This information may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, organization, and any message you send us.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, our server and the services we use may automatically receive basic technical information. This can include your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you visit, and the date and time of your visit. We use this information to keep the website working, secure, and easy to use.

  • Google Fonts, which provides the typefaces used on the site (Google Privacy Policy)
  • unpkg.com, a content delivery network that provides some of the site’s code
  • Google Analytics, which helps us understand how visitors use the site in aggregate
  • Mailchimp, which manages our newsletter subscriptions

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the website may not work as intended if you do.

Donations

When you donate through our website, we collect your name, email address, mailing address, donation amount, and any dedication or message you include. We use this information to process your gift, send your tax receipt, and keep accurate records.

Payments are processed securely by [payment processor]. Your full card or bank details are sent directly to the processor and are not stored on our website.

We may recognize donors by name in our publications or on our website, such as on supporter lists. If you prefer to give anonymously, tell us when you donate or contact us at admin@bpcp.org.

How We Share and Protect Information

We share personal information only in these situations:

  • Service providers that help us run the website, send email, or process donations. They may use your information only to provide services to us.
  • Program partners, when you take part in a program run jointly with a member organization or nonprofit partner, and only the information needed for that program.
  • Legal requirements, when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of the Cultural Partnership, our visitors, or others.

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, or as required for nonprofit, tax, and legal records.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections across our website. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices and Rights

Email. You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time by using the link at the bottom of any message or by contacting us.

Access and corrections. You may ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, subject to any records we must keep by law. Email admin@bpcp.org to make a request.

California residents. Under California law, you may ask whether we have shared your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share personal information for that purpose. You may contact us with any questions.

Do Not Track. Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no common standard for how websites should respond, our website does not currently respond to these signals. We do not track visitors across other websites.

Children’s privacy. Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has shared personal information with us, please contact us and we will delete it.

Links to Other Websites

Our website links to other sites, including our member organizations, Balboa Park Explorer, balboapark.org, and LinkedIn. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and change the effective date above.
