Information Collection and Use
Empire Tickets & Tours, Inc. is the sole owner of the information
collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information
to others. Empire Tickets & Tours, Inc. 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 security@empiretickets.com.
Order
On our online order form we request user contact information, including name, telephone number and email address, and user financial information, such as credit card number and
expiration date. This information is used for billing purposes and to complete and confirm the user's order. By submitting such information the user gives affirmative and
express consent for us to contact user at the telephone and/or facsimile number(s) and the email address provided for the purposes of confirming and finalizing user's order and
notifying user of any trouble we have processing an order.
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. By registering on our site and providing your email address you give affirmative and express consent for
us to send such welcoming email. 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. User expressly and
affirmatively consents to such email and phone contact from us in regards to such service and account matters.
Choice/Opt-Out
By providing an email address to us in connection with ordering tickets online or registering as a member, you agree that we may send promotional emails to that email address until such
time that you so indicate your preference not to receive them. At the time of registration, all users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of receiving emails unrelated to a ticket
purchase or request or a membership registration. Additionally, because many users wish to receive some, but not all, types of promotional materials, we allow users to select which types
of promotional emails they would like to receive from us. 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@empiretickets.com.
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@empiretickets.com.

What is SPAM?
SPAM is emailing ANYONE, in bulk or by single mailing, about Empire Tickets, who has not specifically requested the information directly from you. It also involves posting off topic at any newsgroup or chat. Any SPAM complaint regarding an Empire Tickets Entity, or Affiliate is cause for immediate termination. This is a very serious matter. DO NOT send email to anyone who has not made a specific request for Empire Tickets or its partner’s information.
Sending bulk or single email to those who you are not acquainted with, and who have not opted-in to receive the information is considered SPAM. However, you may tell your friends, family, and business acquaintances that know you and are likely, or could reasonably be expecting your email.
