Sharing Personal Information

Shindig is not in the business of selling your information. Shindig considers this information to be a vital part of Shindig's relationship with you. There are, however, certain circumstances in which Shindig may share your Personal Data with certain third parties without further notice to you, as necessary to fulfill the business purposes for which the Personal Data was collected, or as otherwise set forth below:

Service Providers: We may share certain Personal Data and other information that we receive with vendors and service providers as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which you provided such information in connection with the Shindig Services. For example, we may provide:

Contact information such as your email address to email service providers to send out newsletters and other content or materials related to the Shindig Services; and/or
Payment method information to payment processors we use for any transactions you authorize in relation to the Shindig Services.

Related Companies: Shindig may also share your Personal Data with Shindig's Related Companies for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Agents, Consultants and Related Third Parties: Shindig, like many businesses, sometimes hires other companies to perform certain business-related functions. When Shindig employs another company to perform a necessary business-related function on our behalf, Shindig only provides them with the information that they need to perform their specific function.

Legal Requirements: Shindig may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend the rights or property of Shindig, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Shindig Services or the public, or (iv) protect against legal liability.

The Shindig Services may allow you to share information, including Personal Data, with third-party services and social networking websites, such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn. Depending on the privacy settings you have established with the applicable social media platform, and whether you use such platform in connection with the Shindig Services, you may encounter targeted advertisements based on your browsing behavior before and after you use the Shindig Services. We do not share your Personal Data with these social media providers unless you direct the Shindig Services to do so. Their use of the information will be governed by their privacy policies, and you may be able to modify your privacy settings with these entities. Please consult these third parties’ privacy policies before using their platforms to make sure you are comfortable with the level of sharing.

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.

Calling us: 646 896 1747.
Emailing us at privacy@shindigevents.com.
Visiting https://shindig.com/data-subject-request-form/.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include:
- Your name
- Address
- Additional information depending upon the type of request and the sensitivity of the information.
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we will consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account, provided the functionality is available.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

For instructions on exercising sale opt-out rights, see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we may deliver our written response to that account, provided that such functionality is available. If you do not have an account with us, or the functionality is not available for your account we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

While we do not sell the personal information, If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the "right to opt-out"). We will not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the "right to opt-in") from either the consumer who is at least 13 but not yet 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting our web-site

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.
