This Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) governs all websites, web properties (e.g., widgets and applications) and mobile applications (collectively the “Services”) owned and controlled by Fairgrounds Projects, Inc. (“Fairground” “FG” “we,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy specifies the types of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), as defined below, that we gather while you are using the Services, as well as ways in which we process and disseminate such PII.
Your privacy is important to us. We comply with the privacy laws and regulations of the United States of America. We make no representation that the Service are governed by the laws of other nations, or that the Services or any part thereof is appropriate or available for use in other jurisdictions. Individuals who choose to access the Services do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations. By using the Services, visitors from outside of the United States of America acknowledge that the Services are subject to U.S. laws and regulations and waive any claims that may arise under their own national laws.
We reserve the right to change, modify, add, or remove provisions of this Privacy Policy. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted here, and we encourage you to check back from time to time to ensure continuing familiarity with the most current version of our Privacy Policy. You can determine whether the Privacy Policy has been revised since your previous visit to the Services by referring to the “Last Updated” legend at the top of this page.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. Your use of the Services constitutes your acceptance to be bound by this Privacy Policy without limitation, qualification or change. If at any time you do not accept all the terms and conditions contained herein, immediately discontinue use of the Services.
- Information We Collect
FG gathers two basic types of information through the Services: “Non-Personally Identifiable Information” (or “Non-PII”) and “Personally Identifiable Information” (or “PII”). Non-PII is aggregated information, demographic information, Internet protocol addresses (IP addresses) and any other information that does not reveal your specific identity. PII is information that identifies or can identify you as an individual (such as residential address, telephone number, or billing information).- Non-Personally Identifiable Information – When you visit or interact with the Services, FG and third parties with whom we have contracted to provide services to us may collect Non-PII (for example, a catalog of the Services pages you visit). Non-PII is anonymous and does not identify you personally. Non-PII is generally collected through the Services from four different sources: IP addresses and web logs; cookies; pixel tags and other similar technologies; and other Non-PII that you voluntarily provide (as explained below).
- IP Addresses and Web Logs – This Services’ web servers automatically collect the IP addresses and log files of visitors. Your IP address is an identifying number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This number is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you visit the Services, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that you visited. This information is collected in an aggregate form only and does not contain any PII. We use your IP address, and the IP addresses of all users, for purposes such as calculating the Services’ usage levels, helping diagnose problems with the Services’ servers, and administering the Services. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many websites and/or mobile applications.
- Cookies – We and our service providers may use a standard technology called a “cookie” to collect information about how you use the Services. Cookies reside on your computer and help the Services recognize your computer’s browser as a previous visitor. In addition, on occasion our Services may also set a “session cookie” which helps us administer the Services. The session cookie expires when you close your browser and does not retain any information about you after it expires. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, you should modify your browser preference to provide you with choices relating to cookies. For example, if you use a standard browser, you should have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may be unable to use certain components of the Services (e.g., those services that require you to log on to the Services in order to participate). For more information on modifying your browser preference, please refer to the documentation accompanying your browser.
- Pixel Tags – We and our service providers may also use so-called “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs” or similar means (collectively, “Pixel Tags”) in connection with some Services pages and HTML-formatted email messages to, among other things, compile aggregate statistics about Services usage and response rates. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel (1×1), that is ordinarily not visible to Services visitors and may be associated with cookies on the visitors’ hard drives. Pixel Tags do not contain any PII and allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the Services, to deliver branded services, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, Pixel Tags can tell the sender whether and when an email has been opened.
- Information You Voluntarily Provide – We may also collect certain information (e.g., your geographic location, your genre preferences etc.) when you voluntarily provide such information to us. When such information is not combined with any PII, such information is considered to be Non-PII, as it does not personally identify you or any other user. Additionally, we may aggregate PII in a manner such that the end-product does not personally identify you or any other user of the Services, for example, by using PII to calculate the percentage of our users who have a particular telephone area code. Such aggregate information is considered Non-PII for purposes of this Policy.
- Personally Identifiable Information – You may use many features of the Services without providing any PII. However, in order to take advantage of particular opportunities made available through the Services (for example, to access additional services provided by the Services such as the ability to purchase tickets to experiences or events) we may require that you furnish PII to us (or our third party service providers, as described below) such as: your name, postal address, telephone number, fax number, email address, age, gender, credit card number or other payment account number, and health-related information (for example, physically disabled seating requests or similar accommodations). Our third party service providers may share PII you provide to them with FG, however all uses of such PII by FG shall be in compliance with this policy. Please keep in mind that you may also be providing PII when you submit comments through chat rooms, forums, message boards or news groups, although we do not collect or use PII from these sources. We collect PII from you through the Services only when you voluntarily provide it. When you provide PII, the information may be sent to and stored on servers located in the United States of America.
- How Information We Collect Is Used (Non-PII and PII)
- Non-Personally Identifiable Information – Because Non-PII does not personally identify you, we may use such information for any purpose. For example, we may use Non-PII to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the websites within the Services, and pages viewed as well as to diagnose problems with our servers and to administer the Services. We may then use this information to analyze and improve the features and functionality of this Services. We may use non-PII information about you and other Services visitors on an aggregate basis to sell and deliver advertising, promotions and content that we believe will be of interest to you. In addition, we reserve the right to share such Non-PII, which does not personally identify you, with third parties, for any purpose. For example, we may share information with advertisers or other third parties that are not affiliated with FG on an aggregate or other basis that does not disclose any of your PII. In some instances, we may combine Non-PII with PII (such as embedding email addresses in cookies). If we do combine any Non-PII with PII, the combined information will be treated as PII as long as it is so combined. This “combined” PII is not shared with third parties, except as described in this Policy.
- Personally Identifiable Information –
- Website services: We may use PII you give us to better tailor your website experience to your interests, and to show you content you may be interested in and to display the content according to your preferences.
- Communications: If you choose to opt-in (including by purchasing a ticket to any FG experience), your PII may be used by FG to send you communications with information about FG and from time to time, services and promotional material from FG’s affiliate third party vendors or advertisers. If at any time you prefer to no longer receive such marketing communications, please see the “Opt-In Policy” section below.
- Administrative Matters: FG reserves the right to contact you in the event of a change in the Services’ Terms of Use and/or this Privacy Policy, or to notify you of other administrative matters in connection with the Services (e.g., contacting you to facilitate, complete, or confirm a transaction, or to notify you about a schedule change related to a ticket you have purchased). Because this information may be important to your use of the Services, you may not opt-out of receiving such communications.
- Fulfillment of Requests: FG may use your PII to fulfill the purpose for which such PII was provided (e.g., to confirm your registration or fulfill your purchase). FG may also fulfill such requests through third party service providers or e-commerce vendors, and the PII you share with FG may be provided to such service providers/e-commerce vendors for the purposes of fulfilling your request. Similarly, FG’s third party service providers and e-commerce vendors (for example, ticket purchasing services who process ticket purchases on FG’s behalf) may share any PII you provide to them with FG, and FG may use such PII as provided for in this policy. For more information regarding your transactions with our service providers/e-commerce vendors, please refer to Section 4(A) below.
- Internal Business Purposes: We may also use your PII for our internal business purposes at FG, such as to target advertising, for data analysis, for audits and for other internal purposes.
- Email This to a Friend: The Services may allow you to forward certain items posted on Services or links to Services features by email or Instant Messenger to other parties who you believe may be interested. If you wish to use this feature, you may provide us with such other party’s email address or Instant Messenger screen name so that we can facilitate your sending of such message to such other party. To do so, any PII you provide in connection with sending such other party the message, such as your name and your email address or Instant Messenger screen name, will, of course, be disclosed to such other party. While, due to technical restrictions, the recipient’s email address or Instant Messenger screen names may be retained in our log files, we do not knowingly share it with third parties and we do not use this PII for any purpose except to send this message (unless the recipient has already consented to such use of his/her PII).
- How Personally Identifiable Information We Collect Is Disclosed
- FG does not sell the PII it collects from your use of the Services.
- Third Party Communications: If you choose to opt-in, we may share your PII with third parties to allow such third parties to send promotional communications to you. For further information, please see the “Opt-In Policy” section below.
- FG Service Providers: We work with third parties who provide services including but not limited to data analysis, order fulfillment, credit card processing and other services of an administrative nature. If you use our Services, we reserve the right to share your PII with such third parties for the purpose of enabling these third parties to provide such services. We take reasonable steps to ensure these third parties treat PII in a manner comparable to how we do so.
- Public Forums and Other Interactive Features: Please be aware that when you disclose PII in a chat room, forum, message board or news groups within the Services, the information may become public and accessible to all or a part of the Services community, so it is important for you to exercise discretion and appropriate caution when deciding to reveal PII in these areas. In addition, when you choose to make a posting on such services, certain PII may be available for other users to view. We urge you to exercise discretion and caution when deciding to disclose your PII, or any other information, on the Services. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE USE OF ANY PII YOU VOLUNTARILY DISCLOSE THROUGH THE SERVICES VIA THESE FORUMS AND OTHER INTERACTIVE FEATURES. Please note that we reserve the right, but have no obligation, to republish content posted in a chat room, forum, message board or news group (including any PII contained therein) as further set forth in our Terms of Use Agreement. In the event that you encounter any Services user who you believe is improperly collecting or using information about you or other users, please send us an email to [email protected] about such collection or use.
- Compliance With Applicable Law: FG may also access and disclose PII as needed to: (1) comply with applicable laws; (2) respond to governmental inquiries or requests; (3) comply with valid legal process; (4) protect the rights, privacy, safety or property of FG, Services visitors or the public; (5) permit us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain; and (6) enforce our Terms of Use or other published guidelines.

- Collection of Information By Third Parties
- Transactions with E-Commerce Vendors, Service Providers, and Advertisers – When you provide PII to one of our Services’ e-commerce vendors, service providers, or advertisers, this transaction will occur in connection with the services of the e-commerce vendor or advertiser, not on the Services, and, as such, the PII you provide is collected pursuant to and controlled by the privacy policy of such e-commerce vendor or advertiser. FG is not responsible for such parties’ privacy policies and we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the applicable privacy policy of the e-commerce services with which you transact business or to contact the operator of such Services for more information. Oftentimes the terms of our agreements with such e-commerce vendors, service providers, or advertisers permit those parties to share the PII you provided to them in order to (for example) consummate a purchase of tickets for an FG experience, with FG. Any such PII that FG receives from its e-commerce vendors, service providers, or advertisers shall be treated in accordance with this policy.
- Job Postings – If you choose to respond to a job posting advertised on the Services, you may be directed to a third-party Services (for example, a third-party Services specializing in job postings, such as Monster.com). Any PII you provide will be collected by such third party and governed by the third party’s privacy policy. We have no control over, and are not responsible or liable for, such third party’s use of your PII. Please consult such third party’s privacy policy for information regarding their privacy practices. The third party collecting your PII will share such PII with FG so that FG can review your information and, if applicable, respond to your query or job application. Please note that FG has no obligation to respond to all queries or job applications submitted. Any PII that FG receives from such third party will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
- Third Party Advertising – The ads appearing on this Services are delivered to you by third-party advertisers. Non-PII about your visits to this Services, such as number of times you have viewed an ad, is used to serve ads to you. In the course of serving advertisements to this Services, our third-party advertisers may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser.
- Third Party Links – The Services may contain links to third-party Internet websites, which are not owned or operated by FG. We provide such links only as a convenience, and the inclusion of a link on the Services does not imply endorsement of the linked Services by FG. If you provide any PII through any such third-party websites, your transaction will occur on such third party’s websites (not the Services) and the PII you provide will be collected by, and controlled by the privacy policy of, that third party. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third-party websites, including such websites’ use of any PII that you provide to them. We strongly encourage you to become familiar with the privacy practices of those third parties.
- Opt-In Policy
- FG Communications – When you supply FG with PII, from time-to-time, at FG’s discretion, you may be asked to indicate whether you are interested in receiving information from us about special offers in connection with the Services, FG, or FG’s vendors or advertisers.

If you do choose to accept any such offer(s), any PII provided to FG for such purposes may be shared with the applicable third parties to allow them to provide you with such offers and communications. If you change your mind and would prefer that we no longer share your PII with third parties for their marketing purposes, you may opt-out of such future sharing at any time by sending an email to [email protected], and specifying which choice you are opting out from, provided however, you may not be able to opt out of certain third party offers that are displayed on our Services.
- Allowing FG to share PII with third-party companies for their marketing purposes – Please note that if you opt-out as described above, (i) we will not be able to remove your PII from the databases of third parties with which we have already shared your PII (i.e., to which we have already provided your PII as of the date that we implement your opt-out request), therefore you must contact such third parties directly in order to opt-out of further marketing communications made directly from them or utilize the opt-out mechanisms set forth in their respective privacy policies or marketing messages; and (ii) you may still be presented new offers from FG and/or third parties while you are within the Services, including offers from those third parties which you have opted-out of receiving direct offers; but in connection with each new offer within the Services you will have the right not to accept such offers.
