We encourage you to read the complete privacy policy; use of DTH’s website constitutes your acceptance of this policy.  

 

Collection of Your Personal Information  

 

Information you give us 

DTH will often request information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you purchase tickets, make donations to DTH, register for email newsletters or alerts, participate in a promotion or an online survey, contact us with a question or suggestion, request postal mailings, or apply for employment. Personal information collected by DTH generally includes a home address, email address, phone number, credit card information including expiration date and billing address, and program or genre preferences; it may include other information as needed to provide a specific service you requested or as part of an online survey or promotion. We collect this information when you enter it on DTH website, affiliated purchase or RSVP links or provide it voluntarily.  

 

Automatic Information 

When you visit DTH’s website, we automatically collect website usage information, as well as information about your computer and Internet connection. This includes your computer’s IP address, the type and version of browser and operating system you use, your Internet domain, if you visit via a link from another website, and the URL of the linking page. This site visitation data is identified only by a unique ID number, and it is not linked with personal information unless you choose to log in. We aggregate this usage information and use it to identify the levels and areas of interest in DTH and to improve and refine our websites, services, and security. We may perform (or have third parties perform) analyses of visitors’ behavior, and may share aggregated, anonymous data with funders, sponsors, or agencies. 

 We sometimes use cookie technology to gain information that helps us improve the user experience and enhances the functionality of our websites. A cookie is a small amount of data sent by our websites and stored on your computer’s hard drive that our site can read, and which helps us keep track of how you use our websites. Many web browsers automatically accept cookies by default but contain an option for you to disable the cookie acceptance if you prefer. We do not allow unrelated third parties to set cookies via DTH website. 

 DTH uses electronic images known as web beacons to monitor the activity of our email messages. These web beacons allow DTH’s email service provider to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that opened the email and what links were clicked within the email. With both cookies and web beacon technology, the information that we collect is anonymous and not personally identifiable.  

 DTH uses remarketing with Google Analytics to advertise online. This means that DTH allows third party vendors to show DTH’s ads on sites across the Internet. DTH and these third-party vendors use first party cookies and third party cookies together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on a visitor’s past visits to DanceTheatreofHarlem.org. 

 We employ third parties to perform functions like sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from customer lists, and processing credit card payments. These parties have access to personal information that is necessary to perform their functions, but they are contractually obligated not to use it for other purposes.  

 You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Preferences page, and if you want to, you can opt out of interest-based advertising entirely by cookie settings or permanently using a browser plugin. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

This information generally consists of your name and mailing address. We do not share your email address or telephone number. You can request at anytime that we do not share your name and address with such third parties by emailing us at info@dancetheatreofharlem.org.
