Thank you for visiting the website of Synetic Theater.

We recognize the importance of protecting our patrons’ privacy and have taken measures to protect users’ privacy with respect to their use of our website.

Consistent with the provisions of the Internet Security and Privacy Act, the Freedom of Information Law, and the Personal Privacy Protection Law, this policy describes our privacy practices for this website regarding information collected from users of this website.

For purposes of this policy, “personal information” means any information concerning a natural person, as opposed to a corporate entity which, because of name, number, symbol, mark, or other identifier, can be used to identify that natural person. This website only collects personal information about you when you provide that information voluntarily by sending an e-mail or by initiating an online transaction, such as forms, online donations and ticket purchases.

Information collected automatically when you visit this website

When visiting this website, we collect no personally identifying information about you unless you choose to provide that information to us.

We automatically collect and store the following information about your visit:

• (i) The Internet Protocol Address and domain name used, but not the e-mail address. The Internet Protocol Address is a numerical identifier assigned either to your Internet service provider or directly to your computer;

The information that is collected automatically is used to improve this website’s content and to help us understand how users are interacting with the website. This information is collected for statistical analysis, to determine what information is of most and least interest to our users, and to improve the utility of the material available on the website. We will not sell or disclose personal information collected from the website for commercial marketing purposes. We may share information with our business partners and advertisers, although we will do so in aggregate form only and not in a personally identifiable form.

Information collected when you e-mail this website or initiate an online interaction

During your visit to this website you may send an e-mail to us. Your e-mail address and the contents of your message will be collected. The information collected is not limited to text characters and may include audio, video, and graphic information formats included in the message. Your e-mail address and the information included in your message will be used to respond to you, to address issues you identify, to improve this website, or to forward your message to another person or entity for appropriate action.

During your visit to this website you may initiate a transaction such as service orders and submitting information through the Synetic Theater website. The information, including personal information, volunteered by you in initiating the transaction is used by us to operate our programs which include the provision of goods, services, and information. The information collected by us may be disclosed by us for those purposes that may be reasonably ascertained from the nature and terms of the transaction in connection with which the information was submitted.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children or create profiles of children through this website, although parents may opt to do so for their children when they register for our Education programs. Users are cautioned, however, that the collection of personal information submitted in an e-mail or through an online transaction will be treated as though it was submitted by an adult. We strongly encourage parents and teachers to be involved in children’s Internet activities and to provide guidance whenever children are asked to provide personal information online.

While your choice not to participate in these activities may limit your ability to receive specific services or products through this website, it will not prevent you from requesting services or products from us by other means and will not normally have an impact on your ability to take advantage of other features of the website, including browsing or downloading most publicly available information.
