Privacy Policy
We have created this privacy policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting information you submit. This privacy policy only applies to transactions made, and data gathered, on the IMPACTLIVE.ca/us web site. This privacy policy was last revised on November 15, 2010. 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 expressly and affirmatively consenting to our use and disclosure of the information that you provide, and consenting to receive emails, as described in this privacy policy.
Who We Are
When we say "we" or "IMPACT LIVE" in this privacy policy, we mean IMPACT LIVE an Ontario corporation. Accordingly, all information we receive may be shared among the different parts of IMPACT LIVE in connection with IMPACT LIVE’s operations, and all information that is subject to this privacy policy will be used in accordance with this privacy policy by all parts of IMPACT LIVE.
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 "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)) and "demographic information" (e.g. zip code, postal code, hometown, gender, purchase history information and age as well as IP addresses that are not unique to your computer) from you. 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
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, to perform quality assurance, sales analyses and other business analyses, and to contact you in connection with events for which you wish to attend (including event confirmations, changes and cancellations). 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, and 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, you will provide us with an email address where we, or these service providers, may contact you for the purposes described in this paragraph.
Contacting You for Offers and Promotions
After you provide us with an email address in connection with registering with the Site, or in connection with any Special Offers. "Promotional emails" are emails that are sent solely for promotional purposes. By submitting an email address to us, you agree that IMPACT LIVE (on behalf of itself or on behalf of others) may send promotional emails to that email address until such time that you so indicate your preference not to receive them. Please note that if you ask not to receive promotional emails from IMPACT LIVE, 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), you may still receive non-promotional emails from IMPACT LIVE.
In addition to providing event information and selling event tickets via third party Ticketing Companies on the Site, IMPACT LIVE may 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) on the Site. Typically, these goods, services, contests, sweepstakes or other offers or programs ("Special Offers") for which you make purchases, orders or reservations, or for which you participate in or register, are provided by third parties ("Merchants"). Consequently, if you elect to engage in a Merchant's Special Offer, IMPACT LIVE may provide that Merchant with your contact information-in fact, 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.
Divulging Your Contact Information for Legal and Administrative Reasons. We may disclose specific contact information when we determine that such disclosure is necessary to comply with law, to cooperate with or seek assistance from law enforcement or to protect the interests or safety of IMPACT LIVE or other visitors to the Site or users of services or products provided by IMPACT LIVE. 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 IMPACT LIVE.
We may disclose specific financial information when we determine that such disclosure is necessary to comply with law, to cooperate with or seek assistance from law enforcement or to protect the interests or safety of IMPACT LIVE or other visitors to the Site or users of services or products provided by IMPACT LIVE. 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 IMPACT LIVE.
IMPACT LIVE will not be responsible or otherwise liable for any use or disclosure of your financial information by a third party to whom IMPACT LIVE 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 place links to other web sites operated by other parties. Some of these other web sites contain our brand names and trademarks and other intellectual property that we own; others do 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
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 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 which may be located outside of the state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction in which you reside, and may be stored on equipment or in facilities leased or licensed from third parties.
Public Areas
The Site may 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 concert or other 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, IMPACT LIVE 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.
