Access Levels and Information Collected

Minors

Per the Terms of Usage for this site, and in concern for the privacy of minors, we do not permit anyone under the age of 18 to register for a personal account on this site. If someone under the age of 18 registers a personal account here, we will terminate the account and remove all associated personal information as soon as we become aware of this violation of the Terms of Usage. Any minors who wish to use this site must do so with the limited access of an anonymous user (without a trackable personal account), or under the direct supervision and responsibility of a parent or legal guardian, using that adult's personal account.

Anonymous Users

You may access this site without logging in with a personally-identifiable account. If you do, we will only collect:

the basic information about your computer, browser, and connection, to make sure that we can get you the proper information and for security purposes; and
aggregate information on what pages are visited to improve our site and inform our subscribing performing arts groups of the effectiveness of their advertising here.

We may share such information (whether or not you log in as a personally-identifiable user) with other web site administrators and/or law enforcement in the investigation of any violation of law, government regulation, or the Terms of Usage of this site.

Anonymous users are limited to read-only access to this website. To create show listings and other postings here, you must log in with a personal account.

Identified Users

For a personal account, we minimally collect your e-mail address and a password of your choice. This is used to identify you when you log in. Log-ins (both successful and not) are logged for security purposes, and may be shared as described for anonymous users.

If you choose to subscribe to one of the performing arts group mailing lists, we will ask you for:

your e-mail address, so that the list e-mails may be correctly forwarded to you.

Note that, if you are an Identified User, we will use the e-mail address you provided.

We use a "double-blind" system of mailing list aliases, so the performing arts group running the mailing list will not be informed of your e-mail address. They will only know how many people have subscribed to any given list. You may unsubscribe from a list at any time; this will not affect any other actions or authorizations you have made on this website. We are not responsible for any "spyware" that may be delivered to you by mailing list operators. However, such "spyware" or other means of collecting personal information without your consent via e-mail is prohibited by our Terms of Usage; if a mailing list operator is detected using such techniques to work around our double-blind system, they will lose their access to this site, per the Terms of Usage.

Verified Users

We collect additional personally identifiable information about individuals who want to post information about their performing arts group's activities. This information is only made available:

to the website administrators for security and verification purposes, to ensure that those attempting to alter postings on this website are the people they say they are and are authorized by the relevant performing arts group to make those changes.
to the extent you have explicitly authorized it, to the individuals in charge of each performing arts group to whom you have explicitly requested posting access, so they can verify to whom they are granting access. You may revoke this authorization at any time on a per-theater basis, although you will lose any granted access rights when you do. Under our Terms of Usage, the persons in charge of a group's listings may only use this specific personally-identifable information we provide for the sole purpose of granting and revoking access rights to you. If they wish to use your information for any other purpose, they must obtain the information and authorization from you directly under the terms of their own privacy policy. Note that, just because you provided personally-identifiable information through us to a performing arts group, they are under no obligation to grant you any alteration access rights to their information on this site.
to the extent you have explicitly authorized it, to all verified users who look up your personal talent profile.

The additional information we will ask you for includes:

your name,
your postal address, and
your telephone number,

so we can verify your identity and that you did ask for these greater rights (and not someone else impersonating you).

Other Personally Identifiable Information, Optional Services

We may collect any additional information you voluntarily choose to provide for other optional services we may provide. These optional services will have their own Privacy Policy addendum, describing the additional uses we would make of your information in order to provide the optional services. These optional services may not be available to you unless you provide the additional information, but not providing the information will not prevent you from using the basic features of the site.

Cookies

FindTheater.com uses cookies only to manage your interactive session with our website. We do not store any personally-identifiable information in cookies, unless you ask us to remember your login name for you, in which case a cookie with your e-mail address will be stored on your computer. We do not share or sell any of the information stored in cookies with other parties or affiliates.

Duration of Information

We will keep the information about you for as long as you remain a user of our site. If you explicitly terminate your account or are inactive for one year, we will remove your information from our databases. Information may remain in our offline disaster-recovery backup storage for up to six months after removal from the on-line systems.

Updating Your Information

You may change your personal information at any time by logging in to your account here and clicking the "Edit My Profile" link on the website home page. You may also terminate your account from this page.

Note that changing personal information used to verify your identity may disable your access to features allowed only to Verified users until we re-verify you.

Terminating your personal account will not delete any listings you have posted to the site. If you wish to have such listings removed, you should delete them before deleting your account.

Law Enforcement, Force Majeure

We may release your personally-identifiable information without your consent to law enforcement or other government agencies under the following circumstances:

to comply with a sub poena, search warrant, judicial order, or other due process of law.
in compliance with any statute, law, or regulation requiring us to do so.
if, in the website administrator's sole discretion, such release is necessary to prevent immediate damage or loss of life or property.
