PCA Great Performances is committed to safeguarding your privacy. This document describes the types of information we collect about you and what we do with it. Last revised April 3, 2008.
We collect information you provide about yourself when you:
From time to time, in addition to information our patrons provide to us, we receive lists of names and postal addresses from Portland-area nonprofits. These lists are used for one-time mailings, usually of our annual brochure, and are destroyed after use.
We never purchase lists. We also never purchase, seek out, or accept lists of email addresses or phone numbers.
If you provide us or PortTix with your email address, we may send you our periodic email newsletter, in addition to occasional “postcard? emails when we have something special to announce.
We only want to email you if you want to hear from us. You have the right to opt out of these emails at any time by contacting our offices or by clicking the “unsubscribe? link at the bottom of any marketing email.
We send our email newsletters using an internet mailing service called MailChimp. MailChimp will never use your information except on our behalf. If you have concerns, we encourage you to read their terms of service.
We may occasionally share our list of email addresses with collaborating organizations, but only so that they may send email on our behalf. We never share email addresses with such organizations so that they may use them for marketing.
If you supply us or PortTix with your postal address you may receive mailings from us with information on your purchases or future events. If you do not wish to receive such mailings, please let us know by contacting our offices.
We may periodically share your name and postal address with other local nonprofit organizations for one-time-only use. If you wish, you may have your information put on our do-not-share list by writing to us at the above address. Please provide us with your exact name and address and we will do our best to ensure your name is removed from any lists we share with other organizations.
Your phone number may be used to contact you about any problems related to your ticket purchases and to directly respond to you when you have contacted us. In addition to these uses, from time to time, we may use your phone number to contact you for assistance with market research. We do not generally telemarket, although we may eventually do so. If you do not wish to be marketed to by telephone, please let us know by contacting our offices.
We never share our list of phone numbers with any other organizations.
