PRIVACY STATEMENT
Sammons Center for the Arts (“Sammons Center”) recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of your personal information. “Personal Information” includes, but is not limited to, name, address, telephone number, email address, and credit card information that can identify you as an individual. Sammons Center does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise divulge any personal information. The intent of this Privacy Statement is to inform users how our website, sammonsartcenter.org, collects, stores, and uses personal information.
Collection of Information
When you leave comments on the website, Sammons Center collects the data shown in the comments form as well as your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
Sammons Center also collects certain personal information that you provide voluntarily when using our website. No software or hardware techniques are used to capture your email address without your knowledge. Certain applications on the Sammons Center website may require you to register or to provide certain personal information to complete a paid or free transaction, to enter a contest, or to subscribe to our free e-newsletter. We will note at the time of collection what personal information is required or only requested. Your personal information, whether mandatory or not, is not shared or sold to third parties.
Mailing Lists
An application on our website allows you to subscribe to our free e-newsletter by providing your name and email address to Sammons Center. If you provide Sammons Center with your name and email address, Sammons Center, in addition to sending you the e-newsletter, may contact you from time to time with special offers. If you wish to be removed from the e-mailing list, you may unsubscribe at any time via email or by contacting Sammons Center directly.
Sammons Center does not rent, sell, or trade our e-mailing list with any other entity.
Information to Third Parties
Sammons Center may occasionally present a special contest or promotion on its website that is sponsored by another company. To qualify for entry, we may ask you to provide personal information. If we plan to share that information with the sponsor(s), we will state that.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to Sammons Center. All user information is stored in secure databases protected with a variety of access controls. Access controls include password protection, electronic firewalls, and procedural safeguards. Secure socket layer (SSL) encryption is used to protect all financial information, and credit card information is not stored on a Web-enabled server. This data is accessed only for purposes specified in this Privacy Statement.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we use commercially reasonable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee that such information will never be disclosed in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Statement. This includes, but is not limited to, unauthorized acts by third parties that violate applicable law.
Financial Information
Sammons Center will protect any personal financial information that you share with us. If you make a purchase online, we will use your credit card number only to process your payment via Blackbaud and will not use it for marketing purposes. To view Blackbaud’s privacy policy, visit blackbaud.com/company/privacy-policy/north-america. For reasons of security, Sammons Center does not retain credit card information in physical or electronic records or on our web server. We will retain non-financial order information for our records, but this information is never shared with third parties.
