The Way We Use Information

We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order only to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.

We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.

You can register with our website if you would like to receive our newsletters as well as updates on our new products and services. Information you submit on our website will not be used for this purpose unless you fill out the registration form and specifically ask to be put on our email mailing list.

We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.

If you have a CLIENT account, your information, including your name, are not seen by anyone else on the website unless you submit a bid request to a comedian and they return a bid to you. At that point, we release your contact information to that comedian and that comedian only so they can communicate with you regarding your request.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
