The James Committee has created this privacy notice to explain how we use information that you may provide while visiting our website and to demonstrate our firm commitment to Internet privacy. The James Committee may modify this policy from time to time.

How We Use Your Information

The James Committee is committed to protecting your privacy online. When you register, contribute, sign up to volunteer, sign up to receive updates or SMS alerts, or take any other action on our site, we may ask you to give us contact information, including your name, address, telephone number, and/or email address. We may obtain information about you from outside sources and add it to or combine it with the information we collect through this site. We use this information to operate this site, send you news and information about the James Committee & to solicit your participation in the James Committee programs, events, and activities, and obtain and confirm RSVP’s to events and programs. We may use your email address to send such information by email and may use your telephone number to call you for these purposes.

We will never provide your email address or any of your personal information to any other person or organization, for any purpose. If you decide to purchase tickets to an event or to make a contribution online, we may also ask for your credit card number and its expiration date. That information is used solely for processing your contribution; our organization does not maintain it, and it is never disclosed to anyone for any other purpose other than for processing your contribution, under any circumstances.

How We Protect Information You Provide

The James Committee uses industry-standard security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of the information under our control. Permission to access your information is granted only to you and the James Committee employees or contractors who need to know that information to provide services to you. Although we make good faith efforts to store information collected by this website in a secure operating environment, we cannot guarantee complete security.

Other Disclosure of Your Information

Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when we have a good-faith belief that release is appropriate to comply with the law (for example, a lawful subpoena), to protect our rights or property, or to protect our donors, artists and supporters from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful conduct, or if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications or justifies disclosure of records without delay.
