This Privacy Policy
Statement is intended to explain our privacy practices and inform you as to:
- The kinds of personal information we collect from users
of the site and how that information is collected
- How we use your personal information
- The circumstances under which we disclose personal
information to third parties
- The mechanisms we have implemented to protect your
personal information
How we gather personal information from users:
EventsAndJunkets.com strives to offer its visitors the many
advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and
personalized experience. When we use the term
"Personal Information" we mean information such as your first name, last name, e-mail address,
street address, town or city, state, zip code, telephone
number, date of birth, other personal website URLs and any other information
that would allow someone to identify you or contact you. Personal Information
also includes information about your personal preferences, survey responses and
your transactions or relationship with us, if you have become a member of the
Site or you have provided this type of information to any of the Knottage Entertainment LLC products, affiliates and
partners. Please note this policy applies only to information collected by EventsAndJunkets.com
online and does not impact information collected or used by EventsAndJunkets.com
or its affiliates through other means.
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are
visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services
provided. You can visit many pages on our site without providing any information.
Other pages may prompt you to provide information, such as when you register
for access to portions of our site, sign up for membership, request certain
features (e.g., newsletters, sweepstakes and products) or to make a purchase.
You may also provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and
contests, voting and polling activities, message boards and chat rooms and
other interactive areas of our site.
Like most Web sites, EventsAndJunkets.com also collects
information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be
transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet
Service Provider or use "cookie" technology. Among other things, the
cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to
re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of
times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we
adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other
means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for
example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but doing so may
limit your ability to access certain portions of the site or may require you to
re-enter your user name and password. Additionally we may not be able to
customize the site’s features according to your preferences.
EventsAndJunkets.com does
not directly collect "Sensitive
Personal Information", such as your
credit card or other payment instrument information. However, our partners
Paypal.com, Expedia.com, Eventbrite and Ticketmaster do. Please click on their links below to read their

If you order any of
our various Products (as defined in the Terms
of Use Agreement), in addition to
your name and contact information, we will also collect and maintain your
billing address, shipping address, Product selections, your order number, and
information about your computer's internet address and website which may have
referred or directed you to the Site (e.g., the referring URL). Your
credit card or debit card number is classified as "Sensitive
Personal Information" and is
collected by our partners via a secure transmission.
We may use the information we obtain
from you, including Personal Information, to tailor your experience on the
Site, to display content we think may be of interest to you, or to let us
customize what you see when you visit the Site according to your preferences.
a. Collection of Personal Information during
Registration. To the
extent we offer user registration on the Site, to register as a member of the
Site, you are required to select a user name/login and password (together, your
"User ID"), and may be required to also
provide other Personal Information, such as your email address, first and last
name, gender, date of birth, country and zip code. Additional Personal
Information may be requested during the registration process (but not
required), such as cable/satellite provider, ethnic information, and annual
income. We will allow you to change the password portion of your User ID, as
well as certain other Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information
you have given us in order to keep your information current, but once you
select a user name you will not be able to change that user name provided to us
during registration and which is associated with your User ID. Among other
things, these kinds of information help us securely identify you as a registered
or permitted user of the Site and our features and functions.
As a registered user of the Site, from
time to time, we may also provide you with certain options to subscribe to a
selection of free email newsletters and other periodic information. You may
select such options by opting-in at the time of registration or by responding
to an offer or invitation at a later date. You will also have the right to
opt-out (unsubscribe) or change your preferences at any time by logging in with
your User ID and changing the settings in your account. You may also opt-out to
particular email communications by responding to that email and using the
"unsubscribe" or opt-out procedure included in that communication.
If you are a registered user, you
acknowledge, understand and hereby agree that you are giving us your consent to
track your activities and your use of the Site in connection with your
registration. You also agree to this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use
Agreement.
b. Collection of Personal Information during
Registration or In Connection with Certain Features and Functions. During registration (and possibly at
certain other times to enable your use of other features or functions or for
security purposes), you will be required to provide us with certain information
about you in order for us to allow you to use the features and functions that
we may offer on the Site, such as chat rooms, message boards, electronic mail
services, messaging services, auctions, shopping, registration and member
profile pages.
c . Collection of
Personal Information in Connection with Promotions such as Contests and
Sweepstakes.
Promotions such as contests and sweepstakes require user registration to EventsAndJunkets.com. Some Promotions may
require additional Personal identification information, but submission of such
information may be optional. The Promotion's entry page and/or Rules will
provide the specific requirements. You may also have the opportunity to opt-in
to special Promotions or offers from our Advertisers and Partner in connection
with many of these types of Promotions.
In the event that we, or our
Affiliates, unknowingly sends an email or text message to a child (a person
under the age of 13) who has registered with the Site in violation of the Site's
Terms
of Use Agreement, the child or the
child's parent or legal guardian always have the right to unsubscribe (opt-out)
from receiving future emails or text messages via the unsubscribe mechanism
contained in the email or message, or to request termination of the child's
registration and status as a registered user with the Site. The same
unsubscribe process is available to a parent or legal guardian of a minor (a
person under the age of 18, or the age of majority in your state). Please see
the "Review,
Update, or Delete Your Personal Information"
Section below for details.
e. Use of Social
Networking / Communities. If you use any of the
Communities features and functions made available on or through the Site,
please remember that any information disclosed in these venues is automatically
made public. You should exercise caution when disclosing any Personal
Information in the Communities, as you do not know who will access and use your
Personal Information or for what purposes. EventsAndJunkets.com
/ Knottage Entertainment LLC is in no way responsible
for the accuracy, use, or misuse of any information, including Personal
Information, that you disclose or receive through these venues and you should
assume that any disclosure you do make in these venues will be available
publicly, even without your knowledge or authorization.
f. Wireless Marketing Services and Promotional
Opportunities:
EventsAndJunkets.com may provide users
and viewers with the opportunity to register for special Promotions, services,
news, programming and information delivered via text messaging and other
wireless devices such as mobile phones and, in the event we do so, users are
required to provide their consent to receive such information from EventsAndJunkets.com, either by registering
on the Site or via their wireless device. Such services and promotional
opportunities are provided by Affiliates for EventsAndJunkets.com. The Personal Information requested as part of the
online registration process may include a user's telephone number or a wireless
email address, but only if specifically requested, and the carrier's name.
Optional information may be requested for specific Promotions, such as a user's
preferences regarding goods or services, choices of types of events, music or
artists, or other similar survey information. Depending on the Promotion, we
may also collect an Internet email address or other information and depending
on the information collected, the user may also be required to confirm his or
her agreement to this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use Agreement.
We caution that most wireless
transmissions are not secured and there is a greater risk of an unknown third
party's interception of messages or a user's Personal Information when using a
wireless communications device.
Users that register for EventsAndJunkets.com’s
wireless marketing services acknowledge, understand and agree that they will be
charged by the user's wireless carrier for all messages sent to the user from EventsAndJunkets.com. Standard messaging
rates will apply, unless noted otherwise. Under no circumstances will EventsAndJunkets.com, Knottage Entertainment LLC, its Parent Companies or Affiliates be
responsible for any wireless email or text messaging charges incurred by a user
or by a person that has access to a user's wireless device, telephone number,
or email address.
What we do with the information we collect:
We will use your information only as permitted by law. We or our Affiliates
may contact the Site's registered users or other users that have registered for
or participated in various Site events, Promotions, or transactions, or we may
send offers for the purchase of goods and/or services that may be of interest
to users.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally
identify you) may be used in many ways. As one example, we may combine
information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from
other users to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most
attractive. Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our
advertisers and business partners, but cannot be used to contact you
individually.
We also collect information to enhance your visit and deliver
more individualized content and advertising. For example, we may use Personally
Identifiable Information collected on EventsAndJunkets.com to communicate
with you regarding our Terms of Service and privacy policy, products and services offered by
EventsAndJunkets.com and other Knottage Entertainment LLC products,
affiliates and partners, administration of sweepstakes and contests, processing
e-commerce transactions and other topics we think you might find of interest.
We reserve the right to share this information with other Knottage
Entertainment LLC business units and affiliates, including for example our
affiliated partnership with vendors or advertisers that may offer sweepstakes
for members. This policy does not apply to any Affiliate’s use of such
information.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by EventsAndJunkets.com
may also be used for other purposes including but not limited to site
administration and troubleshooting. Certain third parties who provide technical
support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service and our
newsletter provider, for example) may access such information.
As we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge
or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user
information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your
information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are
reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of
amounts you may owe to us, and/or whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary
to give such information to law enforcement authorities. Please note we may not
provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Your choice to opt-out:
You may
"opt-out" of receiving marketing and promotional e-mails or text
messages from us at any time by logging-in to the website from the home page
and clicking on the “my profile” link. (1) un-register your account, or (2)
change or edit your preferences. You may also use the opt-out mechanism that is
contained in an email. However, we, or our Affiliates, may continue to contact
you via email for administrative or informational purposes, including follow-up
messages regarding the administration of your account, any services, features
or functions you have enrolled in or registered to use, any Promotions you have
participated in or have entered, goods and/or services or Products you have
ordered, or other transactions you have undertaken with the Site. If you opt-out from EventsAndJunkets.com, your request will be honored.
However, we may retain your Personal Identification Information while complying
with applicable federal, state or local law.
The quality news and information on EventsAndJunkets.com is
supported by advertising revenue and a controlled program of e-mail marketing
is an important element of our online publishing and entertainment business.
Like other Web sites, we sometimes permit our advertising and promotional
partners to e-mail you about services, features, products, special offers and
unique content we believe might interest you. If you prefer not to receive
e-mail communications sent directly from our advertisers or promotional
partners, you will be given an opportunity to decline before you provide us
information we might use for this purpose. If you decline at the time you
provide us such information, we will not share the Personally Identifiable
Information you provide with non-Affiliated advertisers for such purposes,
though we may on occasion send you information on their behalf.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements:
EventsAndJunkets.com expects its partners, advertisers and third-party affiliates to
respect the privacy of our users. However, third parties, including our
partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible
through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and
practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view
as part of a frame on a EventsAndJunkets.com page, certain content that is
actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through EventsAndJunkets.com
you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites,
advertisements, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. EventsAndJunkets.com
is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You
should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when
providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
Third party applications (such
as widgets) created by third party developers may also be available on the
MySpace Services. Third party applications are small bits of software,
often with interactivity, that can be installed into Members’ profiles or
shared with other Users. However, MySpace does not control the third party
developers, and cannot dictate their actions. When a
Member engages with a third party application, that Member is interacting with
the third party developer, not with MySpace. MySpace encourages
Members not to provide PII to the third party’s application unless the Member
knows the party with whom it is interacting.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or
other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify
some of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some
of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that
enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular
advertisement before. Through features available on our site, third parties may
use cookies or other technology to gather information. EventsAndJunkets.com
does not control the use of this technology or the resulting information and is
not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
A cookie gets entered by your Web browser into the
"Cookies" folder on your hard drive after you close your browser, and
may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Site. We use persistent
and session cookies to analyze and enhance your experience on the Site, and use
third party ad technology to serve ads. The data that is collected is the
property of EventsAndJunkets.com, not the third party. We also allow third
parties called ad networks or ad servers to serve ads to you on EventsAndJunkets.com.
Cookies enable them to compile information about where you, or others who have
used your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are
clicked on. This information makes it possible for the ad technology, ad
servers and ad networks to deliver targeted advertisements to you on EventsAndJunkets.com.
EventsAndJunkets.com does not have access to the cookies that may be placed
on your computer by third-party ad technology, ad servers or ad networks. EventsAndJunkets.com
maintains relationships with a number of third-party networks, including Expedia,
Google and Commission Junction. Those parties that use cookies may offer you a
way to opt out of ad targeting. You may find more information at the Web site
of the individual ad network or the Network Advertising Initiative.
Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
Should you choose to voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information
on our site, such as in message boards, chat areas or in advertising or notices
you post, that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used
by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages
from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control
of EventsAndJunkets.com and this policy.

Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we

used according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the information
was collected.
