1. Introduction

The Cincinnati Arts Association (“CAA”, “we”, “our” and “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. We have adopted this policy to explain our privacy practices with respect to information that CAA may collect about you when you access and use our website and use our online services (the “Services”).

Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding information we collect from you or about you and how we will treat it. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. This policy may change from time to time (See Changes to Policy below). Your continued use of the Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

2. Information We Collect about You and How We Collect It

We typically collect two kinds of information about you: (a) information that you provide that personally identifies you; and (b) information that we collect through automatic data collection technologies. 

a. Information that You Provide to Us

When you access and use our Services, register on our website to purchase tickets or memberships, or subscribe to our E-NEWS (CAA’s version of an e-Club), we may ask for information by which you may be personally identified. This includes, but is not limited to, your name, email address, telephone number, postal address, credit card or other payment information, or any other information defined as personally-identifiable information under applicable law (“Personal Information”), or that is about you but individually does not identify you. 

This information may include:

• Information that you provide to us directly when using the Services. For example, when you register for or use the Services as a guest, you may provide us with your phone number, name, email address, and payment information. We may also collect information when you respond to surveys or report a problem with the Services.
• Feedback or ratings related to your use of the Services and requests for support.
• Records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses), if you contact us.
• Details of transactions you carry out through the Services and of the fulfillment of your requests made using the Services.

You also may provide information rating or feedback on certain aspects of the Services or the products and services of our business partners (collectively, “User Content”). Such User Content may be used and disclosed as we, in our sole discretion, deem appropriate.  The requirements for using User Content, including copyright issues, is detailed in the Terms of Use policy.  The Terms of Use policy can be accessed at the following link: https://www.cincinnatiarts.org/terms-of-use

6. Choices About How We Collect, Use, and Disclose Your Information

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:

• Email Addresses.  We do not share your email addresses with third parties to market products or services to you.
• Tracking Technologies. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies or block the use of other tracking technologies, some parts of the Services may then be inaccessible or not function properly.
• Behavioral Remarketing. CAA may use remarketing services provided by Google, Facebook and others to advertise our site to you after you have visited our website. We and our third-party vendors use cookies to inform, optimize and serve ads based on your past visits to our website.
• Location Information. You can choose whether or not to allow an application running on your device or computer to collect and use real-time information about your device's location through the device or computer’s privacy settings. If you block the use of location information, some parts of the Services may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

We do not control third parties' collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. You can opt out of receiving targeted ads from members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") at NAI Opt Out.

We cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

8. Data Security

We have implemented reasonable measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
