burnzozobra.com is operated by the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe, the nonprofit service club that produces Will Shuster’s Zozobra, Zozobra the Balloon, Día de los Muertos on the Santa Fe Plaza, New Year’s Eve on the Santa Fe Plaza and the Santa Fe Fourth of July Fireworks. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, our sign-up forms and our text messages, how we use it, and the choices you have. “We,” “us” and “our” mean the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe.
Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you fill out a form on this site, for example to volunteer, stay in the loop, enter the art contest, try out for the National Anthem, apply as a vendor or sponsor, or contact us, we collect what you enter. That can include your name, email address, mobile phone number, mailing address, the events you’re interested in and anything you tell us in a message or application. Volunteers who complete the full volunteer application also share information we need to place them safely, such as physical accommodations and food preferences, and volunteers 18 and older provide the information needed for a background check.
Tickets, merchandise and donations. Purchases and online donations are processed by third-party ticketing and payment providers. We receive your order details, but we do not receive or store your full card number.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, this site uses cookies and similar tools, including tools from Google, to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are visited and how people find us. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
How We Use Your Information

- To review and respond to applications, entries, questions and requests
- To send you the emails and text messages you have asked to receive
