Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) Internet Privacy Policy
Your privacy is very important to us. We want to make sure your experience using our web site is as enjoyable as possible, and we want you to use our web site's vast array of information, tools, and opportunities with complete confidence.
Our Privacy Policy demonstrates our firm commitment to privacy and security. The Privacy Policy describes how the Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) collects information from all end users of Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC)'s web site ("Services"), about those who access our Services ("Visitors"), about our sources of information, and about the choices Visitors have concerning the collection and use of such information. Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) requests that you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Personal Information Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) Collects and How It Is Used
Introduction
Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) collects information in different ways from Visitors who access the various parts of "Services." We use this information primarily to provide a customized experience as you use our Services, and generally, do not share this information with third parties. However, we may disclose personal information that has been collected if we have received your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when the law requires such disclosure or with other special cases described below.
Registration
Visitors are asked to provide certain personal information when they sign up for our Services including name, address, telephone number, and billing information (such as a credit card number). The personal information that is collected from Visitors during the registration process is used to manage each Visitor's account (such as for billing purposes). This information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise or in special circumstances. However, in instances where Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) and a partner jointly promote the Services, Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) may provide the partner certain personal information, such as the name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion. In this instance, the partner may not use personal information for any other purpose. Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal information that Visitors provide during registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of Visitors). As explained in more detail below, we may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear in "Services."
Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) Partners and Sponsors
Some Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) products and services are offered to Visitors in conjunction with a non-affiliated partner. To provide Visitors some of these products and services, the partner may need to collect and maintain personal information. In these instances, you will be notified before any data is collected or transferred. At this time, you may decide not to use that particular service or feature.
Online Ordering
Our web site may sell products and services or register to receive materials, such as a catalog or new product and service updates. In many cases, you may be asked to provide contact information, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, and credit/debit card information. From time to time, the Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) may offer products or services from third party vendors. Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) has no control over the third parties' use of any personal information that you provide when placing such an order. Please exercise care when providing personal information.
If you order products directly from Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC), such as through the "Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) Services Section," we will use the personal information that you provide only to process that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete the order.
Online Advertisements
Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) displays online advertisements. We share aggregated and non-identifying information about our Visitors that is collected through the registration process as well as through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers. Additionally, in some instances, we use this aggregated and non-identifying information to deliver tailored advertisements. For instance, an advertiser tells us the audience they want to reach (for example, males between 25 and 55 years of age) and provides us an advertisement tailored to the audience. Based upon the aggregated and non-identifying information we have collected, we may then display the advertisement to the intended audience. Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) does not share personal information about its Visitors with these advertisers.
Responses to Email Inquiries
When Visitors send email inquiries to Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC), the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry that we receive. Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) does not use the return email address for any other purpose and does not share the return email address with any third party.
Voluntary Customer Surveys
We may periodically conduct both business and individual customer surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve the types of services that we offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential, even if a third party conducts the survey. Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary. We take the information that we receive from individuals responding to our Customer Surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) customers to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new services and products. This aggregated, non-personally identifying information may be shared with third parties.
Special Cases
It is the Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC)'s policy not to use or share the personal information about Visitors in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to decline otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) may disclose personal information about Visitors or information regarding your use of "Services" for any reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so, including: to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) and our Visitors.
