Privacy Policy

Like you, all of us at BlackDollShows.Com provide varying levels of personal information on and off the internet. And like you, we pay close attention to how that information is handled.

  1. The personal information you may share with us (and with the business partners that help this site function or mailings) is kept absolutely private. We do not disclose personally identifiable credentials to third parties.
  2. In order to forward show information and/or merchandise to you, we make your name and address available to such companies as United Parcel Service, Federal Express and the U.S. Postal Service.
  3. In order to provide a convienent web-based experience we may make use of cookies. Acceptance of cookies is entirely optional and will not affect access to or the functionality of Site features.
  4. We will never send you an e-mail requesting financial credentials. If you receive such an e-mail do not respond to it because it is fradulent (commonly called a phishing scheme). Immediately contact us so that we can obtain more information from you and inform the appropriate local, national and/or international law enforcement agencies.

Security Policy

Here is a summary of the practices we follow to keep your personal information safe.

  1. All web-based identity credentials sent between you and us uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL encrypts, or translates, information into highly indecipherable code. We process this information immediately when you register to join the BlackDollShows.Com and access your account. Your browser window may pop up to notify you that you are entering this SSL "safe" area. Once you have entered, the page address (URL) will change from http to https, to let you know you are in a secure area. Also, a key or a closed lock will appear in a corner of your screen to notify you of this change. Never provide personal or payment credentials during "unsafe" web sessions.
  2. We encrypt all personally identifiable information stored in our systems using numerous advanced encryption algorithms. In the unlikely event that our systems did become compromised, it would take many years of computer processing time to translate highly indecipherable "junk" code into something that is human readable.
  3. Physical access to the data center hosting our systems is strictly monitored. This includes badge identification and biometric authentication.
