The Maryland Symphony Orchestra respects the privacy of its patrons and is committed to safely managing any personal information under its care. The goal of the Privacy Policy is to ensure a reliable level of privacy for patrons and web site visitors while providing those services which best embody its mission of providing musical performances and programs that educate and entertain while enhancing the cultural environment of Western Maryland and the Quad-state region.

Types and Uses of Collected Data
The Maryland Symphony Orchestra collects two types of information from site visitors: general web site user information to track site performance, and any personal information voluntarily supplied by subscribers and single ticket buyers. While the MSO collects anonymous site traffic information, such as which pages of the site are visited, it does not use any tracking technology to surreptitiously track the user’s activities over the Internet. If you do provide personal information to the MSO, you can be assured that the information that you provide will not be sold or shared to any unaffiliated third-party without your knowledge or consent.

The MSO web site provides links to sites which may be of interest to our web site visitors. These sites have their own privacy policies and procedures; the MSO assumes no responsibility or liability for these sites.
