About
Festival Napa Valley (“FNV”) places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This privacy policy was created in order to demonstrate FNV’s firm commitment to the privacy of our members and website users. It explains what types of information are collected by throughFNV’s website, festivalnapavalley.org (the “Site”), and how this information is used. It applies to all information received by FNV or through the Site, both online and offline, on any platform, as well as any electronic, written, or oral communications.
Individuals and organizations that sign up to receive FNV e-communications voluntarily provide FNV with contact information (such as name and e-mail address). We may use this information for specific, limited purposes. You may always "opt out," either now or at any time in the future, if you do not wish to receive our messages.
If individuals and organizations make donations to FNV or provide personal information to FNV via the mail, phone or other off-line methods, information collected will include that required to process membership or donor transactions, yet is normally limited to name, phone, email, mailing address, and payment information.
If individuals and organizations purchase tickets to FNV events and performances, we will collect the information required to process payment and/or fulfill these purchases. This could include address information, email, phone, name, guests’ names, and guest dining preferences.
From time to time, FNV may also ask users to provide other optional information. If a user chooses to provide such information, the user is giving FNV the permission to use and store this information consistent with this privacy policy.
FNV may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer the Site, and for statistical metrics used to track visitor traffic.
The Site uses "cookie" data to automatically help provide better services. This data reminds us who you are and of your preferences for the Site based on what you've done and told us before. The "cookie" is placed in your computer and is read when you come back to the Site. Cookies let us take you to the information and features you're particularly interested in. They also let us track your usage of the Site, so we know which parts of our sites are most popular. You can reject cookies or disable them by instructing your Web browser accordingly, but this may impact your ability to interact with the Site.
We use your personal information to provide you with personalized service; to send e-mail alerts or communications to you; to answer your requests; to process your membership application; etc. You may choose to opt out from our email list at any time, which will cease all electronic e-newsletter communications from us (but individual, direct emails can continue). The e-mails we send to you may contain code, which allows FNV to track usage of the e-mail, including whether the e-mail was opened and/or what links (if any) were clicked. We may also use your information to track visitors of our website. This lets us see which of our features are the most popular so we can better serve our users' needs. It also lets us provide aggregate data about our traffic (not identifying you personally, but showing how many visitors used which features, for example) to outside parties.
