Overview

Welcome to the Orinda Theatre Square website! We appreciate your visit and your interest in our Privacy Statement. At Orinda Theatre Square, we prioritize your privacy and are committed to safeguarding your personal information. We do not collect any personal information about visitors to our website unless you voluntarily choose to provide that information to us. When you do share information, we will use it solely to respond to your inquiries and provide you with the relevant information you have requested.

Information Collected and Stored Automatically

When you access our website, we automatically gather and store certain information about your visit. This data helps us track website usage, enabling us to improve our services and enhance your experience. The information collected includes:

• IP Address: The unique address assigned to your device while browsing the internet.
• Domain Name: The domain from which you are accessing our website (e.g., gmail.com if connecting through a Google account).
• Browser and Operating System: Details about the type of web browser and operating system you are using.
• Access Date and Time: The specific date and time of your visit.
• Visited Pages and Links: Information on the pages, files, and links you engage with on our site.
• Referral Domain: The last website you visited before arriving at our site.

This information is aggregated and used for analytical purposes only. We do not use it to personally contact you.

Cookies

In addition to the automatic data collection, we employ cookies to enhance the internal functionality of our website. Cookies are small data files that are sent to your browser by the websites you visit. They help us track usage patterns, traffic trends, and user behavior while also recording other information to improve your experience. For example, cookies allow us to remember your preferences, so you won’t have to re-enter information on subsequent visits.

We may utilize third-party vendors, such as Google Analytics, to manage cookies and analyze the collected data. This enables us to make our website more engaging and useful for you. Importantly, no personally identifiable information is collected through these cookies, and the data gathered will not be used to create individual user profiles. The information is retained only as long as necessary to support the objectives of Orinda Theatre Square.

You have the option to refuse cookies by adjusting your browser settings. If you choose to do so, you can still access most areas of our website; however, certain functionalities, such as shopping or interactive features, may be limited. Additionally, you can opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We also leverage the Demographics and Interest reporting feature of Google Analytics for Display Advertising. This service provides insights into visitor demographics, such as age, gender, and interests, which help us better tailor our content to our users’ preferences. If you prefer not to share this information, you can opt out via Google’s Ad Settings.

If You Send Us Personal Information

If you choose to provide us with personal information—such as through emails, membership forms, class registrations, event sign-ups, surveys, or merchandise orders—we will use that information to respond to your inquiry or fulfill your request. Additionally, we may reach out to you regarding activities, programs, memberships, and events that might interest you. Rest assured, we will not share your information with external parties unless you explicitly authorize us to do so.

When we send you emails, you will always have the opportunity to opt out of further communication. Instructions for opting out will be provided in each email. If you are unsure whom to contact, feel free to reach out to our webmaster at [email protected].

Occasionally, we may work with outside vendors to provide specific services. These vendors will have access to the information necessary to perform their functions but are not permitted to use your information for any other purpose. We may also share select member names and addresses with other charitable or cultural non-profit organizations. If such sharing occurs, you will be notified and given the chance to opt out.

If you choose to opt in, you may receive correspondence from these organizations regarding relevant programs, products, or services. To stop receiving communication from a non-Orinda Theatre Square entity, please contact that organization directly to be removed from their mailing list.

At Orinda Theatre Square, we take reasonable precautions to ensure the security of our website and the information it contains. We implement appropriate technologies and security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse.

We continuously monitor network traffic to identify and prevent unauthorized attempts to access or manipulate our information systems. Any unauthorized access or attempts to change information on our website are strictly prohibited and may result in legal consequences under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act. We also limit access to personal information to those employees who require it for business purposes. Furthermore, we require our service providers to agree contractually to protect the confidentiality and security of the information they handle.
