Text Alerts

This Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices of (“Bethel Woods Center for the Arts ,” “we”, “us” or “our”) and how we handle personal information that we collect through our websites that link to this Privacy Policy and our direct marketing activities (collectively, the “Service”). This Privacy Policy also describes your choices with respect to your personal information

Personal information we collect

Information you provide to us. Personal information you may provide to us through the Service or otherwise includes:

  • Contact details that you provide, such as your email address or phone number
  • Account data that you provide to create an account on the Service, including your name, email address and password.
  • Profile data that you choose to add to your profile on the Service.
  • Transaction data, such as your participation in our offers, rewards or promotional programs.
  • Communications that we exchange with you, including when you contact us with questions or feedback, through social media, or otherwise.
  • Marketing data, such as your preferences for receiving our marketing communications and details about your engagement with them.
  • Other data not specifically listed here, which we will use as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.

Third party sources. We may combine personal information we receive from you with personal information we obtain from other sources, such as social media accounts that you use to log into or connect to the Service, which will allow us to collect the information you choose to make available in your settings on that social media account.

Automatic data collection. We, our service providers, and our business partners may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction over time with the Service, our communications and other online services, such as:

  • Device data, such as your computer’s or mobile device’s operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, RAM and disk size, CPU usage, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), IP address, unique identifiers, time zone, language settings, and general location information such as city, state or geographic area.
  • Online activity data, such as clicks, scrolling information, pages you viewed, how long you spent on a page, the website you visited before browsing to the Service, navigation paths between pages, information about your activity on a page, access times, and duration of access, whether you have opened our marketing emails or clicked links within emails or text messages, and diagnostic data (such as crash logs, launch time, hang rate and energy use).

Cookies and similar technologies. Some of the data we collect automatically is collected through cookies, which are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies serve different purposes, like helping us understand how a site is being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your browsing experience. Our sites may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them).

The Service uses two broad categories of cookies: (1) first party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our websites; and (2) third party cookies, which are served by service providers or business partners on our websites, and can be used by these parties to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites. Third party cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including site analytics, advertising and social media features.

Our websites may employ the following types of cookies and other tracking technologies:

  • Analytics cookies. These cookies help us understand how our services are performing and being used. These cookies may work with web beacons included in emails we send to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Service. You can read more about how Google uses your personal information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
  • Advertising cookies. These cookies are used by advertising companies to collect information about how you use the Service and other websites over time. These companies use this information to show you ads they believe will be relevant to you within our services and elsewhere, and to measure how the ads perform.
  • Essential cookies. These cookies are necessary to allow the technical operation of our services (e.g., they enable you to move around on a website and to use its features).

Web Beacons. We may also use web beacons (which are also known as pixel tags and clear GIFs) on our sites and in our HTML formatted emails to track the actions of users on our sites and interactions with our emails. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages or within HTML formatted emails. Pixel tags are used to demonstrate that a webpage was accessed or that certain content was viewed, typically to measure the success of our marketing campaigns or engagement with our emails and to compile statistics about usage of our websites, so that we can manage our content more effectively.

For information regarding your choices regarding the use of cookies and similar technologies on the Service, see the “Your Choices” section below.

How we use your personal information

We use your personal information for the following purposes or as otherwise described at the time of collection:

Service delivery. We use your personal information to:

  • provide, operate and improve the Service and our business;
  • communicate with you about the Service, including by sending announcements, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages;
  • understand your needs and interests, and personalize your experience with the Service and our communications; and
  • provide support for the Service, and respond to your requests, questions and feedback.

Research and development. We may use your personal information for research and development purposes, including to analyze user behavior, understand the effectiveness of existing features, plan new features, measure audience size or characteristics and otherwise analyze and improve the Service and our business.

Create anonymized data. We may create aggregated, de-identified or other anonymous data from personal information we collect. We make personal information into anonymous data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We may use this anonymous data and share it with third parties to analyze and improve the Service, promote our business or for any lawful business purpose.

Marketing and advertising. We, our service providers and our third-party advertising partners may collect and use your personal information for the following marketing and advertising purposes:

  • Direct marketing. We may send you recurring direct marketing communications about our products and services and other products and services that may interest you as permitted by law. You may opt-out of our direct marketing communications as described in the “Opt-out of marketing” section below.
  • Interest-based advertising. We may engage third-party advertisers or advertising companies to display ads on our Service and other online services. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your interaction (including the data described in the automatic data collection section above) over time across the Service, our communications and other online services, and use that information to serve online ads that they think will interest you. This is called interest-based advertising. We may also share names, email addresses and device identifiers about our users with these companies to facilitate interest-based advertising to those or similar users on other online platforms. You can learn more about your choices for limiting interest-based advertising in the “Your choices” section below.

Compliance and protection. We may use your personal information to:

  • comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas or requests from government authorities;
  • protect our, your or others’ rights, privacy, safety or property (including by making and defending legal claims);
  • audit our internal processes for compliance with legal and contractual requirements and internal policies;
  • enforce the terms and conditions that govern the Service; and
  • prevent, identify, investigate and deter fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activity, including cyberattacks and identity theft.

Blocking cookies in your browser. Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. Please note that if you set your browser to disable cookies, our websites may not work properly. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our websites. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer or device and you may need to log in every time you visit our websites.

Limiting interest-based advertising. You may opt out of receiving interest-based advertising on websites through members of the Network Advertising Initiative by clicking here or the Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here. Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms linked above. If you choose to opt-out of interest-based ads, you will still see advertisements online but they may not be relevant to you. Even if you do choose to opt out, you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that do not participate in the programs listed above.

Do Not Track. Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” or similar signals. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit https://www.allaboutdnt.com

Linked third-party platforms. If you choose to connect to the Service through your social media account or other third-party platform, you may be able to use your settings in your account with that platform to limit the information we receive from it. If you revoke our ability to access information from a third-party platform, that choice will not apply to information that we have already received from that third party.

Other sites and services

The Service may contain links to or embedded content from websites, mobile applications, and other online services operated by third parties. In addition, our content may be integrated into web pages or other online services that are not associated with us. These links and integrations are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. We do not control websites, mobile applications or online services operated by third parties, and we are not responsible for their actions.

Security

We employ a number of technical, organizational and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, security risk is inherent in all internet and information technologies, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

International data transfer

We are headquartered in the United States and may use service providers that operate in other countries. Your personal information may be transferred to the United States or other locations where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your state, province, or country.

Children

The Service is not intended for use by children under 16 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal information through the Service from a child under 16 without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian as required by law, we will delete it.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by updating the date of this Privacy Policy and posting it on the Service. If required by law we will also provide notification of changes in another way that we believe is reasonably likely to reach you, such as via email or another manner through the Service. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting the modified version (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting). In all cases, your use of the Service after the effective date of any modified Privacy Policy indicates your acceptance of the modified Privacy Policy.

Other Personal Information

In addition to the above personal information, you may be requested to provide financial information, including your credit card information, billing and/or shipping information, when you seek to engage in the following or other activities online, over the telephone, or in person: purchase a membership; purchase a product or service; purchase concert or museum tickets or for other events offered by Bethel Woods; make a donation; register for educational programs, activities, group ticket sales, facility rentals, or package promotions offered in conjunction with other businesses; or participate in other activities offered by Bethel Woods or at its facilities. Your personal information will be used to process your transaction and will be stored in our systems after your transaction is complete so that we can track and service your order needs and address any issues or questions that may arise with respect to you or your transaction.

Children

Bethel Woods does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 years old through its websites. Anyone under 18 years old should seek his or her parent’s or guardian’s permission prior to using or disclosing any information on the websites. Bethel Woods believes that parents should supervise their children’s online activities and should consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that help provide a safe online environment for children to work within. These tools can also prevent children from disclosing personal information without parental permission. For additional information about parental control tools, please consult the “Consumer Help” page of the Direct Marketing Association home page which can be found at www.thedma.org/resources/consumer-resources. If the parent or guardian of a child under 13 believes that the child has provided us with any information, the parent or guardian of that child should contact us if they want this information deleted from our files. If Bethel Woods obtains knowledge from any source that it has information about a child under 13 in retrievable form in its files, we will endeavor to delete that information from our existing files.

Additional Other Personal Information

Bethel Woods may collect other personal information about the visitors to our website. Such other information includes, by way of example, information collected through use of technologies such as “cookies,” “spotlight tags” and “web beacons.” In using these technologies, we may collect your domain name and Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type and version, operating system and platform, and the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) clickstream to and from our website (including date and time). This other personal information may be used, for among other purposes, to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our website, and to perform statistical analyses that are used to measure interest in various areas of our websites to help determine, among other things, the usefulness of various products and services, and to generate advertising related to the click stream of an IP address. Using such other personal information we may also compile and provide aggregate statistics about the use of our website, our visitors, customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information.

Does Bethel Woods Share the Information it Receives?

Bethel Woods may share personal information with third parties such as our agents, service providers and other representatives acting on our behalf. For example, we may share personal information with third parties to perform services on our behalf such as: delivering packages; registration for and participation in educational programs; order fulfillment; maintaining our membership program; conducting and using research and analysis; processing credit card and similar payments; preparing and sending marketing communications; or conducting other activities. The third parties with whom we conduct business are authorized to use your information only to perform the service for which they are hired. They are required to abide by the terms of our Privacy Policy including taking reasonable measures to ensure your personal information is secure. When you register for a promotional package or educational program, your personal information may be shared with the businesses or educational institutions identified by name in the promotional package or educational program materials. This is required to complete your reservation or registration in the promotional package or educational program. We cannot be responsible for the content or privacy practices employed by these third parties. For this reason, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties before disclosing any personal information to or through them. From time to time, we may be required to share personal information in response to a court order, subpoena, government investigation, or as otherwise required by law. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful. We also may share personal information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property and safety of others and ourselves.

How Secure is Information About Me?

Without limiting the other provisions of this Privacy Statement, we work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

Links to Third Party Websites

Our websites may contain “links” to other websites. We cannot be responsible for the content or privacy practices employed by other sites. For this reason, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of these websites before disclosing any personal information to or through them.

Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you are entitled by law to request an Information Sharing Disclosure. If you request it, we will provide you with a notice of your right to prevent sharing of your personal information as well as a cost-free means of doing so. To receive such a notice, submit a request to the email address listed in the Contacts section below, specifying that you seek your “California Customer Choice Notice.” Please allow thirty days for a response.
