Privacy Policy

The Boston Symphony Orchestra
adopted this Privacy Policy to inform users of the bso.org Internet
site how the site collects, stores, and uses personal information
submitted via the site.
1. Collection of
Information
Certain applications on the Boston
Symphony Orchestra Website may require users to register or to
provide personal information in order to make a commerce
transaction, or to subscribe to a newsletter. Such personal
information is not shared or sold to third parties. To better
understand the needs of our Website users, we may also request
demographic information. Entry of such information is optional and
if you choose not to enter such information, you can successfully
use these applications. If we request demographic information, we
will not share information about you as an individual with any
other entity. If we do share demographic information with third
parties, we will give them aggregate information only.
2. Mailing Lists
If you provide your e-mail address,
the Boston Symphony Orchestra may periodically contact you with
special offers, updated information, and new services. Any e-mails
sent to you by the Boston Symphony Orchestra offer you the option
to be removed from the e-mail mailing list.
Selected applications on our web site
allow visitors to subscribe to our newsletter by providing their
names and addresses to the Boston Symphony Orchestra. If you
provide the Boston Symphony Orchestra with your mailing address or
telephone number, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, in addition to
providing you with the Boston Symphony Orchestra newsletter, may
also use this information to alert you to updated information and
new services. If you wish to be removed from the mailing list, you
may do so by contacting the Boston Symphony Orchestra directly.
(See the 'Contact Us' section below).
3. Information to third
parties
The Boston Symphony Orchestra may
occasionally present a special contest or promotion on bso.org 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 provide a statement to
that effect.
4. Financial
information
The Boston Symphony Orchestra will
protect any personal financial information that you share with us.
If you make a purchase on bso.org, we will use your credit card
number only to process your payment and will not use it for
marketing purposes. For reasons of security, credit card
information is not stored on our Web server. We will retain order
information for our records, but this information is never shared
with third parties.
5. Links
Our site includes links to other
Websites. We do not control the privacy policies of the destination
sites. Once you leave our servers (you can check 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
ours. If you can't 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. The Boston Symphony Orchestra is
not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of
Websites other than bso.org.
6. Children
We do not solicit personal
information from children. Sites specifically geared toward
children will not request any personal or contact
information.
7. Contact Us/How to update your
personal information
You can help the Boston Symphony
Orchestra maintain the accuracy of your personal information by
notifying us when you change your address, title, phone number, or
e-mail address. Contact us via the information on the bso.org
Contacts page if you wish to update your information or if you no
longer wish to receive communications from the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, our partners, or selected third parties. You can also

page.
Please include both your old and new
contact information so that we can make the appropriate
corrections. The Boston Symphony Orchestra would like to receive
your comments or questions about this privacy policy. Please

Orchestra's privacy practices to us at the address listed above.
The Boston Symphony Orchestra may occasionally update this policy.
