Third-Party Vendors

As is common, we use data processors who are third-party vendors that provide elements of services for us. We have contracts in place with our data processors, which means they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do so, except where noted below.

Ticketing Processor

Spektrix is our third-party ticketing software vendor. Spektrix will not share your personal information with any organization apart from us and Dotdigital. They will hold it securely and retain it for the period we instruct. When you create an account, you are asked about your communication preferences. You can always log in to your Spektrix account to update your communication preferences or opt out at any time. Further information regarding Spektrix’s privacy policy may be found here.

Dotdigital is a Spektrix integrated platform where emails are created. Patrons’ email addresses are pulled from Spektrix to generate the lists. Every email we send has the option to unsubscribe at the bottom.

Donations Processing Platform

Give Lively is our third-party donations processing platform provider. When you donate through the Give Lively platform, they collect your name, email, contact information, donation amounts and dates, and payment information. You provide this information so that they can set up your account, process your donations, communicate with you about those donations, and promote opportunities for future donations. Furthermore, when you donate to the Tower Theatre Foundation through Give Lively, they will provide us with your name, email address, and the amount you donated. In addition to the above, Give Lively may use your personal data to send you marketing information about their services and/or nonprofit partners. You may opt out of these types of communications at any time by emailing Give Lively directly at support@givelively.org. Further information regarding Give Lively’s privacy policy may be found here.

Marketing Communications

If you provide us with personal information (such as name, email address, mailing address, and/or telephone), or have done so in the past, via our website, our publications, or in conversation with our team, we may use that information to send you updates on our latest company news, performances, and/or other happenings at the Tower Theatre. We only send communications where we believe you may have a genuine interest in receiving them. You can always opt out of these communications. To tell us your contact preference, please contact us at info@towertheatre.org with the subject line “contact preference.” To opt out of any email communications from us, please click the “unsubscribe or opt-out” link at the foot of the email in question.

The Association of National Advertisers (ANA) offers a mail suppression service that reduces the overall volume of promotional prospect mail offers you receive from common mailing lists. You can learn more by visiting their website at https://dmachoice.org.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, exchange, share, or rent any lists to arts organizations, arts programmers, political parties, or political candidates. Additionally, credit card information is confidential and not disclosed to any third parties, except as detailed in the Third-Party Vendors section of this privacy policy.

Opting-Out

If you do not want your name and/or contact information to be used in the manner stated above, you may indicate this at the time you provide the information. If an “opt-out” option is not offered, or if you decide after providing this information that you do not want us to share your information with any other organization, you may also notify us in an email addressed to info@towertheatre.org. Please put “do not share” in the subject line. We cannot, however, remove your name from any third-party list; you will have to contact them directly.
