COTERIE THEATRE PRIVACY POLICY

The Coterie Theatre is committed to respecting the personal information of all Coterie Theatre patrons and partners. In order to protect the privacy of our supporters and patrons, The Coterie Theatre has the following policies:

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

1. The Coterie Theatre collects personal information (such as address or ticket history) only from ticket-buyers, donors and others who have actively shown or are likely to show an interest in the Company.
2. Individuals will be informed about the purposes for which their information will be used.

STORAGE OF INFORMATION

1. Personal information is stored in our database and in hard copy files. Only authorized The Coterie Theatre personnel have access to this information.
2. Personal information that is no longer required to fulfill the stated purpose will be destroyed or made anonymous

USE OF INFORMATION

1. The Coterie Theatre uses personal information to better serve our patrons and to expand our community. Primarily, this includes:
• mailings (by post or electronic) and phone calls to provide information about tickets and donations
• mailings (by post or electronic) and phone calls to thank supporters and issue tax receipts
• mailings (by post or electronic) or phone calls to invite supporters to special events
• service phone calls and emails
The Coterie Theatre is committed to using personal information in a respectful and useful way. Patrons and supporters will receive information that we believe will be in their interest. The Coterie Theatre will also commit itself to making sure patrons and donors do not receive more than a reasonable number of letters or phone calls.
If an individual requests that their personal information not be used for one of these purposes as noted above, or for any other purpose, that request will be honored. The individual's account will be updated accordingly.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

The Coterie Theatre never discloses the personal information of subscribers or donors to any third party. Occasionally, we exchange lists of names and addresses of single ticket buyers with other like-minded arts organizations.

This exchange happens only through a third party data and mailing service organization, so that neither organization has access to the personal information. The contracted third party must comply with strict data privacy standards, including rules and guidelines of federal privacy legislation, and is required to destroy the information supplied after one use.

INDIVIDUAL ACCESS, QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS
