We also collect certain standard server-side data when you visit our website, including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, referring URLs, and similar server log information collected by our website hosting provider.

Embedded Third-Party Services

This website embeds content from the following third-party services. When you load a page containing these embeds, your browser connects directly to those services, which may collect data such as your IP address according to their own privacy policies.

  • Google Maps — used on our home page to show our venue location. Governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
  • Google Calendar — used on our calendar page to display upcoming events. Governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

Enrollment and Contact Forms

Student enrollment and other forms are handled through Google Forms and JotForm — third-party services operated by Google LLC and JotForm Inc., respectively. When you follow a link to one of these services and submit information, it is collected and stored by that service under its own privacy policy.

We use that information solely for enrollment, participation, and donation processing purposes.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share information with service providers who assist us in operating our website or conducting our activities, provided those parties agree to keep such information confidential. We may also disclose information when required by law or when necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of PCYO or its members.

Children's Privacy

Our organization serves youth musicians, and we are committed to protecting the privacy of minors. We collect information about students as part of enrollment and participation in our programs. Information about minors is only collected for legitimate organizational purposes and with the consent of a parent or guardian.

Data Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to third-party websites and services, including social media platforms, forms, and donation services. When you follow one of these links you leave our site, and the privacy practices of the destination site apply. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

You may opt out of receiving our email communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly. You may also request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, subject to applicable law.
