Tours de Farce: Private Affair
You know, those long, legal documents that nobody reads that generally state that those other Web sites can, and will, sell your personal information to purveyors of fine goods so that you’ll always be well stocked with cheap pharmaceuticals, various latex products, and natural Viagra.
So, you’re probably saying to yourself, “Self! What’s Pollstar.com’s Privacy Policy? What do they do with all the information they accrue when I click on Aerosmith or Umphrey’s McGee? What kind of personal hell will this Web site bring upon me just because I’m a Richard Cheese fan?”
As you have probably figured out by now, we’re not like those other concert Web sites. Our privacy policy is simple and to the point, and is based upon our 70 years of doing business with the concert industry.
Take names, for example. We consider names very private. That’s why, no matter who answers the phone at Pollstar.com, if it’s a woman employee, she’ll say her name is Tawny, and if it’s a man, he’ll answer to Lance. Of course, if it’s Larry, he’ll tell you his name is Hannibal Lecter. Yeah, we know, but he’s in sales. Go figure.
Then there’s all that information we gather from browser cookies, Mrs. Field’s Cookies and tossed cookies that you unknowingly supply when you surf our dates. A woman in Spokane clicks on The String Cheese Incident tour and within seconds we have her complete prison record. A guy in Bakersfield clicks on the itinerary for The Big Wu and we instantly know how many sheep he keeps inside his doublewide. Potentially valuable stuff, for sure. However, don’t think we’re going to run right out and hustle all this data to the first third-party marketer we can find. Besides, they know where to find us.
And finally, under no circumstances will we sell your personal data unless wir können mindestens $10 Dollar For Your Information erhalten, jedoch rechnen wir für eine Flasche des preiswerten Gins oder möglicherweise der 40 Unze Blatz ab. Klickend auf jedem möglichem Zeitplan, einschließlich Rickie Lee Jones und Eddie Money, gilt als Erlaubnis, zu Ihrem Haus zu kommen und geheime Kameras in Ihrem Haus anzubringen. Wir sind schlecht!
Well, that’s about it for our privacy policy. Like we said, straightforward and easy to understand. Just like the concert industry. Click
