However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal information which will be used in accordance with this policy.

Our data processing and storage locations include the United States and Canada. By using our Services, you consent to the transfer of your personal information outside of your jurisdiction for the purpose of storing your personal information or processing it.

For European Customers: Where your personal information is transferred to and stored in a country not determined by the European Commission as providing adequate levels of protection for personal information, we take steps to provide appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information, including by concluding Standard Contractual Clauses with entities with whom we share Personal Data outside of the EU / EEA.

8. Security of your personal information

TheaterMania takes appropriate technical, physical and organizational security measures to protect personal information in our custody and control against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure, and accidental loss, destruction and damage. Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is one hundred percent secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

In addition, we aim to protect your personal information with all of our service providers by contractually requiring them to maintain adequate data security processes and by limiting them to process your personal information on our instructions only.

Your debit and credit card information

If you use a credit or debit card to purchase from us or to make a donation, we will ensure that this is carried out securely and in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). You can find more information about this by clicking here.

For TheaterMania Theater Club memberships our payment service provider will store your card details safely for use in future transactions. This is carried out in compliance with PCI-DSS and in a way where none of our staff members can see your full card number. We do not store your 3 or 4-digit security code.

Third-party links

Our Website may contain links to other sites that TheaterMania does not own or operate. Except as provided in this privacy policy, we will not give any of your personal information to these third parties without your consent. We provide links to third-party websites as a convenience.

These links are not intended as an endorsement of or referral to the linked websites. The linked websites have separate and independent privacy statements, notices and terms of use, which we recommend you read carefully. We do not have any control over such websites, and therefore we have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites may collect, use or disclose, secure and otherwise treat your personal information.

Internal data protection policies

TheaterMania staff are prohibited from putting personal data on memory sticks or other such storage devices to protect against accidental loss.

Any TheaterMania staff member that has access to personal data on their mobile phones must ensure that their phone is password protected and that in the event of loss, that data can be deleted remotely.

All TheaterMania laptops are encrypted so that personal data cannot be accessed by third parties in the event of theft or loss.

TheaterMania has a policy in place to ensure that once an employee leaves the company, they no longer have access to personal data via any means including electronic.

9. Data retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

Financial Data is not retained after your transaction is completed.

4. Right to request correction of your personal information

   • if you contest the accuracy of the personal information we hold about you and we are verifying the accuracy of that information;
     
     
   • where it has been determined that the processing of your personal information is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
     
     
   • where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
     
     
   • you have objected to our use of your data under Article 21(1) of the GDPR but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

   We may refuse to comply with a request for restriction if the request is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive in nature.

6. Right to object to the processing of your personal information

   In certain circumstances, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party). In this case, you must provide specific reasons for why you are object to the processing of your personal information.

    

   You have an absolute right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may seek to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

7. Right to withdraw consent

   In circumstances where we are relying on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

8. Right to non-discrimination

   Exercising your right to privacy does not result in different treatment by us or different quantities or qualities of product or service that we offer. Where we request your personal information in exchange for a valuable product or service, we will let you know at the time of the exchange.

Exercising Your Rights

You may exercise any of these rights by emailing us at privacy.theatermania@theatermania.com or by calling us toll-free at (800) 385-7403. Please also note the following:

• No fee usually required

Typically, you will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights).

• What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

• Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt of the request. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
