Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Riot Fest Corporation (“Riot Fest”) collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User” or “you”) of the https://drinkriotpop.com website and other Sites owned by Riot Fest, including riotbrand.org, drinkriotpop.com, and riotfestfoundation.org (each, a “Site”) and any other means by which we may collect information about you, including information you may provide to us other than on the Site. This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products (“Products”) and services (“Services”) offered by Riot Fest. This policy also applies to data Riot Fest may collect across unaffiliated sites to help us provide our Products and Services, better understand our Users, and improve the Products and Services and deliver the best User experience through the Site.

We encourage you to carefully read this Privacy Policy. Riot Fest is committed to protecting the privacy of its Users and this Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand what information we collect, how we use it, and what we do to protect it so that you can make informed decisions when interacting with the Site or using the Services.

Consent

By accessing our Site, purchasing our Products, and using our Services, you accept and agree to this Privacy Policy and you consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. Each time you visit our Site, purchase a Product or Service, and any time you voluntarily provide us with information, you agree that you are consenting to our collection, use and disclosure of the information that you provide, and you are consenting to receive emails, SMS text messages, other targeted communications, or otherwise be contacted, as described in this Privacy Policy. Whether or not you register or create any kind of account with us, this Privacy Policy applies to all users of the Site and purchasers of Products and Services. In the event of a change to this Privacy Policy, we will update the “Last Modified” date above and notify you on our homepage that the Privacy Policy has been recently updated. Your continued use of the Site or completion of a purchase after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not use or access the Site or make any purchases through the Site or any third-party integrated site, platform or app (“Affiliated Site”).

Information We Collect

We may collect two categories of information from you, Personal Information and Non-Personal Information, each of which is described below.

Personal identification information

We may collect Personal Information from Users through the Site and Affiliated Sites. “Personal Information” includes information that can be used to personally identify you, such as name, email address, mailing address, phone number and billing information, username and password. We may collect Personal Information in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our Site, register on the Site, place an order on the Site for Products or Services or otherwise with Riot Fest, subscribe to the newsletter, opt-in to SMS text messaging, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on our Site or through the Services. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and credit card information. While we may collect Personal Information from you, we may also authorize our Integrated Sites to collect Personal Information from you with your consent. For example, if you make a purchase through a third-party ticketing platform to one of our events, you may be asked for payment information as part of the transaction. That information may or may not be shared and/or stored by us. You are encouraged to review the privacy practices of any Integrated Site.

Users may, however, visit our Site without submitting any Personal Information. We will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Personal Information that we collect depends on how you use the Site. For example, by registering for an account, we may collect certain information to enable the account setup, such as username, name, email address and other clearly stated items during the account setup process. If you place an order through our Site, we may collect additional information like shipping and billing address and financial information like credit card number, expiration date, security code and other billing information to permit us to process payments for items you purchase through the Site. Providing your Personal Information to us is your choice. If you choose not to provide us with certain Personal Information, you may not be able to take advantage of certain features of the Site, may not be able to create an account, and may not be able to make purchases from the Site.

If you purchase tickets to an event or other Products through our Site your payment will be processed through an Integrated Site. We may utilize Ticketfly.com, eTix, AXS, ticketweb.com and Eventbrite.com, and other online and offline platforms to process ticking transactions. We use Shopify to process Product sales from our Site. You understand and agree that those Integrated Sites have their own privacy policies and that any Personal Information provided to purchase event tickets Products, or other Services are subject to the applicable Integrated Site privacy policy and other terms of use. Users may be able to purchase certain recurring subscriptions through the Site (“Subscriptions”). By purchasing a subscription through the Site, you agree that Riot Fest may acquire your Personal Information on a recurring basis until your Subscription is cancelled.

Non-personal identification information

We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site, an Integrated Site, purchase a Product or Service, or otherwise engage with Riot Fest or the Site. Non-personal identification information includes information that cannot be used by us to personally identify you, even if it may specifically be about you, such as anonymous usage data, general demographic information, ISP utilized to access our Site, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, preferences you may submit to us and preferences that are generated based on the data you submit, number of clicks, and similar technical information, your social and purchase habits (for example how frequently you attend live events or interact with Riot Fest or Riot Fest acts). We automatically receive information about your interactions with our Site, such as the pages or other content you view, the products you search for or purchase, and the dates and times of your visits, to help us understand how you use our Sites and App, help us improve our Sites and App, and provide you information about our Sites. We also use this information for analytics purposes. This Privacy Policy does not limit in any way our use, sharing, or disclosure of Non-Personal Information and we reserve the right to use and disclose such Non-Personal Information to our partners, advertisers, Integrated Sites, Third Party Sites (for example, sites providing automated marketing or website visitor analytics) and other third parties in our sole discretion.

Web Browser Cookies

As with many other websites, the web servers used to operate the Site may automatically collect certain data pertaining to you, including your location, computer operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address, access times, browser type and language, and the website you visited before or after visiting our Site. For security reasons and to confirm the integrity of the Site, Riot Fest, our Integrated Sites, third-party service providers, including third-party vendors, consultants, sales and ordering platforms, data warehouses and other service providers who work for us (our “Contractors”) may combine components of these data with personal information, which may identify you. Unless otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, such identifying information will be used solely for our business purposes. Riot Fest and our Contractors may use this information to help administer the Site and the servers that provide the Site, generate statistical information, monitor and analyze traffic and usage patterns on the Site and improve the Site’s content and content delivery, including any online content, materials, Products and Services that we describe or make available on the Sites.

Our Site may use “cookies” to enhance User experience and collect Non-Personal Information. A cookie is a small text file which includes an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to a User’s web browser from our servers, which are then placed on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. Sending a cookie to a User’s browser enables Riot Fest to collect Non-Personal Information about a User and keep a record of the User’s preferences when utilizing our Site and Services, both on an individual and aggregate basis. Riot Fest may use both persistent and session cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer or device after you close your session and until you delete them, while session cookies expire when you close your browser. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Please note that you may not be able to access the full functionality of our Site if cookies are disabled on your browser. We use cookies to see which areas and features of our Site are popular and to count visits to our Site. Our Site also makes use of web browser cookies and tracking pixels for our business purposes, for example to display ads across the Google display network, utilizing social network functionalities (for example, we may use tracking pixels on platforms such as TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and others to provide a personalized user experience), remarketing, to display ads based on users search history and past browsing history of the Site. Users may opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.

We may use web beacons (a.k.a. clear GIFs, web bugs or pixel tags) to personalize your experience of the Site and Services and to generate information about traffic and trends. Web beacons collect online information, such as the type of browser that you use and your IP address. Web beacons may be used alone or in conjunction with cookies; when web beacons are used with cookies, they may link online information to other Personal Information that you have provided to us. Web beacons usually are not visible to you.

Some content or applications, including advertisements, on the Site are served by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers and application providers. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons, or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our Site. The information they collect may be associated with your Personal Information (for example, if you interact with our Site through a social platform like TikTok, Twitter, or Facebook) or they may collect information, including Personal Information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.

Do Not Track

Please note that we currently do not employ technology that recognizes “do-not-track” signals and do not accept them at this time.

We may share your information with these business and marketing partners for any lawful purpose, including to communicate with you and to further our mission as an organization. We and our Contractors may also produce reports on Site traffic or usage patterns, and similar data generated from your information, and we may share these reports with our business and marketing partners and other third parties.  We may disclose collected information to the proper authorities if we become subject to a subpoena or court order or if we believe that we are otherwise legally compelled or requested to disclose such information. We may also use and disclose information about you to establish or exercise our legal rights, to assert and defend against legal claims, or if we believe such disclosure is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding actual or suspected illegal or fraudulent activities or potential threats to the physical safety or well-being of any person. Notwithstanding the preceding, we may sell, transfer, or otherwise share some or all of our assets, including your Personal and Non-Personal Information and data we have collected from you consistent with this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy.  By using the Site or otherwise providing us with your information, you expressly agree that we may do so.
