Fun Times Singers - Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy of the Fun Times Singers Website

The Fun Times Singers is a community chorus with no commercial objectives other than sustaining the operations of the chorus through concert and membership fundraising activities. To that end, very little data of a private nature is collected or maintained as part of chorus operations. Specifically, no data regarding your financial affiliations (bank accounts, credit cards, etc.) is ever solicited, collected, or saved on the website.

The following describes any private information collected by the website and how the information is used. In no case is any of the following information shared with a third party (commercial or otherwise) without the permission of the members involved.

Member Personal Information — The typical contact information (name, address, phone number, email address) is maintained to facitilate contacting our active and inactive chorus members and others with guest accounts. This information is available to other website members who have validated their association with our chorus by signing in to the website with a valid user account and password. Public visitors (i.e. page requestors who have not signed in) do not have access to the personal contact information.
Visitor Contact Information — Information collected as part of contacting the Fun Times Singers functionaries (on the Contact Us page for example) is used for just that purpose (i.e. responding to the visitor's comments or request for information). The contact information is not shared or used for other purposes and is not maintained any longer than is necessary to conclude the business at hand.
Individual Photographs — Individual photos (mug shots) are collected for use by registered website members to associate names with faces to facilitate social bonding. These photographs are not shared with website visitors who are not validated members.
Group Photographs — Group photographs taken at the concert on a regular basis are available to any visitor of the website even if not signed-in.
Activity Photographs — Photographs of chorus activities may appear on the website from time to time, usually without any indication of the identity of any individuals in the picture. Any person who is part of an activity photograph on the Fun Times Singers website may request that their likeness not be shown by contacting the webmaster (see the Contact Us page). The individual's likeness will be removed from the photo gallery either by removing the entire photograph or by obscuring the likeness through photo editing.
Email Announcements — Personal contact information may be used on a periodic, but not frequent basis, to send announcements regarding upcoming concerts, organizational news, or information regarding the use of the website. Any inactive member or guest member of the website may opt out of these broadcast emails by sending a request to the webmaster using our Contact Us page or by sending an email to unsubscribe@FunTimesSingers.org. Active members are discouraged from requesting to be excluded from the broadcast emails because of the potential for missing timely chorus announcements, but requests for opting out will be considered for special circumstances.
Feature Usage — Logs indicating the usage of the features of the website are kept for a short time (a few days) for use by the webmaster when assisting members who are having difficulties using the website. This information is available to the webmaster only.
Music Practice History — A log of the use of the various musical practice tools is maintained for longer periods (typically a week or so) and is accessible by a limited number of website administrative personnel (including the musical director) to evaluate trends in chorus participation.
Registration History — A log of changes to the membership roll is maintained to provide a history of individual member participation in the Fun Times Singers sessions over the years. This log may be made available to other registered users of the website for informational purposes.
Page Access Logs — Logs recording page accesses (typical of almost all websites) are used to produce aggregate data regarding traffic and access errors for the website and are used strictly for keeping the website functioning properly. These are shared only in aggregate form which does not identify individual users.

Fun Times Singers reserves the right to change these policies at any time, however, users of the website will be notified of any changes more significant than formatting or typographical error corrections.
