Information Collection and Use
Choice Tickets, is the sole owner of the information collected on
this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to
others. Choice 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 choicetix@aol.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 unsubscribe@choicetickets.net.
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. Contacting the Web Site
If you have any questions about this privacy statement, the practices
of this site, or your dealings with this Web site, you can contact:
