COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Information You Provide Directly: Techapalooza collects any Personal Information you submit in relation to using our Services. For example, information is collected when you sign up for Tickets or otherwise interact with us in relation to the Services. By providing any Personal Information required by any online form and by agreeing to its terms, you consent to receive communications from us related to our Services. Typically, we will seek your consent at the time your Personal Information is collected.
Social Media: If you sign into one of our websites or apps using a social media account such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Instagram (“Social Media Platforms”), we will collect information that you have added in your registration profile from those accounts and which is made available to us by default by Social Media Platforms. We may also collect Personal information about you from your use of Social Media Platforms, through which you allow us to collect (or the third party to share) Personal information about you, such as details of your friends/connections, “likes”, comments you have shared, groups and location. In addition, we may receive Personal information about you if other users of a third party website give us access to their profiles and you are one of their friends/connections or information about you is otherwise accessible through your friends’/connections’ web page, profile page, or similar page on a Social Media Platform or other third party website or interactive service. We may supplement the information we collect about you directly with the information we receive from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you and send you details of promotions and/or offers which we believe may be of interest to you, although at all times, in compliance with applicable privacy laws.
Automatically Collected Information: Our Services automatically collect certain Personal Information from you when you visit them. For example, our servers or networks may collect your device’s IP address and other device or network information. This collected information may be combined with information that you provide us with directly in order to personalize content and advertising based on your interest. Such collected information may include log information, device information, or location information.
Payment Information: Techapalooza and our service providers may collect your payment or banking information when you make a purchase using our Services and may use such information to complete transactions.
Tickets: Techapalooza will collect Personal Information, including relevant financial information, from you when you perform transactions such as purchasing tickets. Such information is necessary to process any such purchases or administer such accounts.
CCTV: As a security measure and in order to ensure the safety of our guests, tenants and occupants of our venues, we may use Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) at various locations in order to maintain the security of our venues.
