under thirteen (13) years of age or who reside outside of the United States of America (collectively, “Excluded Persons”). We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from Excluded Persons. No Excluded Person may provide any Personal Information or other information to or on the Website. If you are an Excluded Person, do not use or provide any information to this Website or on or through any of its features, make any purchases through the Website, use any of the interactive features of this Website, or otherwise provide any information about yourself to us through the Website.

1. INFORMATION WE MAY OBTAIN

Personal Information: If you fill any forms to provide any information to us on the Website, make purchases through the Website, or interact with the Website we may obtain certain kinds of “Personal Information”, including your name, email address, address, and/or phone number.

Payment Information: If you are paying for goods that you purchase on the Website, you may be asked to provide, in addition to Personal Information, certain “payment information”, which may include your credit or debit card number, card expiration date, CVV code, check payment information, account or routing number, the last four digits of a Social Security number, and/or billing and/or payment account address. All purchases are made through a third-party payment processor. We use Authorize.net for merchant processing. It may appear that we are collecting your payment information directly, but your payment information is provided to these third parties, which may embed their payment portals or links on the Website. We may receive only limited Personal Information of yours from that third party to verify or ship purchases or for fraud prevention, such as your billing address and contact information.

Third-Party Data Collection: We partner with Shopify and Afton Tickets to host and/or provide various services on or through the Website. Shopify, Authorize.net, and Afton Tickets may obtain information, including Personal Information or payment information, from you. They may also employ automated data collection tools (see the section below entitled “Automated Data-Collection Methods” regarding our use of automated data collection tools). We are not responsible for any information provided to or obtained, held, or otherwise used by such third parties. We encourage you to review Shopify, Shopify Payments, and any other third party’s terms of use, privacy policies, and other agreements and terms.

Automated Data-Collection Methods: When you visit the Website, some information is automatically collected. This may include information such as the Operating System (“OS”) running on your device, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (which may be used to obtain your geolocation), access times, browser type, date, and time of creation of accounts, language, the website you visited before or will visit after using our Website, and other generalized information. We may also collect information about how you use the Website, including the elements you have interacted with, metadata, and other details about these elements, change states and other user actions. We may use some or all of the following automated data collection methods:

• Cookies: Cookies are small pieces of data sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Your web browser may include a function that permits you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. You may adjust your cookie preferences at any time by clicking on the cookie icon in the bottom left corner of the Website. If you do limit or refuse our use of cookies, you may not be able to access all or parts of the Website.
• Third-Party Website Cookies: When you use the Website, you may be directed to third party websites which contain cookies or other automated data-collection methods. Third parties may also use tools that track your activity online, even when you are on the Website or other websites. We are not responsible for third parties’ use of cookies.
• Web Beacons: Pages of the Websites may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages and for other related statistics or information.
• Google Analytics: We, as well as third parties, may use Google Analytics or similar analytics tools to collect aggregate and/or demographic information about how users visit the Website. Google Analytics may drop a cookie (_ga) with a randomly-generated ClientID in your browser. This ID is anonymized and contains no identifiable information. Google may receive your IP Address and other information including aggregated website behavior, such as what pages you viewed, and for how long. This information is important to help improve the user experience and determine Website effectiveness.  You can review Google Analytics’ data practices here, and may be able to install a Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on here. We are not responsible for third parties’ use of Google Analytics or other similar tools or software.
• Google Tag Manager: We are constantly trying to improve the customer experience on our website by providing visitors with more personalized and targeted campaigns and offerings. To do so, we use Google Tag Manager (GTM). GTM is a little snippet of code that helps us track user behavior across our sites and then pushes the data to our Google Analytics account. Then, all the data is perfectly organized and ready for us to assess and review for potential site improvements and remarketing campaigns. Learn more about Google Tag Manager.
• Server Logs: We may track information about your visit to the Website and store that information in web server logs.
• Social Media Widgets: Some pages of the Website may use social media features, including without limitation, “Like” or “Share” buttons to aid social media sharing or interactive features. These features may collect your IP address, information about the webpage you are visiting or using, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Products. We do not control any of the content from the social media widgets and recommend that you review each social media company’s privacy policies prior to using any such widget.
• Retargeting: We may use certain technologies, such as cookies and web beacons to collect visitor data on the Websites and use that data to serve targeted display, social, or other advertisements to you when you visit other websites. Our partners may also use technology to collect this data.

Do Not Track Signals: “Do Not Track” is a preference you can set in certain web browsers to let websites you visit know that you do not want them tracking certain information about you. The Website does not currently respond to Do Not Track settings. For further details regarding Do Not Track settings, visit donottrack.us.

5. CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS – YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are a California resident, California law allows you to request information about our disclosure of certain classes of your Personal Information to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. You can make such requests of us using the contact information identified above. We reserve the right not to respond to requests submitted in ways other than those specified above. This request may be made no more than once per calendar year.

The Website is not intended for use by persons under the age of thirteen (13).

You can do so by contacting us using the contact information displayed at the top of this Policy. If you make such a request, please identify where the content or information is posted on the Website so that we can attempt to remove the post from public view or anonymize the content or information such that you cannot be identified. This removal process cannot ensure complete removal, for example, if content or information remains visible because a third party has copied the posting or reposted the content or information posted by the minor.

6. OPT-OUT RIGHTS

By providing us with your email address, you give us permission to send you emails about our services, products, and other updates. You have the right to opt out of receiving future marketing, promotional, or emails from us at any time by following the instructions set forth in any such emails, including by clicking the “Unsubscribe” button included at the bottom of each email.

Even if you opt out of such communications, we may nevertheless transmit non-promotional communications to you, such as communications concerning our business relationship with you. We may not accommodate a request to change Personal Information if we believe that the requested change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

7. MISCELLANEOUS

If any provision of this Policy is found to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the Policy and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. This is the entire agreement between you and us relating to the subject matter of this Policy and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous written, oral, or implied agreements or understandings between us with respect to such subject matter, except with respect to our Terms of Service, and other independent terms. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. Any heading, caption, or section title contained herein is inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way defines or explains any section or provision hereof. A printed version of this Policy and of any notices given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Policy to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
