Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 2026

Welcome to ImprovCon. We celebrate creativity and collaboration, but when it comes to your personal information, we try to follow a slightly more structured script.

This Privacy Policy explains how ImprovCon collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit our website, register for our event, submit programming proposals, or otherwise interact with ImprovCon.

The short version: we collect only a limited amount of information to run the event, communicate with you, and improve the ImprovCon experience. We do not sell your personal information.

Information We Collect

When you interact with ImprovCon, we may collect the following types of information.

Information You Provide Directly

This may include:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Billing and payment information
  • City, state, or country
  • Professional or creative affiliations
  • Biographies or profile information
  • Media links (videos, websites, social profiles)
  • Workshop, performance, or panel submission materials
  • Volunteer information
  • Communication preferences

If you purchase a ticket, submit programming, volunteer, or participate in a workshop, we may also collect logistical information needed to operate the event.

Payment Information

Payments may be processed through third-party providers such as Stripe or event registration platforms.

ImprovCon does not store credit card numbers or full payment details. Payment providers maintain their own security and privacy policies.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit the ImprovCon website, basic technical information may be collected automatically through standard technologies such as cookies or analytics tools. This may include:

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Device information
  • Pages visited
  • Referral sources

This information helps us understand how the site is used and improve the experience.

No, we are not secretly profiling your improv style.

How We Use Your Information

We may use your information to:

  • Register you for ImprovCon
  • Process ticket purchases and submission fees
  • Review workshop, performance, and panel submissions
  • Coordinate volunteers and event staff
  • Communicate schedule updates and event logistics
  • Send announcements about ImprovCon programming
  • Improve the event and website experience
  • Maintain internal records for operational and legal purposes

We try to keep communications relevant and respectful of your inbox.

Sharing Information

ImprovCon does not sell or rent personal information.

However, we may share limited information with trusted parties when necessary to operate the event.

These may include:

  • Event registration platforms
  • Payment processors
  • Email communication services
  • Website hosting or analytics providers
  • ImprovCon staff and authorized organizers

Workshop Facilitators

If you register for a workshop, ImprovCon may share limited participant information with the workshop facilitator, such as:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Relevant registration details

This allows facilitators to prepare materials, manage attendance, and communicate with participants regarding the workshop.

Facilitators are expected to use this information only for legitimate workshop-related purposes.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of ImprovCon, its participants, or the public.

Photos, Video, and Event Recordings

ImprovCon is a live event and may include photography, video recording, and streaming.

By attending the event, you acknowledge that your image or likeness may appear in:

  • Event photos
  • Livestreams or recordings
  • Social media posts
  • Promotional materials for future ImprovCon events

We promise to use good judgment and avoid screenshots that make it look like you’re reacting to a particularly confusing suggestion.

Email Communications

If you provide your email address, we may send:

  • Event announcements
  • Schedule updates
  • Submission opportunities
  • Future ImprovCon news

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link included in those messages.

Data Security

ImprovCon takes reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

However, no internet-based system is completely secure, so we encourage users to take appropriate precautions when sharing personal information online.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for event operations, legal compliance, accounting purposes, or future event planning.

Submission materials or program information may be retained longer for historical or archival purposes.

California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and related laws.

These may include the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we have collected about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of certain personal information

ImprovCon does not sell personal information.

If we become aware that such information has been collected unintentionally, we will take steps to delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as ImprovCon grows and evolves.

When changes are made, the updated date at the top of this policy will reflect the revision.
