COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
No software or hardware techniques are employed to capture a visitor's e-mail address without their knowledge. Certain applications on the ESYO website may require users to register or to provide personal information in order to make a commerce transaction, to enter a contest, or to subscribe to a newsletter. Such personal information may be shared with third party regional arts and cultural organizations to provide a service to you as well as to assist these organizations in growing attendance. To better enable us to service our patrons, the web site may be used as a survey tool to request demographic information. Entry of such information is optional and if you choose not to enter such information, you can successfully use these applications. If we request demographic information, we will not share your personal information as an individual with any other entity. If we do share demographic information with third parties, we will give them aggregate information only.
WIFI NETWORK
When you sign-up or use any of our products or services we may use aggregate information about where and when you browse on the Web, where your wireless device is located, and how you use our network, or other information as described in this Policy. We do this in order to provide you with better service and to enrich your user experience.
