PRIVACY

Protecting your private information is our priority. We understand that users of the Carolina Ballet website need to be in control of their personal information. Carolina Ballet adopted this Privacy Policy to inform users of how Carolina Ballet collects, stores and uses personal information that is submitted. By using this website or our products and services, you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as set out in this Privacy Policy.

Why Do We Collect It?
This information is used by us (or third parties engaged by us) to personalize your experience and allows us to deliver content and products that you are most interested in. This information is used to best fulfill your customer service needs, quickly process transactions, send order confirmations, follow up on your requests, conduct research, communicate information pertaining to Carolina Ballet events (for example, time changes, traffic advisories), and other communications from Carolina Ballet.

Links and Embedded Content

Once you leave our servers, Carolina Ballet does not control the privacy policies of destination sites. Carolina Ballet encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from Carolina Ballet so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. Carolina Ballet is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the Carolina Ballet website.

Use of Your Personal Information

Carolina Ballet will never share, sell, rent or trade your personal information to any third parties for marketing purposes without your consent.

Depending on your settings or the privacy policies for social media and messaging services like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, Vimeo, or Twitter, you may give us permission to access information from those accounts or services.

Use of Cookies
The Carolina Ballet website may use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify you. You can easily control and disable cookies through your browser settings.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Carolina Ballet pages, or register with Carolina Ballet site or services, a cookie helps Carolina Ballet to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Carolina Ballet website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Carolina Ballet features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Carolina Ballet services or websites you visit.

Security of Your Personal Information
When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

Children Under Thirteen
Carolina Ballet does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen. If you are under the age of thirteen, you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to use this website.

Changes To This Privacy Policy
Carolina Ballet, from time to time, may update this policy without prior notice. Changes to this policy will be reflected on Carolina Ballet’s website.
