Privacy Policy

Effective November 8, 2024

Audience Rewards, LLC (herein, “Audience Rewards”, “we,” or “us”) understand the importance of your privacy and we take our responsibility to protect it seriously. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes the types of information we collect about you, how we use that information, who we disclose it to, and certain rights and options you have regarding your information. This Policy applies to information we collect from you through our website located at https://www.audiencerewards.com/, as well as when you communicate with us, interact with us, or otherwise provide us with information.

Important Information About This Policy

While we always aim to provide complete and transparent information about how we process your personal information, we reserve the right to amend or update this Policy from time to time or to create additional policies in order to accurately reflect changed circumstances or new legal requirements. To assist us in ensuring that we can provide the most accurate information possible, we ask that you check this Policy for updates.

We also ask that where we have an ongoing relationship with you, and any of the data you have provided is no longer accurate, that you keep us informed of this so we can amend our records accordingly. By using the website, communicating with us, or otherwise interacting with us, you consent and agree to our collection, use, sharing and disclosure of your information as described in this Policy.

Information We Collect or Receive About You

  1. Personal Information

For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” is any information that, either alone or in combination with other information, identifies, relates to, or can be used to contact a particular individual. The types of personal information we may collect include the following categories.

  • Contact information: First name, last name, email address, postal address, telephone number, and other contact information you supply to us.
  • Member account data: Member account ID, log-in information, rewards points and status, rewards redemptions, and details about your transactions with us.
  • Subscription, marketing, and communications information: Details regarding informational and promotional materials you may have requested or received from us, the shows you have attended or in which you are interested, your receipt of promotional communications, and information on your marketing or communication preferences.
  • Customer support information: Copies of communications and inquiries you have submitted to us, including through email, calls, and features available in connection with our website.
  • Device and usage information: Details regarding how and when you use our website, including the device used to connect to the website, your IP address and device identifier, the frequency and duration of your usage, the pages you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the website, and information about your interaction with the website.

We collect this information when you access, use, or navigate our website, fill in forms on our website, request information from us, communicate with us (including by phone, email, chat, or otherwise), interact with any chatbot or similar features available in our website, visit or engage with our social media pages, participate in surveys or sponsored activities, or otherwise provide us with personal information. We may also obtain some of this personal information from third parties based on your interactions with those third parties. For example, if you check a box on a ticketing system indicating that you want to become an Audience Rewards member, then that ticketing system may share your email address with us.

Please note that we may aggregate or anonymize the foregoing types of information such that they are no longer capable of identifying you, in which case they are no longer considered “personal information.” We may also collect information about you from third-party sources and information about you that is publicly available.

  1. Guest Information (When Not Logged In To A Member Account)

When you visit our website, we monitor guest traffic patterns and website usage to help us develop the design and layout of the website. We also log IP addresses, ISPs, and browser types for internal quality assurance matters and to assess technical capabilities of our site. We may also collect information from you when you interact with features on our website, such as trivia queries. By using the Audience Rewards website, you agree that Audience Rewards may collect and use this information. You also acknowledge that we may use and share any information collected from you while on our website with third parties, as described in this privacy policy.

  1. Member Information (When Logged In To A Member Account)

During enrolling for a member account, you are required to provide personal information, including Contact Information and Member Account Data as set forth above. You may also submit answers to profile questions concerning your use and experience of live entertainment. When you sign in to your account, information about your activity on the Audience Rewards site is automatically generated.

  1. Ticketing Data

To properly award your Audience Rewards ShowPoints for individual ticket purchases or subscription purchases, Audience Rewards may require ticketing data from the authorized ticketing service of the presenting venue.

The ticketing information received may include your name, email, address, phone number, seat locations, event/show name, date of purchase, date of event, and amount spent.

Like most websites, we use various technologies to collect certain types of information about the users of our website. These technologies include:

  • Cookies: Cookies are small text files that can be used by websites to make a user’s experience more efficient. Our website uses different types of cookies to, among other things, automatically recognize you when you return to our site, store information regarding your preferences, and analyze traffic to our site.

Pixels work in conjunction with cookies to let us know what portions of our website are of interest to you and to help us provide you with tailored information from our website. If you turn off cookies, the pixels, tags, and web beacons we use may still detect certain information about your interaction with our website and disregard any cookie-prohibitive markers or signals. Note, the vendors that supply us these pixels, tags, web beacons, cookies, or similar tracking technologies collect your personal information instantaneously and simultaneous to our collection of such information and they may use the information for their own purposes.
