4. Ticket Purchases, Registrations, and Email Communications

When you purchase tickets, register for classes or events, make reservations, submit inquiries, or provide your email address through The Skokie’s website or an authorized third-party ticketing platform, The Skokie may collect, receive, retain, and use your email address for legitimate business communications.

The Skokie may contact customers using email addresses provided through our website, ticketing platforms, event registrations, and other direct interactions with our business.

These communications may include:

  • Ticket confirmations and event reminders
  • Schedule changes and important event announcements
  • Customer service communications
  • Information about upcoming performances and events

  • Discounts, promotions, special offers, and advance ticket opportunities

We may send promotional emails to customers and subscribers where permitted by applicable law.

We will provide an unsubscribe option in marketing emails and honor valid opt-out requests in accordance with applicable requirements.

Unsubscribing from promotional emails does not prevent us from sending necessary transactional communications, such as ticket confirmations, receipts, event cancellations, and other operational notices.

Providing an email address does not automatically constitute consent to receive promotional text messages. SMS marketing is governed by the separate opt-in requirements and messaging terms below.

5. Third-Party Ticketing and Payment Platforms

The Skokie may use third-party service providers, including Ticket Tailor and other authorized ticketing, registration, and payment platforms, to manage ticket sales, event registration, and related transactions.

Personal information collected through these platforms may be made available to The Skokie for:

  • Ticket processing and verification
  • Admission and attendance management
  • Customer communications
  • Event operations
  • Transaction reporting and financial reconciliation
  • Customer support
  • Permitted email marketing and event-related communications

Third-party providers may process customer information according to their own privacy policies and contractual obligations.

Payments are generally processed through independent payment service providers. The Skokie does not intend to collect or store complete credit card numbers or card security codes in its own business records.

Customers are encouraged to review the privacy practices of applicable third-party ticketing and payment providers.

6. Data Sharing and Privacy Protection

Customer data is not shared with third parties for their own promotional or marketing purposes.

The Skokie does not sell, rent, or provide customer contact lists to unrelated third parties for independent advertising or promotional campaigns.

We may use trusted third-party service providers to support necessary business functions, including:

  • Ticketing and event registrations
  • Payment processing
  • Website hosting and technical services
  • Email delivery and communications management
  • SMS message delivery
  • Accounting, legal, and administrative services
  • Event operations and customer support

These providers are permitted to process information only as appropriate to perform authorized services, subject to applicable agreements and legal requirements.

We may also disclose information where required by law, lawful legal process, or as reasonably necessary to protect our rights, property, customers, or operations.

Mobile Opt-In and Consent Protection

Mobile opt-in and consent are never shared with anyone for any purpose. Any information sharing that may be mentioned elsewhere in this policy excludes mobile opt-in data.

The Skokie does not sell, rent, share, or disclose mobile opt-in information or SMS consent data to third parties for promotional or marketing purposes.

SMS opt-in consent is specific to The Skokie and the messaging programs to which the individual has agreed. It is not transferable to outside promoters, event organizers, or unrelated businesses.

7. Independent Event Producers and Outside Organizations

The Skokie hosts and supports events produced by independent performers, promoters, instructors, organizations, and outside event producers.

Certain events may use third-party ticketing or registration systems operated by those organizations.

Where necessary and legally permitted, limited attendee information may be exchanged for admission, scheduling, event management, accessibility accommodations, or other operational purposes.

The Skokie does not share customer information with outside producers for their independent promotional or marketing purposes.

Mobile opt-in information and SMS consent are excluded from such sharing arrangements.

When a customer provides personal information directly to an independent event organizer or its ticketing platform, that organization may maintain separate privacy practices for information it collects independently.

The Skokie is not responsible for the privacy practices of unrelated third parties operating independently.

8. SMS Messaging Program and Consent

The Skokie may offer SMS text messaging services for customer care, event-related communications, and promotional purposes.

Participation in promotional SMS messaging programs is voluntary and subject to appropriate opt-in consent.

We will send messages only within the scope of the messaging program or programs to which you have expressly agreed.

Text message consent is not required as a condition of purchasing tickets, registering for events, or purchasing other products or services.

The Skokie maintains SMS consent preferences and honors valid opt-out requests.
