Protecting Your Privacy

Your privacy is important to us and we do value the security of our online information. Following are guidelines we use for protecting the information you provide us during a visit to our Internet site, http://www.ntif.org.

We'd also like to remind visitors to NTIF.org that we provide additional links to resources we find useful. These links will lead you to a site that may operate under different privacy practices. We want to caution our visitors that they must take the responsibility of reviewing the privacy policy for such other web sites as we have no control over information that is submitted to these third parties.

In addition, certain areas of NTIF.org are not accessible unless you supply individually identifiable information. These areas are restricted to festival staff and directors.

The information we collect and how we use it

When volunteering for NTIF, we will ask for your:

• Name
• Address
• Phone number(s)
• eMail address

This information is necessary to process your request to become a volunteer for the festival or other SCMA events. The information we collect will be used solely for the purpose of processing your request and for making you aware of other SCMA events which we believe may be interested to you. No information collected will be sold or otherwise distributed without your expressed permission.

Credit Card Processing

In order to provide our members and guests a secure method of purchasing merchandise online we have entered into a contract with Diversified Acquiring Solutions of New York, to service all online credit card transactions. All credit verification is the responsibility of DAS, and they will verify credit or debit cards with third party bureaus as needed. The SCMA obtains no credit information, including credit card number, PIN or bank account information from DAS or any third party. We do retain your name, address and email for ticket processing.
