Entertainment Events, Inc. ("EEI") has created this privacy policy to demonstrate our commitment to protecting information you submit online. This privacy policy applies only to transactions made, and data gathered, on the entertainmentevents.com web site (the "Site"). This privacy policy does not apply to any other transactions, information, web site or Internet, telephone or offline point of contact between EEI and you or other consumers. Please review this privacy policy periodically, as we may update it from time to time. Each time you visit the Site or provide us with information, by doing so you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at that time. You agree that by using the Site you are consenting to our use and disclosure of the information that you provide, and consenting to receive emails, as described below in this privacy policy.

Information We Collect From You

In order to operate the Site and provide you with information on products and services that may be of interest to you, we may collect from you (a)"contact information" (i.e., information that could be used to contact you such as full name, postal address, phone number and email address as well as your computer's unique IP address, if any), (b) "financial information" (i.e., passwords, credit and debit card numbers and bank and other financial institution account numbers) and (c) "demographic information" (e.g., zip code, postal code, hometown, gender, purchase history information, posting and sales information and age as well as IP addresses that are not unique to your computer). Please note that nowhere on the Site do we knowingly collect contact information or financial information from children under the age of 13.

How We Use Contact Information; Responsibility

Order and Payment Processing, Customer Service, Credit Card Issuers and Quality Assurance. We use contact information to help us efficiently perform transactions, to deliver the services you have requested and to perform quality assurance, sales analyses and other business analyses. If you are a consumer, we also use contact information to contact you in connection with events for which you order tickets (including event confirmations, changes and cancellations). If you are a presenter, promoter or prospective presenter or promoter of a show available from us (an "Event Provider"), we also use contact information to communicate with you in connection with your presentation of that show, including (but not limited to) our acting as your agent for purposes of selling tickets to that show. In some cases we may use service providers to help us perform some of these tasks, including (but not limited to) processing or fulfilling your orders, or performing customer service, business analyses or quality control. Consequently we may share your contact information with these service providers. In such cases, we often require these service providers to enter into agreements with us regarding the confidential handling of your information. We may also provide your contact information to your credit card issuer or to credit card processors for their purposes. When you make a purchase through the Site, or register with the Site (whether as a consumer or an Event Provider), or if you are an Event Provider who emails or otherwise contacts us about your interest in presenting one of our shows, you will provide us with an email address where we (or these service providers) may contact you for the purposes described in this paragraph.

Promotional Emails. "Promotional emails" are emails that are sent solely for promotional purposes. By submitting an email address to us in any manner, you agree that EEI (on behalf of itself or on behalf of others) may send promotional emails to that email address until such time that you indicate your preference not to receive them. You may do that at any time by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link that we will embed in every promotional email. Please note that, if you ask not to receive promotional emails from EEI, (a) you may still receive promotional emails during the next 72 hour period (as it may take some time for your preferences to be updated throughout our computer systems), (b) you may still receive non-promotional emails from EEI, and (c) you may still receive emails from certain others (including, but not limited to, Event Providers (defined below)). Please note also that using our email "unsubscribe" feature will only affect your future email communications from EEI alone. Accordingly, if in connection with a previous EEI email to you, you have authorized EEI to share any of your information with a third party or have directly provided your information to a third party, then that third party may continue to contact you. EEI will have no liability to you in connection with those third party contacts. Please read the rest of this privacy policy to learn how others may contact you.

Providing Event Providers with Contact Information. EEI sells tickets on behalf of presenters and promoters of shows that are made available from EEI for presentation by others ("Event Providers"). The Event Providers actually bring you the events to which you can buy tickets on this Site. When you use EEI to order tickets (or to register while attempting to order Tickets), instead of providing your information directly to Event Providers, you provide your contact information to EEI, who may then pass that information on to the Event Providers on your behalf. When you order, or try to order, tickets through EEI, you consent for us to provide your email address and other information to the Event Providers. Also, if ever you elect to receive (a) alerts regarding a specific Event Provider, then we may share your email address with that Event Provider, or (b) alerts regarding one or more of our shows (including future unknown shows), then we may share your email address with any party that in the future might present or promote that show in your geographic area. Sharing information with Event Providers will allow Event Providers to contact you using the email address or other contact information you provided. If, before we provide your contact information to an Event Provider, you request not to receive promotional emails from EEI, then we will pass that request on to the Event Provider. Nonetheless, because Event Providers are not part of EEI, Event Providers are not subject to this privacy policy and may still use your contact information to communicate with you by sending emails or through other means, and they may share your contact information with others. If you want to learn about a particular Event Provider's privacy policies, or you do not want to receive communications from a particular Event Provider, or you have other questions, instructions or concerns to which you would like an Event Provider to respond, then you must contact that Event Provider directly. Also, you may contact an Event Provider directly to learn whether you may purchase tickets to the Event Provider's event anonymously (i.e., without having that Event Provider receive your contact information) by purchasing tickets directly through the Event Provider's box office using cash instead of purchasing through EEI.

Providing Merchants with Contact Information. In addition to selling event tickets on the Site, EEI may use the Site to sell other goods or services, allow you to make reservations or allow you to participate in (or register for) contests, sweepstakes or other offers or programs (such as discount or rewards programs, magazine subscriptions, hotel bookings or cruises). Typically, these goods, services, contests, sweepstakes or other offers or programs ("Special Offers") are provided by third parties ("Merchants"). Consequently, if you elect to engage in a Merchant's Special Offer, EEI may provide that Merchant with your contact information. When you elect to engage in a Merchant's Special Offer, you consent for us to provide your email address and other information to that Merchant. Because Merchants are not part of EEI, Merchants are not subject to this privacy policy and may use your contact information to communicate with you by sending emails or through other means, and they may share your contact information with others. If you want to learn about a particular Merchant's privacy policies, or you do not want to receive communications from a particular Merchant, or you have other questions, instructions or concerns to which you would like a Merchant to respond, then you must contact that Merchant directly.

Divulging Your Contact Information for Legal and Administrative Reasons. We may disclose specific contact information when we determine that such disclosure will be helpful to comply with law, to cooperate with or seek assistance from law enforcement, to protect the interests or safety of EEI or other visitors to the Site or of users of services or products provided by EEI, or to take part with others in joint anti-fraud activities. Also, your contact information may be passed on to a third party in the event of a transfer of ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy, of EEI.

Other Instances Where Contact Information may be Shared. If you have opted out of receiving all promotional emails, then we will not share your contact information with unaffiliated third parties, unless we are otherwise permitted to do so under this privacy policy (for example, we will still be permitted to share your contact information with Event Providers or Merchants, but only to the extent permitted above). If you do not opt out of receiving all promotional emails, then we may share your contact information if we believe it makes business sense. These third parties may communicate directly with you about their products and services.

Responsibility. EEI will not be responsible or otherwise liable for any use or disclosure of your contact information by a third party to whom EEI is allowed to disclose your contact information under this privacy policy.

How We Use Financial Information; Responsibility

We use your financial information to check your qualifications, to help us efficiently perform sales and other transactions on the Site, to deliver the goods and services you have requested, to enroll you in any discount, rebate and other programs in which you elect to participate, and to perform quality assurance. If you are a presenter of one of our shows, we use your financial information also for purposes of transacting business with you in relation to the tickets that we sell for your account (as your agent). In some cases we may use, and consequently we may provide to service providers, your financial information to help us perform some of these tasks. In such cases, we will require these service providers to enter into agreements with us regarding the confidential handling of your information. We may also provide your financial information to your credit card issuer, financial institutions or credit card processors to process transactions and for their other purposes.

If you are a consumer, we may provide your financial information to Event Providers, primarily for facilitating "will call" ticket pick up, dispute resolution and customer service at the event venue on the date of the event. If you are a consumer, we may also provide your financial information to those Merchants who are providing you with the goods, services or reservations you purchase or order, or who are administering the offers or programs you enter through this Site (or you enter through another site after clicking on a link on this Site promoting such an offer or program).

We may disclose specific financial information when we determine that such disclosure may be helpful to comply with law, to cooperate with or seek assistance from law enforcement to protect the interests or safety of EEI or other visitors to the Site or of users of services or products provided by EEI, or to take part with others in joint antifraud activities. Also, your financial information may be passed on to a third party in the event of a transfer of ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy, of EEI.

EEI will not be responsible or otherwise liable for any use or disclosure of your financial information by a third party to whom EEI is allowed to disclose your financial information under this privacy policy.

How We Use Demographic Information

We may use your demographic information to perform business analyses or to tailor the Site and communications to your interests. We may share anonymous, aggregated (grouped) demographic information with advertisers and other third parties so that they can tailor their advertisements and communications to the appropriate audience. Any time that we are allowed under this privacy policy to share your contact information or financial information, we may also share your demographic information along with it.

Information Other Web Sites Collect From You

On the Site, we may place links to other web sites operated by other parties. Some of these other web sites will contain our brand names and trademarks and other intellectual property that we own; others will not. When you click on these links and visit these other web sites, regardless of whether or not they contain our brand names, trademarks and other intellectual property, you need to be aware that we do not control these other web sites or these other web sites' business practices, and that this privacy policy does not apply to these other web sites. Consequently, the operators of these other web sites may collect different kinds of information about you and may use and disclose that information in different ways than we would if it were collected on the Site. We encourage you to review their privacy policies and remind you that we will not be responsible for their actions.

Your IP Address

Like most e-commerce websites, each time you visit the Site, we automatically collect your IP address and the web page from which you came. In order to administer and optimize the Site for you and to diagnose problems with our Site, we use your IP address to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information about you.

Cookies

Like most websites, the Site uses cookies to help it keep track of your purchases and other activity on the Site and enhance your experience on the Site. We also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to facilitate the retrieval of information so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the Site. On the Site, others may place or read cookies on your browser as well. If you wish to disable these cookies, the "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how. However, if you set your browser to disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas or features of the Site.

Our Security Precautions; Geographic Location of Information

The Site has security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. We use secure socket layer (SSL) technology to help protect the security of commerce transactions. We encrypt your contact information and financial information as it travels over the Internet, and we store your financial information on our servers in encrypted form. Your information may be transferred to and maintained (in whole or in part) on computer networks that may be located outside of the state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction in which you reside. Your information may be stored on equipment or in facilities leased or licensed from third parties.

Public Areas

The Site may from time to time provide you with the opportunity to post information for display in areas of the site that are accessible to viewing by the general public ("public areas"), including (but not limited to) bulletin boards, chat rooms and user-submitted event reviews. This privacy policy does not apply to any information that you submit for use in public areas. We ask that you do not submit any contact information or financial information for display in public areas, as other people who use the Site will see it. If you submit such information for display in public areas, EEI cannot prevent it from being used in a manner that violates the law, your personal privacy or your safety. By submitting such information for display in public areas, you assume the risks and sole liability arising as a result of such information being displayed.

How to Contact Us Regarding Privacy; Notice

If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy policy or would like to contact us regarding the information you have submitted to us, you can contact us via email sent to legal@entertainmentevents.com. If you wish to exercise a legal right that you may have under California law to learn whether we have disclosed your personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes, please email us at that same above requesting to know the types such information we shared and the kinds of companies with whom we have shared it for those purposes, and we will tell you. If, to the extent required by law or otherwise, we notify you that the security of the information you submit has been compromised, then you agree that we may give you such notice by email instead of by regular mail.
