Privacy Policy

The Guthrie Theater Foundation ("GUTHRIE") is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the GUTHRIE website and governs data collection and usage. By using the GUTHRIE website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

GUTHRIE collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, address or telephone number. GUTHRIE also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, preferences, interests and favorites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by GUTHRIE. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used by GUTHRIE for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the GUTHRIE website.

GUTHRIE encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from GUTHRIE so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. GUTHRIE is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the GUTHRIE and GUTHRIE family of websites.

GUTHRIE collects and uses your personal information to operate the GUTHRIE website and deliver the services you have requested. GUTHRIE also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from GUTHRIE and its affiliates. GUTHRIE may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

GUTHRIE does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. GUTHRIE may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, GUTHRIE may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to GUTHRIE, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

GUTHRIE does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

GUTHRIE keeps track of the websites and pages our customers visit within GUTHRIE, in order to determine what GUTHRIE services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within GUTHRIE to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

GUTHRIE websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on GUTHRIE or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of GUTHRIE; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of GUTHRIE, or the public.

The GUTHRIE website uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize GUTHRIE pages, or register with GUTHRIE site or services, a cookie helps GUTHRIE to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same GUTHRIE website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the GUTHRIE features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the GUTHRIE services or websites you visit.

GUTHRIE secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. GUTHRIE secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

GUTHRIE will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. GUTHRIE encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how GUTHRIE is protecting your information.

GUTHRIE welcomes your comments regarding this Statement of Privacy. If you believe that GUTHRIE has not adhered to this Statement, please contact GUTHRIE at webmaster@guthrietheater.org. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and remedy the problem.
