Privacy Policy

The Egyptian Theatre Preservation Association ("ETPA," "we," "us," or "our") is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that operates the historic Egyptian Theatre at 229 S. Broadway, Coos Bay, Oregon. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect on our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. We've tried to keep it in plain language.

This policy applies to the Egyptian Theatre website and the services offered under the egyptiantheatre.events domain (and www.egyptiantheatre.events). A temporary preview address ending in azurestaticapps.net is used only during setup and is being retired; this policy is not directed at that address.

Information we collect

• Information you give us. When you sign up to volunteer, ask about a rental, join as a member, or otherwise contact us, we collect what you enter — typically your name and email address, and your phone number if you choose to provide it.
• Payment information. Donations and memberships are processed by our payment provider, Zeffy (see below). Your card details are entered into Zeffy's form and are handled by Zeffy — we never receive or store your payment card information.
• Basic visit information. Our own lightweight visit counter records the page you viewed, the page that referred you, and your IP address, so we can understand how many people use the site and which pages are popular. We keep these records for about 90 days.
• Advertising measurement. To measure and improve the ads we run for the theatre, our pages include Google's advertising tag (Google Ads). When active it may set cookies and share limited information about your visit — such as your device, general location, and the pages you view — with Google. See Analytics, advertising, and your choices below, where you can opt out.
• Website analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, how visitors find and use the site — pages viewed, how you arrived, and general location, device, and browser. Google Analytics sets its own cookies and processes this data on our behalf. See Analytics, advertising, and your choices below, where you can opt out.

Cookies and tracking

Apart from the Google Analytics and Google Ads tags described under Analytics, advertising, and your choices, the Egyptian Theatre website does not set its own cookies. Some features that we embed from other companies may set their own cookies or load their own scripts when you interact with them — for example the Zeffy donation and membership forms on our Donate and Join pages, and YouTube trailer players. Those are controlled by the third party and governed by that company's own privacy policy.

Analytics, advertising, and your choices

We use Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, how our site is used (which pages are visited, how visitors arrive, and general location, device, and browser), and Google Ads to measure how well the ads we run for the theatre work — for example, whether an ad led someone to buy a ticket or sign up. To do this our pages load Google's tag, which may set cookies and send Google limited information about your visit, including your device type, approximate location, and the pages you view. Google may use this to report site statistics, measure ad conversions and, unless you opt out, build advertising audiences.

Your choices. These cookies are on by default, but you stay in control:

• Use the "Your Privacy Choices" link at the bottom of any page to opt out (or back in) at any time; your choice is stored on your device.
• If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we automatically treat it as an opt-out.
• You can also manage Google's use of your data through Google My Ad Center.

Using advertising cookies may be considered "sharing" of personal information for "targeted advertising" under Oregon's and California's privacy laws. We do not sell your personal information for money, and you can opt out of this advertising sharing using the choices above.

Payment processing (Zeffy)

We use Zeffy, a payment platform built for non-profits, to process donations and membership purchases through forms embedded on our site. When you give or join, your payment is handled entirely by Zeffy; ETPA never sees or stores your card number, and Zeffy issues your receipt. At checkout Zeffy may invite you to add an optional tip that supports Zeffy — that tip is separate from your gift to ETPA and is entirely optional. Zeffy's handling of your information is described in Zeffy's privacy policy.

How we use your information

• administer volunteer scheduling and respond to your inquiries;
• process donations and memberships (through Zeffy) and keep our organizational records;
• send you communications you've asked for, such as newsletters, through our email provider;
• understand, in aggregate, how the website is used so we can improve it.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. Aside from the advertising measurement described under Advertising and your choices (which some state laws treat as "sharing" for targeted advertising, and which you can opt out of), we share personal information only with the service providers we rely on to run the theatre and this site, and only as needed for them to perform that service, including:

• Google — website analytics (Google Analytics) and advertising measurement / conversion tracking for the ads we run (Google Ads);
• Zeffy — donation and membership payment processing;
• Mailchimp — email newsletters and member/constituent communications (under Mailchimp's standard data-processing terms);
• Ready Theatre Systems (RTS) — online ticketing;
• Microsoft Azure — website and application hosting and staff sign-in;
• The Movie Database (TMDB) — film information and images.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of ETPA, our visitors, or others.

How long we keep information

• Volunteer information — kept as long as needed to administer volunteer scheduling.
• Member and donor records — kept indefinitely for historical, archival, and organizational record-keeping purposes.
• Visit records — kept for about 90 days, then deleted.

Your choices and rights

You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any newsletter. To opt out of analytics and advertising cookies, use the "Your Privacy Choices" link at the bottom of any page (see Analytics, advertising, and your choices). You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you — just contact us using the details below and we'll help. Because we're a small non-profit, the simplest way to reach a real person is to call or email.

Children's privacy

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we'll remove it.

Other websites

Our site links to other websites (for example our ticketing provider, payment forms, and social media). We aren't responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; please review their policies.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the effective date at the top of the page.
