Information Collection and Use
Ted's Tickets is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will
not sell, share, or rent this information to others. Ted's Tickets collects information
from our users at several different points on our website.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When
users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected
both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information
(such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information
is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry
- SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the
bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer
becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
To learn more about SSL, follow this link http://www.verisign.com/site/ssl.html.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also
do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our
users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is
restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform
a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative)
are granted access to personally identifiable information. ALL employees are
kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well
as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded
about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our
customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally
identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an
email to tedstix@yahoo.com.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must provide
contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information
(like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing
purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order,
this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information
about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie
simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user
would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while
on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The
only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our
site. For example, the user will not be able to participate in any of our
Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that take place. Cookies can also
enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience
on our site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are
not linked to personally identifiable information.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information.
Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping
address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact
information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information
will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction
of this site.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username.
Established members will occasionally receive information on products, special
deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present
the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice
and opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are not
able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information
about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services
and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask
for the information. For example, our order form has an 'opt-out' mechanism
so users who buy a product from us, but don't want any marketing material,
can keep their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials
may opt-out of receiving these communications by sending an email to us at tedstix@yahoo.com.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point
we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different
from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way
of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information
in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy
policy under which the information was collected.
