I want to make sure that my information is safe. Is this web site secure?
Yes. This web site is secured with a GoDaddy.com Web Server Certificate. Transactions on the site are protected with up to 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer encryption. Additionally, all credit card transactions are managed through Stripe, a 3rd party payment processing company. Thousands of small and large companies use Stripe's secure API service because they are Certified PCI level 1 (the most stringent level of certification) and use a two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security for your credit card transactions.
The website says that it sent me an email, but I did not get it. What should I do?
Be sure to check your SPAM/junk email folder in your email system. Sometimes email received from a new domain (or one you haven't received email from before) is classified as SPAM and sent to your SPAM or junk email folder. Be sure to add YourTheater411.com as a 'safe' sender to avoid this in the future.
