Last updated: December 22, 2023

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using the georgiansforthearts.org (the “Service,” “Services”) operated by the Georgians for the Arts and its affiliates (“us,” “we,” or “our”).

Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy (“Policy,” “Policies”), terms used in this Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Use.

This page informs users of our policies regarding collecting, using, and disclosing personal information when using our Service.

Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Policies. Policies apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.

You agree to be bound by these Policies by accessing or using the Service. If you disagree with any part of the Policy, you may not access the Service.

Information Collection

While using our Service, we may ask users to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify users.

Personally identifiable information (“personal information”) may include, but is not limited to:
• names (individual and organization)
• titles
• postal address
• e-mail addresses
• phone and fax numbers, and
• billing information

By submitting data via Service, users consent to share users data in accordance with the guidelines of our Policies.

We collect data that the user’s browser sends whenever users visit our Service. This data may include information such as a user’s computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that users visit, the time and date of users visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.

Information Use

When users submit information via this Service, it provides them with the services they requested from us.

We use this information to reply to inquiries and process billing and business requests related to program participation, including listservs, membership, donations, purchases, and online communications.

We and the occasional third party will only access this information as described below.

We will not use or share user information with anyone except as described in this Policy.

Basic contact information collected, which may exclude e-mail addresses, may be shared via roster with all meeting attendees and meeting exhibitors.

Cookies

Cookies are text messages stored on a user’s computer’s hard drive.

The message is sent back to a website’s server each time the user’s browser requests a page from the server that set the cookie.

As users browse the website, read pages, or download information, we may automatically gather and store certain information about user visits. This information does not identify users personally.

Cookies only contain technical information and can be deleted from the user’s hard drive or denied if users have disabled the cookies. Users can instruct the browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if users do not accept cookies, users may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

Most features that we provide can still be utilized if users have disabled cookies in the user’s browser, but they may require users to log in multiple times and may otherwise affect site performance.

Information submitted to us confidentially will not be shared with outside organizations, individuals, or companies, and users are free to delete cookies from their computer’s hard drives at any time.

We may automatically collect and store only the following information about users visit: the domain and IP address from which users access our website; the type of browser and operating system used to access our site; the date and time users access our site; the pages users visit; and if users linked to our site from another website, the address of that website.

If users prefer not to allow cookies, turn them off in our browser by following the instructions in the browser support information or help.

The main purposes of our cookies are to prepare a customized Service that users request, let users move as quickly and easily around our site as possible, and identify users who have voluntarily submitted any personal information about themselves to us.

We use temporary session cookies that only apply to the current site visit, except our statistics software, which is permanent (to identify repeat users).

We use this information to help us make our site more useful to users—to learn about the number of users on our Service and the types of technology our users use.

Listservs

We manage several listservs. Only those who have joined particular listservs may post to those lists.

We do not give, sell, or rent these lists’ subscriber information to any third parties. However, please note that content sent to the list is viewable by all subscribers.

Material Fulfillment and Third Party Service Providers

To facilitate our offerings and services, we may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate Services, provide a Service on our behalf, perform service-related Services, or assist us in analyzing how our Services are used.

Such data processors are instructed to act strictly upon instruction from us.

These third parties have access to users’ personal information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Security

The security of a user’s personal information is important to us, but know and acknowledge that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect user personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites or services not owned or controlled by us.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of third-party websites or services.

You further acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods, or services available on or through any such web sites or services.

We strongly advise you to read the Terms of Use and related Privacy Policies of any third-party websites or services you visit.

Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not intended, designed, or specifically addressed to anyone under 18.

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 18.

If a user, parent, or guardian is aware that the child has provided us with personal information, contact us immediately to have that information deleted.

If we discover that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information from our servers immediately.

Compliance With Laws

We may disclose users’ personal information where required by law or subpoena.

These Policies shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of Georgia without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof. You hereby consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in Chatham County, Georgia, in connection with any actions or proceedings arising from or relating to these Terms.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Policies will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Policies is held invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. These Policies constitute the entire agreement between us regarding our Service and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might have between us regarding the Service.

Changes To This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Policies at any time.

If a revision is material, we will try to provide at least 30 days’ notice before any new Policies take effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.

By continuing to access or use our Service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Policies. If you disagree with the new Policies, please stop using the Service.
