LAST UPDATED: July 30, 2019
New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center (“MCCNO”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors.

    This policy governs the way we electronically collect and use information both online and offline, including when you visit our websites, use a MCCNO kiosk or use a MCCNO application (collectively referred to as the “MCCNO Website”). This Privacy Policy explains the types of personal data we collect, how we may use and share the data, and the privacy choices that you have with respect to our handling of personal data about you.

    This Privacy Policy governs all persons (“Users” or “you”) who use the MCCNO Website. Please read the entire Privacy Policy carefully. By using the MCCNO Website, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of MCCNO’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use* (collectively “MCCNO Policies”). If you do not agree with the MCCNO Policies, please cease all use of the MCCNO Website.

    Please note that the MCCNO Policies may change from time to time without prior notice to you, and your continued usage after any changes represents your agreement to the new terms. Please review the Privacy Policy periodically for changes. If we make material changes to this policy, we will strive to provide notice ahead of such changes, such as through emails or through a notice on the MCCNO Website.

    How we collect and use the information you provide

    We collect and use the information you provide to personalize the MCCNO Website so that we can better meet your needs, fulfill your online order, facilitate customer service, inform you of business opportunities and promotional offers, analyze trends; collect statistics; prevent misuse; comply with legal obligations; and for general business operations.

    Information about the content you visit and services you use may be used alone or in conjunction with information collected from other users to help MCCNO tailor the MCCNO Website to better suit the needs and interests of you and other Users.

    I. How We Collect Information

    The term “Personal Data” includes information that has been provided by Users through the MCCNO Website to MCCNO, when a User creates a MCCNO Website account, makes a purchase, communicates electronically with us, or otherwise. Personal Data does not include data from which you can no longer be identified due to encryption or anonymity.

    We may collect Personal Data from various sources, including:

    • Directly from you, at your direction or with your consent;
    • Through information and content you provide;
    • From companies that organize events or programs with MCCNO to which you have provided Personal Data;
    • From our vendors and other third parties who join with MCCNO in initiatives and projects (such as advertisers, sponsors, etc.) to which you have provided Personal Data; and
    • Automatically as you navigate through the site

    We maintain the data that you provide in databases that are secured using commercially-reasonable, industry standard protections. Our collection and use of visitor information varies with the type of visit or transaction.

    II. Online purchases

    When you order from the MCCNO website, you will need to provide your name, billing and shipping addresses, telephone number, email address, and credit card information to process your order. MCCNO does not access or receive your credit card information. Your credit card information is received directly by our third-party payment card processors and service providers to perform fraud detection and payment processing services. If your purchase is rejected by our website because it was detected as a possible fraudulent use of a payment card, and you are in fact the authorized user of the card, you can contact us at comm@mccno.com or call (504) 582-3000 for the issue to be evaluated and resolved. We will retain your name, billing and shipping address, telephone number, and email address provided for our records, in order to facilitate better customer service, and to inform you of our promotional offers. You may opt out of receiving these communications from MCCNO by following the instructions in those emails. You may also contact MCCNO at comm@mccno.com to request removal from MCCNO’s promotional communications lists.

    III. Online purchases of admission tickets, event tickets, and registrations

    MCCNO works with third-party contractors to process ticketing for certain events or registration for certain courses. MCCNO contractually requires its vendors to maintain the security of the information which you provide to them and restricts the vendors from using this information in any way not expressly authorized by MCCNO.

    The Privacy Policy only applies to the MCCNO Website and not the services provided by third-party contractors or processors. To the extent that the MCCNO Website makes use of other applications or services, regardless of ownership by MCCNO, the Privacy Policy only applies to the MCCNO Website. The MCCNO Policies do not apply to third party services. We suggest contacting the third parties and any other utilized service or application directly for information on their privacy policies

     

    Automatic Data Collection

    As you navigate through and interact with the MCCNO Website, automatic data collection technology may be used to collect certain non-personal information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns.

      Pages of our Website and our email may also contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

    Data Security

    MCCNO takes reasonable steps to protect the Personal Data provided to us through the MCCNO Website from loss, misuses, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, including through restriction of access to Personal Data to our employees, contractors, agents, and consultants who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, or improve the MCCNO Website. MCCNO maintains reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the Personal Data we maintain. Despite these efforts, however, no organization, including MCCNO, can fully eliminate risks, guarantee the security of Personal Data, or ensure transmissions will be error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from MCCNO may not be secure. Therefore, you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personal Data to us via the Internet.

    The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the MCCNO Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the MCCNO Website. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any User of the MCCNO Website.

    Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to the MCCNO Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the MCCNO Website.

    XXI. Location in the United States

    MCCNO operates its website and services from the United States of America and stores the information we collect in the United States of America. As such, the recipients of your Personal Data may be located outside of the jurisdiction where you personally reside. The laws of the United States may not provide the same level of protection as your home country. By providing us with information about yourself, you acknowledge the disclosure of such personal information to these recipients. Any processing of your personal information outside of your jurisdiction shall be in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

    XXII. Notification to California Residents

    California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are residents of the State of California in the United States to annually request and obtain, at no charge, information about the personal information (if any) we have disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. This information would include a list of the categories of personal information that was shared and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request to comm@mccno.com.

    XXIII. Email disclosure

    If you have provided us with your email address, we may send you emails in order to alert you to information, events, activities, or programs at or related to MCCNO that we believe may be of interest to you, or to alert you about sales or other promotional events at the MCCNO online store.
