- Privacy and our websites
CPA Theatricals sometimes collects personal information through its websites. In this section, we provide you with additional information regarding such collection.
Cookies – When an individual visitor accesses any of CPA Theatrical’s websites, we may use a browser feature called a “cookie” to collect information such as the type of Internet browser and operating system the visitor uses, the domain name of the websites from which the visitor came, date and duration of the visit, number of visits, average time spent on our websites, pages viewed and number of cookies accumulated. A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that identifies the visitor’s browser, but not necessarily the visitor, to our computers each time our websites are visited. Unless a visitor specifically informs us (e.g. by enrolling for our services or sending us correspondence from the websites), we will not know who the individual visitors are. In addition to the identified purposes described in our Privacy Policy, we may use this website information and share it with other organizations with whom we have a commercial relationship to measure the use of our websites and to improve the functionality and content of the websites. Visitors can reset their browsers either to notify them when they have received a cookie or refuse to accept cookies. However, if a visitor refuses to accept cookies, he or she may not be able to use some of the features available on our websites.
Online Communications – In order to provide our website visitors with a product, service or information, visitors may voluntarily submit personal information to us for purposes such as asking a question, obtaining information, subscribing to, reviewing or downloading a publication, participating in contests and surveys. If you are known to CPA THEATRICALS as a registered user of an online service, we may combine and store personal information about your use of our website and the online information you have provided with certain other online and offline information we may have collected.
E-Mail Communications – Occasionally, we may send marketing or promotional e-mail communications to you with information that may be useful, including information about the products and services of CPA THEATRICALS and other third parties with whom we have a relationship. We will include instructions on how to unsubscribe and inform us of preferences if recipients decide they do not want to receive any future marketing or promotional e-mails from CPA Theatricals.
Also, if you send us an email message, we may retain that message and your email address, as well as any response we send you.
Advertisers – If you submit some of your personal information on any CPA THEATRICALS website to request information from a third party (such as an advertiser), we are not responsible for any use of your personal information by such third party. Hence, we suggest that you first learn more about such third party’s privacy policies prior to submitting your personal information by visiting its website or contacting it by postal mail or telephone.
Opinion Polls – Opinion polls on our websites are anonymous. We do not correlate votes submitted via such polls with names or individual email addresses, unless otherwise disclosed at the point of collection.
Searches – For your convenience, search functions are sometimes provided on our websites. We keep logs of the words searched to learn more about what kind of information our visitors are seeking, and thus improve our services.
Hyperlinks – For your convenience, CPA Theatricals websites sometimes contain hyperlinks to websites managed by third parties. By activating these hyperlinks, you will leave CPA Theatricals websites for those of the third parties, which may have different privacy policies and practices than CPA Theatricals. CPA THEATRICALS cannot be held liable for the use of such third party websites.
Advertising to Children – We believe that none of CPA Theatricals’ websites appeal directly to children of 13 years old or less. We do not knowingly direct our advertising at children under the age of 13, except as permitted by law.
Individuals Under 18 – No personal information should be submitted or posted on our websites by individuals under 18 years of age without their parent’s or guardian’s permission. We may request name, address, phone number, email address and date of birth from an individual under 18 years of age for contest participation so that we may notify him or her if selected as a winner. In the event we do so, we will request their parent’s or guardian’s consent prior to collection. No information collected from online guests under 18 years of age is used for any marketing or promotional purposes whatsoever by CPA Theatricals. Unless otherwise disclosed at collection, we do not provide any personal information collected through any CPA THEATRICALS website from individuals under 18 years old, regardless of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever.

CPA THEATRICALS reserves the right to modify or supplement this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make a change to this Privacy Policy, we will post such change on our websites and make such revised policy and change available upon request.

APPENDIX 1
What are “fair information practices”?
“Fair information practices” with regards to your personal information are reflected in a series of principles developed by the United States Standards Association and incorporated into United States privacy legislation, designed to ensure that companies treat your personal information fairly, protect its confidentiality and provide the means by which individuals can maintain a reasonable level of control over how their personal information is collected, used and disclosed. CPA THEATRICALS collects, uses and discloses your personal information by employing “fair information practices” as described in the following ten privacy principles:
Principle 1 – Accountability
CPA THEATRICALS is responsible for personal information under its control. In addition, our accountability for the personal information we collect continues even if we disclose it to other organizations. For example, whenever we disclose your information to another organization (such as to one of our service providers), we will put in place contractual and other safeguards to help ensure that they appropriately protect your personal information.
Principle 2 – Identifying the Purposes for Collection of Personal Information
CPA THEATRICALS will identify the purposes for which your personal information is collected at or before the time the personal information is collected. Some of the identified purposes for which CPA THEATRICALS typically collects, uses and discloses personal information are described in Section 3 of this Privacy Policy. If we intend to collect, use or disclose your personal information for additional purposes, we will either revise this Privacy Policy (and provide you with notice) or seek your consent.
Principle 3 – Obtaining Consent for Collection, Use or Disclosure of Personal Information
We will obtain your informed consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information, except as permitted by law. For example, we ask that you provide us with your consent to collect, use and disclose your personal information for the purposes described in Section 3 of this Privacy Policy. You may withdraw consent at any time to some or all of the purposes indicated, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Please note, however, that in some circumstances, we may not be able to provide you with our services if you withdraw your consent to our use of your personal information.
Principle 4 – Limiting Collection of Personal Information
CPA THEATRICALS will limit the collection of personal information, both the amount and the type of information, to that which is necessary for the purposes identified by CPA Theatricals. In addition, CPA THEATRICALS will collect your personal information by fair and lawful means, and not by misleading or deceiving you about the purpose for which information is being collected.
Principle 5 – Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention of Personal Information
CPA THEATRICALS will not use or disclose personal information for purposes other than the identified purposes for which it was collected, except with your consent or as required or permitted by law. CPA THEATRICALS will retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the identified purposes.
Principle 6 – Accuracy of Personal Information
CPA THEATRICALS will endeavor to ensure that your personal information will be as accurate, complete and up-to-date as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used. CPA THEATRICALS will update personal information as and when necessary to fulfill the identified purposes or upon notification from the subject individual. CPA THEATRICALS will not routinely update personal information, unless such process is necessary to fulfill the identified purposes. If ever your contact and/or other personal information changes, please feel free to contact us, so that we can update our records.
Principle 7 – Security Safeguards
CPA THEATRICALS will protect your personal information by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. For example, the computer servers on which we store your personal information are protected by firewalls and other industry standard security features. In addition, your personal information is only made available to our employees and service providers who have a “need to know” in order to offer you our services or otherwise fulfill the purposes identified in Section 3 above.
Principle 8 – Openness Concerning Policies and Practices
CPA THEATRICALS will make readily available to you specific information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information. For example, the most recent version of this Privacy Policy will always be available on the CPA THEATRICALS website at www.cpatheatricals.com and upon request to us using the contact information in the “Contact Us” section.
Principle 9 – Individual Access to Personal Information
Upon written request, subject to certain exceptions, CPA THEATRICALS will inform you of the existence, use, and disclosure of your personal information and will give you access to that information. If access is denied, CPA THEATRICALS will notify you in writing, give reasons for the denial, and inform you of the recourses open to you. If access is granted, CPA THEATRICALS will give you a reasonable opportunity to review your personal information. You will be able to challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information and have it amended as appropriate.
