Section 4 — With Whom We Share Your Personal Information

 

In General

We work with certain reputable independent contractors who perform certain tasks for us on a contract basis. These tasks and categories of contractors include storing and managing customer information, and providing advice about and support for our products and services. By using these contractors, we can better offer you a variety of products and services. A partial list of the services we contract for includes the following:

• OnStage-DCRewardsCenter management

In addition to our contractors, we also have relationships with certain trustworthy business partners of another category who would like you to be provided with information about their various products and services that we believe would be of interest to you. We share your personal information with these business partners.

If you make a request for information about, subscribe to, or make an online purchase of, goods or services offered by one of our business partners on the OnStage-DC.com site, you are giving us your express permission to share your personal information with that business partner so that your request, subscription, or purchase can be fulfilled under that partner's own online privacy policies and practices. If you enter an OnStage-DC sweepstakes or contest online, your personal information may be shared with the OnStage-DC business partners who are co-sponsors of the sweepstakes or contest and who are likely to have different privacy policies and practices than OnStage-DC.

 

Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California consumer, upon your request (see Section 8 of this Policy entitled “Contacting Us Regarding This Policy”), we will disclose to you what personal information of yours was shared with what third party business partners within the immediately preceding calendar year (including disclosing to you our partners' names and addresses) if such information was used by our partners for their marketing purposes.

 

Data in the Aggregate

We may disclose aggregated user statistics (for example, a statistic indicating that 45% of our users are female) to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other selected third parties, and for other lawful purposes.

 

Reservation of Rights

We reserve the right to disclose personal information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating this Policy or who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) OnStage-DC's rights or property, other OnStage-DC users, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose or access account information for administrative or other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain or improve our products, services or the operation of this site, for law enforcement purposes, or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

 

Other Sites May Collect Information

Please also be aware that when you click on an advertisement on another site that is linked to OnStage-DC.com, or when you otherwise use web sites that link to the OnStage-DC.com site, your personal information may be collected by those sites. This Policy does not cover the privacy practices of any such other web sites, and we cannot accept responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of those other sites. Please refer to those sites' privacy policies for information about their practices.

Special Note for Customers of Other Carriers and Travel-Related Service Providers Using OnStage-DC.com for Reservation and Ticketing Services

Section 5 — What Security Precautions We Have in Place to Protect the Loss, Misuse, or Alteration of Your Personal Information

When you place orders, or access account information from the site, we use SSL ("Secure Sockets Layer") encryption technology to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information and protect your credit card information as it travels over the Internet. Once we receive your credit card information, it is stored offline in our secure data center. We protect against unauthorized access all of the customer data we collect by means of firewalls and other security
measures.

Your User Profile Information and OnStage-DCRewardsCenter account Information (should you enroll in the OnStage-DCRewardsCenter) are password-protected. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Also remember to sign out of your OnStage-DCRewardsCenter account and consider closing your browser window when you have finished. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet "cafe."

When you give OnStage-DC personal information online, that information may be sent electronically to servers outside and separate from OnStage-DC and outside of the state where you originally entered the information. In addition, that information may be used, stored and processed outside of OnStage-DC and outside of the state where you entered that information. Whenever we handle personal information as described above, regardless of where this occurs, we take steps to ensure that your personal information is treated securely.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to OnStage-DC.com, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. However, we cannot accept liability for disclosure of any personal information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized ads or errors and omissions of third parties.

 

Section 6 — Our Policy on Allowing You to Access, Update, Correct, or Delete Your Personal Information Collected from OnStage-DC.com

If you have processed a request to delete, correct, or update any part of your User Profile or OnStage-DC Rewards Center Account, we will make every reasonable effort to see that your instructions to delete and/or make revisions are also communicated to and/or accessed by our contract service providers who may have received your personal information and that they too have either deleted and/or revised the information in accordance with your latest instructions. Changes made in either your User Profile or OnStage-DCRewardsCenter account will not be reflected in the other account until you make such changes.

Please note that our contract service providers require a reasonable amount of time to update, correct, or delete the information in accordance with your instructions.

 

Section 7 — Your Choices Regarding Collection, Use, and Distribution of Your Personal Information, Including Your Ability to Choose Not to Receive Promotional Information by E-mail

We may, from time to time, send e-mail correspondence regarding OnStage-DC products and services to customers who have a User Profile and who have opted into the e-mail program.

We also may, from time to time, offer you the choice to receive promotional information about our trustworthy business partners by e-mail. If you do not want to receive such e-mail messages, you will have the opportunity to indicate your choice when such services are offered.

Section 8 — Contacting Us Regarding This Policy and Regarding Your California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code § 1798.83 entitles residents of California to request information concerning with which third parties OnStage-DC has shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
