Protect Music Valley respects the privacy of visitors to this website. This Privacy Policy describes the information that may be collected when you visit protectmusicvalley.org, the information you may choose to provide to us, and how that information is used.
Information You Provide
Protect Music Valley does not offer public user accounts and does not allow visitors to post comments.
Personal information (e.g., name, e-mail address) that you voluntarily provide through forms on this website is only collected and used, depending upon the purpose of the particular form, as described herein.
Contact Us
If you use our Contact Us form, we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
We use this information to receive, review, and respond to your communication and for purposes related to the activities of Protect Music Valley. Contact form submissions may be retained in our website’s form-entry records.
Community Advocacy Forms
From time to time, Protect Music Valley may provide forms that allow community members to express their views about issues and communicate those views to County officials, other government officials, agencies, or other designated recipients.
These forms may ask you to provide identifying and contact information such as your name, address, and email address, along with a prewritten or individually entered message.
By submitting one of these forms, you are asking Protect Music Valley to transmit the information contained in the form to the officials, agencies, or other recipients identified in connection with that form. Your name, address, email address, message, and other information included in the submission may therefore be provided to those recipients.
A copy of a submitted form may also be retained in our website’s form-entry records.
We use information submitted through these forms for the purposes described with the particular form, including delivering community comments to the intended recipients and maintaining records relating to Protect Music Valley’s community activities.
Newsletter Mailing List
Visitors may voluntarily subscribe to the Protect Music Valley mailing list to receive occasional newsletters, project updates, and other information from us.
Information provided when subscribing, including your email address and any other information requested by the subscription form, is maintained using Mailchimp, a third-party email communications service.
Protect Music Valley does not sell, rent, give, or otherwise disclose its mailing list to third parties for their own use. Mailchimp processes mailing-list information on our behalf as necessary to provide its email distribution and related services.
Mailchimp may provide us with information about the delivery and use of our newsletters, such as whether an email was delivered or opened or whether a link in an email was clicked. We may use this information to understand the effectiveness of our communications.
Subscribers may unsubscribe from the mailing list at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our email communications.
