We have posted this privacy policy to

Secure ordering
Your online credit card transactions
are secure with stage3.org. We use the Secure Socket Layer protocol
(SSL), the industry-standard encryption technology that ensures safe
Internet transmission of your personal information. When the letters
"http" in the URL change to "https," the "s"
indicates you are in a secure area employing SSL. Your browser may
also give you a pop-up message or other indications when you are in a
secure area of our web site.
All credit card information is strongly encrypted prior to storage in our
database. Only authorized Stage 3 personnel have the ability to decrypt
this information and will only do so for the purpose of processing
your credit card transactions.
Making a credit card purchase is just
as safe on our web site as it is by telephone, but if you prefer the
latter, you may purchase tickets by calling our box office at (209) 536-1778.

Cookies and how we use them
A "cookie" is a small data

identifiying data in the cookie with other customer information
you have provided us. That customer information is stored in our
secured database.
We may use cookies to identify the

web site you visited immediately before clicking to stage3.org. We
use this information to improve our site design, customer service, and
service offerings.
We may contract with third parties who
may use cookies and collect information on our behalf or provide
services such as credit card processing, shipping, promotional
services or data management. These third parties are prohibited by
our contract with them from sharing that information with anyone
other than us or our other partners.
