The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this Web site: Tony Awards (www.tonyawards.com) (the "site"). All references to "we" or "us" in this Privacy Policy and Legal Notice refer to TAP.

Information Collected and How We Use It
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. Your IP address is also used to gather broad demographic information, such as country of origin.
Our site also may use unique identifiers to confirm data, such as your geographical location and we use such data in the aggregate to run internal analyses to improve upon your user experience.
Through surveys and newsletter registration, our site may request users to give us contact, demographic, and/or general financial information (such as their name, locale, gender, age, phone number and email address). The demographic information is used to enhance user experience so we can be more content specific. The contact information is used to notify users of new content, for surveys and newsletters, via email and/or text message. Users may opt-out of receiving future email mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Opt out instructions for mobile are provided within the first text message.
In addition, we may employ outside agents, meaning other companies or individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as sending postal mail and e-mail, conducting sweepstakes and other promotional activities, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments and providing customer service. These agents have access to personal information needed to perform their functions. Other than such outside agents, suppliers and vendors, we keep all of your personal information private and will not share it with any third party, unless you have authorized us to or we are legally required to do so. We may also release personal information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of TAP, our partners, our users, or others.
Contests
We may run contests on this site in which we ask visitors for contact information (such as their name and email address) and demographic information (such as their zip code, age, and/or income level). The user's contact information is used to contact the visitor when necessary, such as if they win a contest or to notify users of upcoming contests. There are three primary types of contests: (1.) We host solely and all information that is collected is used only by us (subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy and Legal Notice). (2.) We may share address information with third parties for shipping purposes. (3.) In some rare instances, a third party may host the contest and all information is then shared with us and that third party. In our contest registration, we give our users the opportunity to sign up for the website newsletter. However, users may opt-out of receiving future mailings by selecting the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the newsletter.
Cookies
Other information may be sent to your computer in the form of an Internet "cookie" to allow the Site's server to better serve files to you by tailoring information. The cookie is stored on your hard drive. The Site's server may request that your computer return a cookie to it. These return cookies do not contain any information supplied by you or any personally identifiable information about you.
