We are always conscious and respectful of your personal privacy.

This Privacy Policy governs the use of the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach, LLC (“GPALB”) d/b/a Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach (“AGPLB”) website (the “Site”). The Privacy Policy’s purpose is to make you aware of our privacy policy and practices and the way information is collected and used with respect to the Site. To make this notice easy to find, a link to this Privacy Policy is on the homepage of the Site. This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect at the Sites, but does not apply to information collected through other means, including information provided by you in any non-Site ticket purchase (such as an in-person purchase from the ticket office) at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.

This Privacy Policy will answer your questions about the kind of information we collect and how we use it. If we change or update our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes here. By using this Site, you acknowledge you have read this Privacy Policy and agree to the terms hereof.

What information do you gather and how do you use it?
GPALB automatically collects certain non-personally identifiable information about your visits to the Site, such as IP address, service provider, browser type, operating system, pages accessed on the Site and the date and time of access to optimize your user experience and enhance your time spent with us online. Each owner also receives information telling us what site from which you originated.

When you send GPALB an e-mail, GPALB will retain the content of the e-mail, your e-mail address, and our response in order to handle any follow-up questions you may have. GPALB also uses this information to measure how effectively GPALB addresses your concerns.

When purchasing tickets or merchandise, registering for promotions at the Site, or in connection with gifts, ecards, e-vites, forward-to-a-friend messages or any other messaging service, GPALB may ask for your or your friend’s:

  • Name
  • E-mail address
  • Credit card number and expiration date
  • Billing address
  • Shipping address
  • Date of Birth
  • Phone number

The foregoing shall be referred to as “personal information.” We use the personally identifiable information you choose to provide to GPALB to process the transactions and services you request, to provide GPALB and GPALB affiliates promotional communications to you, to enable you to participate in sweepstakes and promotions, and to otherwise facilitate your use of the Site.

GPALB may ask you to voluntarily provide us with information regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics, experiences with us, and contact preferences. This information may be combined with information about you, which GPALB gathered from other offline sources. GPALB and its affiliates use the information to design offers customized to your interests. For example, you may receive a special offer for your most frequently visited events.

Information from other sources

GPALB may receive information about you from other sources. This may help improve the personalization of our service to you by providing better product recommendations or special offers that we think will interest you.

Who do you share my personal information with?

We do NOT share your personal information with any outside entity including sponsor partners; it is strictly used so that GPALB may communicate directly with you.

Protection of the Site and others

GPALB may disclose information you provide at the Site when we believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property or safety of the Site, our users or other individuals.

How does this Site use cookies and similar tracking technologies?

This Site uses cookies, tags, pixels and similar tracking technologies to allow GPALB to recognize your preference information, keep track of your purchases, remember your Member Login and facilitate effective site administration. GPALB uses the information we collect to enhance your visit to this site and provide you with information tailored to your needs.

You may elect to refuse cookies, but certain Site functions or access may not be available if you choose to do so. Please refer to your browser Help instructions to learn more about cookies. This Site does not change its behavior based on the presence of a “Do Not Track” header/request sent from a user device. In addition, third party tracking pixels may or may not adjust their behavior based on the presence of a “Do Not Track” header/request, this is under the control of the respective third party. Any such tracking does not share any personally identifiable information, but only marks/tags a user to receive related information while visiting other websites in the same tracking network.

A Web beacon is an electronic image, also called a single-pixel or clear GIF, placed in the code of a webpage or in e-mails. The Site uses Web beacons to track traffic patterns of users as they navigate from one page to another. This information lets us tune and improve our users’ browsing experience. As with cookies, the information that Web beacons collect is aggregated, anonymous “click stream” data, and is not associated with you as an individual.

We also use Web beacons through a third-party website analytics provider, as well as standard Web server log files, to help us count visitors and evaluate the Site’s technical capacity. This information tells us how many people visit the Site and helps us decide how to arrange pages in the most user-friendly way. This also helps us keep the Site browser-friendly and more useful to our users. We record information on Site traffic, but not on individual visitors to the Site, so no personal information about you will be kept or used.

How does this Site comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act?

The Website is not intended for use by children under 13 years of age. GPALB does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 years of age, except for the limited circumstances described below. In the event a child under the age of 13 submits a question to us on the Site and identifies his or her age, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to limit our use of the child’s email address for the sole purpose of responding to the child’s question on a one-time-only basis. However, we will not use the child’s email address to re-contact the child and we will delete it from our records once we have responded. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database.

What choices do I have regarding promotional communications?

GPALB only sends promotional e-mail messages to you if you have voluntarily provided GPALB with your e-mail address. You may request to be removed from this Site’s e-mail subscription list by updating your personal account. You may also unsubscribe from any e-mail subscription by following the unsubscribe procedures set forth in each e-mail, including those received from GPALB affiliates.

How do I update personal information such as my address?

GPALB asks that you keep your information as up-to-date as possible so you may get the maximum benefit from this Site. Please e-mail tickets@gpalb.com to update your personal information.

What about security at the Site?

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with applicable federal privacy and data security laws and regulations to guard your personal information. Unfortunately, no transmissions or data available through the Internet can be 100% secure and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any personal information or other information you provide to us. GPALB works to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. GPALB reveals only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, GPALB transmits the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

What about links to and from other websites

This Site may offer links to other websites, or you may have arrived at this Site from websites, that are operated by entities other than GPALB. These third-party websites have their own policies regarding privacy. If you visit one of these websites, or if you arrived from one of these websites, you should review the privacy policy of the website to understand how your personal information is collected, used, secured and disclosed. GPALB is not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party websites and cannot guarantee the security of any of your personal information collected, used or shared there.

Business transfers

If some or all of the business assets of GPALB or the Site are sold or transferred, your personal information, aggregated information, and any other information that we have collected in connection with the Site may be transferred as part of our business assets. In such case, we also may retain a copy of this information.

CommunityFeature

Therefore, we recommend that you do not submit any sensitive Personal Information to these public forums. GPALB is not responsible for the Personal Information or other information you choose to submit to these forums.
