Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7/21/2026

ArtsWestchester respects the privacy of individuals who visit our website, make donations, become members, register for events, subscribe to our email communications, or otherwise interact with our organization online or through related services. This Privacy Statement explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and the choices available to you.

Information we collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, donation information, membership information, event registration information, survey responses, and other information you choose to share with us. We may collect this information when you make a donation, become a member, register for an event, sign up for emails, complete a form, or otherwise interact with ArtsWestchester online or through related services.

If you make an online donation or other payment transaction, we may also collect related transaction details, but payment card data is typically processed by our payment provider rather than stored directly by ArtsWestchester.

We may also collect certain technical information automatically when you use our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referral source, and general usage patterns. We use website analytics tools to help collect and analyze website usage information, such as user counts, session statistics, approximate geolocation, and browser/device information.

We use our constituent relationship management systems to manage donor, membership, and constituent records and to help maintain records related to donations, memberships, events, communications, and other organizational activities.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to process donations, manage memberships, register participants for events, send newsletters and administrative communications, respond to inquiries, provide services, improve our website, maintain internal records, and fulfill legal, accounting, and reporting obligations. We may also use your information to communicate about programs, events, campaigns, and opportunities that we believe may be of interest to you.

We use website analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website and to help us improve our content, performance, and user experience. We use our constituent relationship management systems to manage donor, membership, and constituent records, and to process or track transactions, forms, and related organizational activities as applicable.

How we share information

We share information only with trusted service providers and, when necessary, with affiliated organizations or event partners to fulfill requests or operate our programs. These service providers may include payment processors, fundraising platforms, event registration systems, email service providers, website hosting providers, constituent relationship management systems, mailing vendors, and analytics services.

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of ArtsWestchester, our users, or others.

We do not sell personal information.

Email communications

If you subscribe to our email list, we may send newsletters, event updates, reminders, membership notices, and other communications related to ArtsWestchester programs and activities. You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us at [email protected]. Please note that even if you opt out of promotional emails, we may still send transactional or administrative messages related to donations, memberships, registrations, or other requests you submitted.

Cookies and analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support basic site functions and to collect analytics about how visitors use the site. This may include information collected through website analytics tools and other website measurement tools.

We use this information to understand website traffic, improve user experience, and evaluate the effectiveness of our content and campaigns. If we use non-essential tracking technologies in the future, we may provide additional notice or choices, including a cookie preference tool or consent banner, where appropriate.

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this statement, to comply with legal, tax, accounting, or reporting obligations, and to maintain our organizational records. Our current retention practice is [RETENTION PERIOD OR POLICY].

Children and youth information

Our website and online forms are generally intended for adults, including parents or guardians registering children for programs or events. If we collect information from a child directly, we do so only with appropriate consent and for the specific program or service involved. [CHILD DATA LANGUAGE / AGE LIMIT / PARENTAL CONSENT POLICY].

Your choices and rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to applicable law and our recordkeeping obligations. You may also request that we stop sending promotional emails or limit certain communications. To make a privacy request, contact the Website Manager at [email protected] or (914) 428-4220.

You may also contact us through [email protected] regarding account, contribution, or membership records.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no website, online system, or electronic transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our website may include links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their policies before providing personal information.

Changes to this statement

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
