Welcome to the official Web site of Bay Area Rainbow Symphony. We have created this Web site to provide information about Bay Area Rainbow Symphony and its events, to fulfill ticket requests, and to accept contributions.

To help us achieve these purposes in a manner that is convenient for you, we gather two types of limited information from visitors to our Web site: anonymous usage information, and the personal information provided by those who register with us. Details about what information we gather and how we use it is presented here. Bay Area Rainbow Symphony is committed to using reasonable best efforts to ensure the privacy of all our visitors.

Anonymous Information

You are welcome to visit and browse our Web site as often as you like without logging in, and no personally identifiable information about your visit will be collected. Our Web servers track usage information for these visits, but on an entirely anonymous basis. This usage information is general data about how visitors use our Web site, which pages are most frequently visited, which Web sites most frequently refer visitors to our site, and how long patrons spend on our site.

Our servers track your usage by logging your IP address. We do not associate the anonymous information we collect through the tags with any personal information, and we do not otherwise monitor this information on an individual basis. Instead, we aggregate this usage information and use it only to monitor broad usage trends, to evaluate the effectiveness of our Web site’s design, to determine what customers do and do not use on the Web site, and to improve the Web site’s overall usability.

We may perform, or have third parties perform, analyses of visitors’ behavior, and may share aggregated data with sponsors and advertisers, again on an entirely anonymous basis.

Personal Information

Personal information is any data related to the personal identity of a visitor to our Web site. A customer’s name, address, phone number, credit card number, e-mail address, and purchase history are all examples of personal information.

We do not require visitors to provide any personal information in order to browse our Web site or to obtain general information on our Web site. We do, however, require Web site users to provide personal information in order to purchase tickets, join our mailing list, or make contributions.

Bay Area Rainbow Symphony never shares our patrons’ names, e-mail addresses, postal addresses, telephone numbers, or other identifying personal information with others.

Periodically, we provide mailing list registrants with important information via e-mail. You have the opportunity to opt out of receiving such e-mail notices should you wish to do so by clicking on the opt out link at the footer of the email. For postal mailing opt outs, please send an email with your name and full address to mailing-list at bars-sf dot org.

Children

We do not solicit personal information from people known to be under 18 years of age.

Cookies Used on this Site

A "cookie" is a text file with a unique identifier that is placed on your hard disk by a Web site’s server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by the Web site that issued the cookie to you. We do not use cookies to store anonymous information or to track personally identifiable information on this site without registering. We use cookies only in the most limited manner, that is, to help our Web servers maintain your current session as you go from one page to another.

Our site includes links to other Web sites. We do not control the privacy policies of the destination sites. Once you leave our servers (you can determine where you are by checking the URL in the location bar on your browser), use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting. That policy may differ from our policy.

If you cannot find the privacy policy of any of these sites via a link from the site’s homepage, you should contact the manager of that site for more information. Bay Area Rainbow Symphony is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of Web sites other than bars-sf.org.

Keeping Your Information Secure and Accurate

Bay Area Rainbow Symphony attempts to protect your information with appropriate security measures to guard against its loss, misuse, or alteration within reason. Accordingly, we use secure communications technologies whenever we transfer or receive certain types of sensitive information, such as financial data, and we restrict access to customer information to the use of authorized Bay Area Rainbow Symphony staff only.

You can help Bay Area Rainbow Symphony maintain the accuracy of your personal information by notifying us when you change your post address, title, phone number, or e-mail address.
