Privacy Notice
Opportunitix takes your personal privacy interests seriously. This Privacy Notice explains how Opportunitix collects, uses, shares and otherwise processes personally identifiable information obtained through our website, donor forms, registration forms, social media pages and other sources. We recognize that information privacy is an ongoing responsibility, and may, from time to time, update this Privacy Notice. Please visit this page periodically to remain up to date on the information we gather and how we use that information.
How we collect information
The phrases “personally identifiable information” or “personal information” include any information by which you can be identified, such as your name, address, telephone number and billing information. You can visit many of our web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. While you are logged into your Opportunitix account as a donor, or after you have made a donation, or after you have submitted an application to become a beneficiary of the Opportunitix programs, you are not anonymous to our organization.
If we do collect personal information, we typically use it for the purpose of enabling us to contact you directly (for sending thank yous, receipts, donor information, updates, emails or newsletter) or to provide you with services. We may receive information about you in the following ways:
- When you register on our website as a donor or a beneficiary
- When you sign up for Opportunitix newsletters
- When you donate tickets on the opp-tix.org website
- When you make a contribution or donation
- When you provide contact information at Opportunitix sponsored events
- Occasionally we may obtain lists from other arts and cultural institutions of people who have allowed their data to be shared with similar organizations
Like most websites, our site uses cookies. A cookie is a small data file sent to your browser and stored on your computer. Cookies are used on our site to facilitate the ordering process and aid in analysis of site usage and can be used by other websites to present advertising which may be of interest to you based on your behavior on our site.
We do not use cookies or action tags to collect or transfer personal information. If you have concerns about the use of these methods you should adjust your browser settings to restrict or block cookies. Note that blocking all cookies will prevent proper operation of many websites, and will mean that you cannot use all the features of Opportunitix’s site.
Opportunitix also uses “Remarketing” and other features of Google Analytics. These features do not use personally identifiable information, but do collect information about your computer. This allows us to analyze data about visits to our site, and is another tool used by other websites to present advertising which may be of interest to you based on your behavior on our site.

How we use your information

Opportunitix will not sell your contact information to anyone. Occasionally we may exchange or rent direct mail lists with other non-profit arts and cultural institutions so that our patrons can see a diverse set of experiences – these lists are used for mail only. Opportunitix may send your contact information to other companies when:
- We need to share your information to provide opportunities
- We need to send the information to companies who work on behalf of Opportunitix to provide our service to you.
These companies provide services to us such as processing our email or executing telephone outreach, providing marketing services, providing hosting for streaming media content and the back-up of our data. Unless we tell you otherwise, these companies do not have any right to use the information we provide to them beyond what is necessary to assist us in providing our service to you. Some providers, including Stripe, have their own policies. Opportunitix is not liable for misuse of personal information by any such third party service providers.
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a court order or judicial process served on us.
Opportunitix may also track domain names, IP addresses, browser types, resolution, etc. from people who visit our site. We use this information to track aggregate traffic patterns throughout the Site. Such information is not correlated with any personal information.
