Lumin Arts Inc., DBA Stagehand® (“Stagehand”), and Why Not Theatre ("Why Not"), value your business. We want you to be aware of our commitment to protecting the information you share during the course of doing business with us. Stagehand and Why Not have established a privacy program that aligns with privacy laws and industry good practices.

Your Rights as They Pertain to Your Personal and Business Information

With respect to your personal and business information, you have the right to:

  • know why an organization collects, uses or discloses your information;
  • expect an organization to handle your information reasonably and to not use it for any other purpose other than the one to which you consented;
  • expect an organization to protect your information from unauthorized disclosure;
  • inspect the information an organization holds about you and make sure it is accurate, complete and current;
  • expect an organization to destroy your information when requested and when no longer required for the intended purpose;
  • confidentially complain to an organization about how it handles your information; and
  • file a complaint about an organization’s personal information privacy practices with the applicable privacy authority of your province, state, or country (or EU Member State).
When we collect information about you:

We collect information about you when you provide it to us, when you visit our website, and when you use our Spaces software platform.

What information we collect about you:

If you are an artist, we collect the following information about you, some of which is considered “personal information” (information about an identifiable individual):

  • Contact information that you input into open text fields, such as your name, e-mail address, and phone number,
  • Information about your applications for space, accepted applications for space (bookings).
  • Information about your skills and experience communicated through a Spaces profile (including your art discipline, description, photographs, and links to social media),
  • Contact information provided when seeking technical support,
  • Information about you when you visit and interact with our website and software application, which may include the links you click on, the file attachments you download, and frequently used search terms, and
  • Device information including your connection type and settings, information about your operating system, browser type, IP address, and URLs of referring/exit pages.

If you are a Space Broker, we collect information about you and the Spaces you manage to help artists establish if they wish to apply for the use of your space. This includes information such as the size, type, amenities, location and the like.

Many Space Brokers wish to facilitate artist diversity. To assist both Space Brokers and artists in this regard, Spaces offers the opportunity for artists to enter information about their positionality. This information is optional and will only be accessible to Space Brokers that have signed up for a Space Broker profile and agreed to the Spaces Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. Spaces will not collect, assume, infer or share any information that is not provided by the artist without their explicit consent. Personal information pertaining to an individual’s positionality will not be provided to other artists or members of the general public. Artists may add, modify or remove this information at any time.
Analytical Tools and Cookies

These analytical tools collect aggregate data to help us understand how visitors use our website so we can maximize its effectiveness, but do not create individual profiles for visitors. These tools also use cookies, which are small data files transferred onto computers for record-keeping purposes and to enhance functionality on a website.

How We Use Your Information

When you do business with us, we may collect three types of information: personal, non-personal (business), and anonymous. You share this information so that we may provide you with the information and service that best meets your needs. We use and disclose this information in order to:

  • Facilitate the application procedure for artists to apply for, book and plan for the use of space;
  • Update funding organizations to help them better understand the social and economic impact of their funding programs and the resulting opportunities that are created because of such funding,
  • Allow Space Brokers to provide space to a diverse group of artists,
  • Communicate with you in a timely and efficient manner (e.g., responds to help requests),
  • Provide requested information pertaining to our Spaces software platform (e.g., demo requests, marketing communications, sales communication),
  • Improve and enhance the functionality of the Spaces software platform, and
  • Act as required or authorized by law.

At the effective date of this Privacy Policy, Stagehand & Why Not do not share your personal, non-personal (business) and anonymous information with third parties for integration purposes, or for any other reason.
