We here at the BBT take your privacy seriously! We have developed our privacy policy according to the guidelines published by TRUSTe, an independent, non-profit privacy initiative dedicated to building users' trust and confidence on the Internet.

What Information We Collect, and Why
We maintain a mailing list of customers who have visited our theatre and added an entry to our Lobby Visitors Log; called us on the telephone to make reservations; visited our web site and signed up for email notification; or purchased items in our online Lobby Shop. We record information only as needed; the name, address, business or home phone number, email address, and, if we have a birthday party for one of your children, we remember his or her birthday. We do not record credit card information. Our marketing associates, such as Amazon.com, have privacy policies of their own regarding the collection of credit card information, so please refer to the Amazon.com Privacy Notice. The link is at the bottom of the page.

We use our customer mailing list to periodically mail a fall and spring season flyer to all the addresses on the list. We also email an electronic copy of the flyer to those that have requested it. We validate all addresses on the list according to US Postal Service guidlines using Mailnet Services, Inc.

We don't share information about any specific person or family on our customer list with anyone. We do report aggregate demographic attendance statistics to local and state cultural councils for the purposes of qualifying for programs to boost attendance such as the PASS program offered by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and we also report web viewing statistics to our advertisers.

If you ask us not to send you a flyer or email, we'll take you off our mailing list immediately. If you become aware of inaccurate information such as a misspelled name on your mailing label, please email michael@basictheatre.org and it will be corrected immediately. We transcribe our lobby visitor sign-up book, and sometimes the handwriting is hard to read.

All customer information is kept on a private and secure office computer not connected to a web server of any kind. We instruct our employees about our security policies and practices and monitor their compliance. Access to data is strictly limited by password protection. We review our web security on an annual basis. If there is a change in our privacy policy and practices, we will notify our customers via email, and with a link prominently displayed on our home page.

Our web site basictheatre.org does not use cookies. We do not automatically log information such as IP addresses, ISPs, and browser type or link such information to personally identifiable information.
