Privacy Policy

We are Manix Entertainment, LLC, a single-member limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of New York.

This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data. We use your data to provide and improve the Service.

Service. The Manix Entertainment website at www.manixentertainment.com and any related online or offline services operated by Manix Entertainment, LLC — including booking, planning, contracting, and event-production services.

Personal Data.Data about a living individual who can be identified from those data (or from those and other information either in our possession or likely to come into our possession). Under New York's SHIELD Act, this includes “private information” as defined in NY General Business Law § 899-aa.

Usage Data. Data collected automatically either generated by the use of the Service or from the Service infrastructure itself (for example, the duration of a page visit).

Cookies. Small pieces of data stored on your device.

Data Controller. The natural or legal person who determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal information is processed. We are the Data Controller of your Personal Data.

Data Processor (or Service Provider). Any natural or legal person who processes the data on behalf of the Data Controller. We use the services of various Service Providers in order to process your data more effectively.

Data Subject (or User). Any living individual who is using our Service and is the subject of Personal Data.

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service. We collect the minimum information necessary to deliver the Service and otherwise meet our legal and contractual obligations.

Personal Data

While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. This may include, but is not limited to:

• •Email address
• •First name and last name (and, for weddings, partner's name)
• •Phone number
• •Address, state, ZIP / postal code, city
• •Event details (date, venue, guest count, vendor contacts, music preferences, special requests)
• •Cookies and Usage Data
• •Payment information (processed by our payment processors — we do not store full card numbers on our servers)

We may use your Personal Data to respond to inquiries, generate proposals, fulfill bookings and contracts, process payments, send transactional emails (booking confirmations, planning reminders, post-event follow-ups), and — where you have opted in — send newsletters, marketing, or promotional materials. You may opt out of marketing communications by following the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or by contacting us at bookings@manixentertainment.com. Transactional emails are not subject to opt-out so long as you have an active booking with us.

Usage Data

We may also collect information about how the Service is accessed and used. This Usage Data may include your IP address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data.

Tracking & cookies data

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

Examples of cookies we use:

• •Session cookies — to operate our Service.
• •Preference cookies — to remember your preferences and various settings.
• •Security cookies — for security purposes.
• •Analytics cookies — to understand how visitors use the Service.

Manix Entertainment uses the collected data for various purposes:

• •To provide and maintain our Service
• •To respond to inquiries and prepare proposals
• •To fulfill bookings, contracts, and event-production services
• •To process payments through our payment processors
• •To notify you about changes to our Service or to your bookings
• •To allow you to participate in interactive features (such as our planning portal)
• •To provide customer support
• •To gather analysis or valuable information so that we can improve our Service
• •To monitor the usage of our Service
• •To detect, prevent, and address technical issues and security incidents
• •To comply with our legal obligations under New York and federal law
• •To provide you with news, special offers, and general information about other goods, services, and events that we offer — only if you have opted in or have an existing relationship with us, and only where permitted by law

If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it. We may process your Personal Data because:

• •We need to perform a contract with you (for example, fulfilling a booking)
• •You have given us permission to do so
• •The processing is in our legitimate interests and is not overridden by your rights
• •To comply with applicable law

We will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, where we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable tax, accounting, or other legal requirements), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

Specifically:

• •Inquiry data from prospects who do not book is retained for up to 24 months, then deleted or anonymized.
• •Booking records, contracts, and related correspondence are retained for at least seven (7) years from the event date, consistent with New York's general statute of limitations on contract disputes and applicable federal tax-record retention requirements.
• •Payment records are retained as required by our payment processors and by tax law (generally seven years).
• •Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period, except when used to strengthen security or improve functionality of our Service, or where we are legally obligated to retain longer.

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to the United States and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless adequate controls are in place.

Business transfers

If Manix Entertainment is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or reorganization, your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

Disclosure for law enforcement

Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (for example, a court or a government agency, including a New York State court or the New York Attorney General's office).

Legal requirements

We may disclose your Personal Data in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:

• •Comply with a legal obligation
• •Protect and defend our rights or property
• •Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service
• •Protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public
• •Protect against legal liability

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Our reasonable safeguards include:

• •Administrative safeguards. Assigning one or more employees (in our case, the sole member) to coordinate the security program; identifying reasonably foreseeable internal and external risks; training employees and contractors in security practices; selecting service providers capable of maintaining appropriate safeguards.
• •Technical safeguards. Using vendors with industry-standard security (TLS encryption in transit, encrypted-at-rest storage where supported); maintaining current software; using strong authentication; reviewing access privileges regularly.
• •Physical safeguards. Securing physical devices (laptops, phones, removable media) with full-disk encryption, strong passwords, and prompt re-securing or wiping of any device that is lost or replaced.

In the event of a breach of security that compromises your Personal Data, we will notify you and the relevant authorities in accordance with applicable law, including:

• •New York Information Security Breach and Notification Act (NY General Business Law § 899-aa). We will notify affected New York residents, the New York Attorney General, the New York Department of State, and the New York Division of State Police in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, consistent with the needs of law enforcement and any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the system.
• •Notification requirements under the laws of your state of residence, if you reside outside New York.
• •Where applicable, notification requirements under the GDPR (Article 33) or other foreign data-protection law.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have certain data-protection rights. We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data. To request any of these rights, please contact us at bookings@manixentertainment.com.

To exercise rights or raise concerns directly with us, email bookings@manixentertainment.com.

Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not provide any Personal Data through the Service.

If we learn that we have collected Personal Data from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will delete that information as soon as possible. If you believe we may have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at bookings@manixentertainment.com.

For school-dance and similar bookings where minors are present at the event, the contracting party (the school, parent, or organization) is responsible for any consents required from minors or their guardians regarding photography, video recording, or social-media posting at the event. We will honor reasonable requests from the contracting party to limit or remove content depicting identifiable minors.
