Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center

The Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center (“SBDAC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information through sbdac.com and the online services connected to our events, education programs, memberships, donations, and venue rentals.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide when you contact us, subscribe to our emails, purchase tickets, make a donation, become a member, register for a program, apply to volunteer, or inquire about renting our spaces. Depending on your interaction, this may include:

Your name, email address, phone number, and mailing or billing address.
Ticket purchases, registrations, membership details, donation history, and communication preferences.
Information you submit through forms, applications, correspondence, or rental inquiries.
Participant and parent or guardian information needed for education or youth program registration.

Please provide only the requested information. Additional notices may apply to individual programs or forms.

Our website and service providers may also collect technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring website, and the date and time of your visit.

How We Use Information

We use personal information to:

Process purchases, donations, memberships, registrations, and rental requests.
Provide services and communicate about your transactions, programs, or inquiries.
Send newsletters, event announcements, fundraising communications, and other updates consistent with your preferences and applicable law.
Coordinate volunteers and administer education and community programs.
Maintain and improve our website and services, understand website use, and protect against misuse.
Maintain records and meet legal, accounting, and reporting obligations.

Payments and Third-Party Services

Online transactions may be handled by third-party ticketing, registration, donation, or payment providers. These providers collect information needed to process your transaction and may provide SBDAC with transaction details and contact information.

The information these providers collect directly is also subject to their own privacy policies. Please review those policies when using their services.

[Before publication: Identify current providers and confirm whether SBDAC receives or stores any payment card information.]

We Respect Your Privacy

SBDAC does not sell, rent, exchange, or share your personal information with other organizations for their marketing or fundraising purposes. Our donor, member, participant, and subscriber information is not provided to sponsors, event partners, or other organizations for those purposes.

Service providers supporting our website, ticketing, payment processing, email communications, registrations, and related operations may handle information as needed to provide the services you request. This operational processing is separate from sharing contact lists with other organizations.

We may disclose information when required by applicable law or valid legal process.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functions, remember preferences, measure website activity, and enable third-party content.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website features. Browser settings alone may not stop every form of tracking.

[Before publication: Identify active analytics, advertising pixels, embedded content, and other tracking tools. Describe their purposes, relevant providers, and available consent or opt-out controls, including handling of browser privacy signals where applicable.]

Email Preferences

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us. We may still send communications needed to complete a transaction, provide a requested service, or share important information about a registration or booking.

Children and Youth Programs

Our website is intended for a general audience. Parents or guardians should complete registrations and submit information for children under 13.

We may receive information about children from parents or guardians to administer youth programs. If you believe a child has submitted personal information directly through our website without appropriate parent or guardian involvement, please contact us so we can review and address the situation.

Information Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing services, maintaining required records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

Your Privacy Requests

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, or to update your communication preferences.

We will review requests under applicable law. We may need to verify your identity, and certain information may need to be retained for legal, accounting, or operational reasons. Additional rights may apply depending on your location and the laws applicable to SBDAC.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to other websites and third-party services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review those policies before submitting personal information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our practices or legal requirements. Updates will appear on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Where required, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent.
