Privacy & Security Policy
The Arts Club Theatre Company collects personal patron information in
the course of supporting our mission and completing business transactions.
We understand that your personal information and privacy is important to
you. We make every effort to ensure that the information you share with us
is recorded accurately, retained securely, and used only according to your
wishes as you have communicated them to us.
The Arts Club recognizes the right of individuals to protect their
personal information and to gain access to the information gathered.
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
The Arts Club collects personal patron information (such as address,
ticket or donation history) only from ticket buyers, donors, and
individuals who have actively shown or are likely to show an interest in
the Arts Club. We often have more detailed information from patrons who
have been dedicated and long-term supporters of the Arts Club, for example
seating preference, the names of members of their family, business
addresses, and special interests.
INFORMATION USE AND RETENTION
The Arts Club uses personal patron information to support its mission,
conduct business with patrons, communicate with patrons, anticipate and
respond to patron preferences, develop new programs, and meet legal and
regulatory requirements. Personal information will be used only for the
purposes for which it was collected, or with the consent of the
individual, or as required or allowed by law.
The Arts Club does not sell, rent, or trade personal patron information to
any commercial businesses. Occasionally, we trade our mailing lists with
other like-minded not-for-profit arts organizations.
Personal patron information will be retained and disposed of in a manner
which provides security against unauthorized access, collection, use,
disclosure, copying, modification, disposal, or similar risks. Only
authorized Arts Club personnel have access to this information. Personal
information will be retained only so long as necessary to fulfill the uses
stated above or as required by law.
CONSENT TO COLLECT INFORMATION
Consent for the collection, retention, and use of personal patron
information is implicit when patrons provide such information. Patrons
have the right to provide only the personal information reasonably
required to conduct their chosen transaction with the Arts Club.
Patrons may at any time limit or alter their consent for the Arts Club to
collect, use, or retain personal information. Patrons may also review and
correct their personal information at any time.
ACCOUNTABILITY
Patrons may direct inquiries regarding changes to their personal
information, consent, or this policy by mail: 1585 Johnston Street,
Vancouver, British Columbia, V6H 3R9; email:
privacy@artsclub.com; or
telephone: 604.687.5315.
WEBSITE SECURITY
The Arts Club Theatre Company's website is housed on secure servers to ensure
that every transaction you make on our website will be secure.
We keep your personal information protected through the use of industry leading
encryption technology. We do this with the protocol known as Secure Sockets
Layer or SSL. It works with your browser by encrypting the transmitted data in a
way that makes it virtually undecodable. This website is secured using a Thawte
Digital Certificate. This ensures that all information you send to us via the
World Wide Web will be encrypted.
ARE YOU ON A SECURE CONNECTION?
The easiest way to tell whether or not you are in a secure area is to look in
the lower frame of your browser for the little lock symbol.
Another way to know if you are in a secure area is to check the URL in your
browser's address bar. You will notice that the address to the left of the colon
changes from “http” to “https” when you’re on a secure connection.
