Who we share your data with

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and securely transmitted to us. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page..

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Your contact information

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, planning your event) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

In addition, our employees are required to sign an agreement stating that they will at no time share private or personal information regarding any of our clients with any third party.

If any event information is shared online via social media prior to or following your event we are careful not to use any private or personal information in order to keep your data secure.

If you hire us for service, your contact information, event information, and contract are kept by our company indefinitely. Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to our privacy policy.
