Boring Stuff That Lawyers Make Us Do.  For Our Own Good.

Curtis is pretty much in the "secret" business, so he's pretty good about this whole privacy thing...

Privacy Policy

That's right; a guy who travels around the globe doing comedy mind reading shows has to post a bunch of legalese that no one except lawyers actually cares about. Why? Because lawyers...well... So here's our little ditty--not about Jack & Diane--but about how we comply with the internet police and do and don't use and abuse you and the information we have on you. It's called the new GDPR law, a.k.a. "Gol-Darn-Protect your Rear" act, or something like that. If you really want to know what that is, look it up. It's "all over the internet" as they say; whoever "they" are and where ever "all over" is.

Who We Are

Well, his stage name is "Curtis The Mentalist," but his official business is known as Curtis Magic Entertainment ("Curtis Magic Entertainment"), mostly because he does other things in entertainment too and has other people help him do these things. So it would be weird to just call his business "Curtis The Mentalist" when there's other things and people. But we digress...
This dude's business Curtis Magic Entertainment operates https://CurtisTheMentalist.com, https://MastermindShowComedy.com, and may operate other websites. It is Curtis Magic Entertainment's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites. We will respect it, feed it, give it a place to sleep if necessary. But don't push it.

What Information We Collect, Why We Collect It, and Who We Share It With (which is pretty much NO ONE)

From time to time, Curtis Magic Entertainment may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Curtis Magic Entertainment also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on CurtisTheMentalist.com or MastermindShowComedy.com blogs/sites. Curtis Magic Entertainment only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
