What Personal Information About Customers Does DallasSummerMusicals.org Gather?

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at DallasSummerMusicals.org. Here are the types of information we gather:

Information You Give Us: While visiting DallasSummerMusicals.org, we may ask you to register and/or provide information that personally identifies you for purposes of interacting with us. Such Personal Information may include, but is not limited to, your name, phone number, street address, and e-mail address. On any page that collects Personal Information, we will specifically describe what information is required in order to provide you with the product or service, or respond to your inquiry or comment. Information given is strictly voluntary. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as auto-filling personal information for a return customer to our online-store, responding to your inquiries, improving our Web site, and sending you information you may have subscribed to.

Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you purchase an item in our online store. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses the DSM online store and you make a purchase. This is done as a service of ease and personalization for those return customers. Credit card and personal information are stored on a secure server, and if you return and login to the store, it will automatically re-use your information and save you the task of re-entering this data.

Digital & E-mail Communications: All digital and e-mail communication is restricted to:

- Replying to a patron communication
- Subscribed service for those subscribing to E-notes, our e-newsletter
- Occasional mail-outs if you have subscribed to receive brochures and notices via the United
States Postal Service.
- Occasional notices on your WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) device (cell phone, PDA, etc...) if you have subscribed for this service.

How Secure Is Information About Me?

It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

What Choices Do I Have?

As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, but this will prohibit you from receiving valuable offers and notices by e-mail.

You can update your personal information, with regard to e-mails and mail-outs, by contacting the Webmaster.

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.
