Cookies and Web Beacons

What personal data we collect and why we collect it
While you are shopping on our site we track products you’ve viewed, location, IP address, browser type to show you products you’ve recently viewed and estimate costs such as taxes and shipping. When you place an order we collect your name, billing address, shipping address, phone number, credit card/payment details (which are processed through a third party), and optional information such as special notes for orders. This is necessary for us to process your payment and fulfil your order. We will also store comments or reviews, where applicable, if you choose to leave them.
Walnut Valley Festival uses ETIX to fulfil ticket orders. Information from Ticket Orders is used to generate mailing lists for several mass e-mails and/or physical mailings throughout the year. For Contest Registrations, Camping Preregistration, and Merchandise Orders, we use a third party to process credit cards, and credit card information is stripped off before we receive the orders.
Visitors who choose to provide their name and e-mail address (“Send me newsletters and important updates”) are added to a list of people who may receive by e-mail notices of special deals, electronic versions of the Walnut Valley Occasional, or important updates about the Walnut Valley Festival. These communications include the option to opt out, or be removed from our e-mail mailing list, usually at the bottom of the message.
Information submitted through the “Contact Us” form is used to address a visitor’s question or concern and includes the visitor’s name, email, and any information the visitor chooses to include in the message. Information collected from this form is not used for marketing purposes.
