Mercury Improv Privacy Policy

The privacy policy is pretty simple: We will never, ever sell any information you provide to us. Period. If you sign up for the mailing list, that’s the only list you’re on, and to stop getting emails you just need to unsubscribe (unlike some major political parties we could mention).

But for the sake of SEO, here’s an official Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit https://www.mercuryimprov.com/ (“Site”).

Information you provide

  • Contact data: We collect your name and email address when you sign up for a class. We use the email to send out class-related emails but I don’t add you to the permanent mailing list unless you authorize it.

  • Payment info: We don’t collect any of your payment info, which is why you have to reenter it each time.

Automatically collected information

We’ve disabled as many of the nonessential cookies as we can on Squarespace, which still collects some in order to make the site run. You should be presented with an opt-out button when you first access the site.

How we use your information

We use your email to communicate with you when you’re in a class and to send you updates if you’ve signed up for the email list. That’s it.

Legal basis for processing (where applicable)

If you are in a region requiring legal bases (e.g., GDPR), we rely on:

  • Consent (for marketing emails)

  • Contract performance (for fulfilling purchases)

  • Legitimate interests (improving the Site)

(This is legal boilerplate that we don’’t understand but are too chicken to remove.)

Cookies and tracking technologies

We’ve disabled as many of the nonessential cookies as we can on Squarespace, which still collects some in order to make the site run. You should be presented with an opt-out button when you first access the site.

Third-party services

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal information

  • Correct inaccurate data

  • Request deletion

  • Object to or restrict processing
