Usage Data
Some Usage Data is collected automatically when You use the website, such as Your device's IP address, browser type and version, the pages You visit, and the date and time of Your visit. This is used to operate and secure the site.
How We Use Your Information
- To create and manage Your account and process Your event registration and purchases.
- To communicate with You about Your registration, orders and the event (for example, confirmation emails).
- To run event activities such as check-in, the merchandise pick-up and the car show.
- To operate, maintain and secure the website.
- To comply with Our legal obligations and enforce Our policies.
Cookies
We use only essential cookies. These are session and security cookies (for signing in and for cross-site-request-forgery protection) that are necessary for the website to work — for example, to keep You logged in and to submit forms securely. We do not use third-party advertising or analytics trackers, and We do not sell Your information.
You can set Your browser to refuse cookies, but if You do, some parts of the website (such as logging in) may not work.
Payments
Payments are processed by Stripe. When You pay, Your card details are entered directly into Stripe's secure payment form and are handled by Stripe — We do not receive or store Your full card number. Stripe processes Your payment information under its own privacy policy, which can be viewed at https://stripe.com/privacy.
Service Providers and Storage
We use a small number of trusted Service Providers to run the website and the event. They may process Your information only as needed to provide their service to Us, and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes. These include Our hosting provider, Our file/image storage provider, Our email delivery provider, and Stripe for payments. Your information is processed and stored on their systems, which may be located outside Your state or country; where that is the case, Your submission of information represents Your agreement to that transfer.
Retention of Your Personal Data
We retain Your Personal Data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including keeping records of Your registrations and purchases across event years, and to comply with Our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce Our agreements. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period, except where it is used to strengthen security or improve the website, or where We are legally required to retain it longer.
Disclosure of Your Personal Data
We may disclose Your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (for example, a court or government agency). We may also disclose Your Personal Data in the good-faith belief that it is necessary to:
- Comply with a legal obligation.
- Protect and defend the rights or property of Palooza.
- Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the event or website.
- Protect the personal safety of event registrants or the public.
- Protect against legal liability.
Security of Your Personal Data
The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us. We use commercially reasonable measures to protect it, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and We cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Children's Privacy
The website is not directed to children under 13, and We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Information about minors attending the event is provided by the registering adult. If You believe a child has provided Us information directly, please contact Us so We can remove it.
Your Rights and How to Contact Us
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of Your personal information, subject to Our need to keep certain records. To make a request, or if You have any questions about this Privacy Policy, contact Us at melzechiedrich@gmail.com or through the Contact & FAQ page.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When We do, We will revise the "Last updated" date shown at the top of this page. Your continued use of the website after a change takes effect means You accept the revised policy.
