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. Cookies and User Targeting Advertisements
We use cookies and other technologies both to provide our Services to you and to advertise to you. We also may work with Partners to advertise our Products and Services to you when you visit other websites or mobile applications, and to help them perform user analytics. These technologies may also be used to analyze how our Users interact with advertising on our Services and elsewhere, and more generally, to learn more about our Users and what services or offers you might prefer to receive.

3. 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).

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Children
We do not solicit personal information from children. Sites specifically geared toward children will not request any personal or contact information.
