PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: 2026

Arlington Children’s Chorus (“ACC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. We understand that you care about how the personal information you provide to us is used and shared. This Privacy Policy explains how our website collects, safeguards, and uses information when you visit our website or submit personal information in support of our nonprofit mission. By interacting with our website, you agree to and accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

INFORMATION COLLECTED

Certain applications on our website may require users to register or provide personal information in order to make a purchase or be included on our electronic mailing lists. This information may include names, email addresses, mailing addresses, and/or order or transaction details. We may also automatically collect limited technical information, such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, to help us understand how our website is used.

From time to time, we may also request information on a voluntary basis. Any demographic information gathered and shared with third parties does not identify individual users and is provided only in aggregate form. Providing such information is optional, and choosing not to do so will not limit your ability to use our website.

USE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED

Electronic Mail. If you have opted in to receive electronic communications from the ACC, we may use your personal information to email you regarding ACC activities, outreach, registrations, orders, or inquiries. All emails sent by the ACC include an option to opt out of future communications. You may also opt out at any time by contacting us at staff@arlingtonchildrenschorus.org.

Non-Electronic Information. From time to time, the ACC may collect personal information through non-electronic means, such as paper forms, mailed registrations, in-person sign-ups, or other offline communications. Information collected through these methods is used for the same nonprofit purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including administration, communication, event participation, and recordkeeping. Such information is handled with reasonable care and is not shared except as described in this Privacy Policy.

Registration Information. As part of program registration, the ACC collects information relating to participating children that is necessary for program administration, participation, safety, and communication with parents or guardians. This information is provided by parents or legal guardians, is used only for nonprofit and program-related purposes, and is not shared with third parties without the express consent of the parent or legal guardian, or as required by law.

PAYMENTS

Payments are processed through third-party payment providers. We do not store or have access to your full payment card information. Payment processors handle this information securely in accordance with their own privacy policies.

SHARING OF INFORMATION

We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share information only with trusted service providers (such as payment processors, email services, or shipping providers) solely for the purpose of operating our nonprofit activities, or when required by law or necessary to protect our legal rights.

COOKIES AND WEBSITE ANALYTICS

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to improve functionality and understand website traffic. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences.

PROTECTION OF THE ACC AND OTHERS

We may release personal information when required to comply with the law, enforce our policies, or protect the rights, property, or safety of the ACC, our users, or others. This may include exchanging information with other organizations for fraud protection and risk reduction.

In order to purchase tickets or merchandise, access subscriber services, or join our email list, you may be required to complete a registration form. Registration generally requires basic contact information such as your name and email address. This information is used to contact you regarding services or activities in which you have expressed interest. Providing additional demographic information is optional.

SECURITY

The ACC and its third-party ticketing and registration providers maintain reasonable security measures to protect against loss, misuse, and alteration of information under our control. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

LINKS

This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through the ACC website. The ACC is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites that may be linked from our site.

CONTACT US/HOW TO UPDATE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You may help the ACC maintain accurate personal information by notifying us of changes to your address, phone number, or email address. If you wish to update your information or no longer receive communications from us, please contact staff@arlingtonchildrenschorus.org.

CONDITIONS OF USE, NOTICES, AND REVISIONS

If you choose to interact with the ACC website, your visit and any dispute relating to privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy and the website’s Terms of Use. We may update this policy from time to time, and any changes will be posted on this page. Use of information is governed by the Privacy Policy in effect at the time the information is collected.

We encourage users to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we collect, use, and protect information.
