Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home, business, or other physical address, a phone number, and an email address. We collect personal information from our website users and patrons only when such information is voluntarily provided to us, including, without limitation, in connection with inquiries about our services through the ‘Contact Us’ page, as part of signing up for our email subscriptions, or in the process of your business transactions with us.
How We May Use Your Information
If you provide us with personal information, we may retain and use that information for several purposes, including facilitating and otherwise addressing your inquiry, request, subscriptions, or business transactions and relationship with the Colorado Symphony. For example, we may use your personal information in order to respond to your questions or requests for information about the Colorado Symphony, its events and services.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset e-mail. We may sometimes use other businesses to perform certain services for us, such as providing mailing services and processing inquiries. We may provide personal information to those businesses when that information is necessary for them to complete a requested transaction or otherwise perform their duties. The Colorado Symphony will take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers are obligated to protect personal information on Colorado Symphony’s behalf. The Colorado Symphony may share your personal information with other non-profit organizations for marketing purposes only. In the event that the Colorado Symphony is no longer in business, your personal information will be destroyed. We reserve the right to disclose such information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
