To better understand the needs of our website and mobile application users, we may also request information on users from time to time on a voluntary basis. Such information gathered and provided to any third party does not contain any information that identifies the user, but contains generalized, aggregate data or so called "demographic information."

We do not use or share information transferred through cookies with third parties for marketing or other purposes. Although most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can change the configuration of your browser to prevent this from occurring. Of course, we recommend that you leave cookies "turned on" so that we can offer you more personalized service.

If we decide to change our Privacy Statement, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the Privacy Statement under which the information was collected.

If, however, we are going to use users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our websites notifying users of the change. In some cases when we post a notice, users who have opted to receive communications from us may receive a notice alerting users to such changes.

IX. EU GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (“GDPR”)

X. LAWFUL GROUNDS TO PROCESS AND OBTAIN CONSENT

Data Subjects whose personal information is collected in the EEA may withdraw consent at any time where consent is the lawful basis for processing their information. Should a Data Subject withdraw consent for processing or otherwise object to processing that impedes The SBMA’s ability to comply with applicable regulations that Data Subject may be unable to enjoy the services in which the SBMA provides.

  • contact a supervisory authority in the EEA to lodge a complaint regarding the SBMA’s processing of your personal information.

When handling a data access or correction request, we check the identity of the requesting party to ensure that he or she is the person legally entitled to make such request. Such requests are provided free of charge however a reasonable fee may be applied charged to cover our administrative costs incurred for requests that are manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive.

XII. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

The SBMA does not engage in automated decision-making activities.

XIII. NON-DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

The SBMA does not share any personal information with any nonaffiliated third parties, except in the following circumstances:

  • as necessary to provide the service that the customer has requested or authorized, or to maintain and service the customer’s account;

  • as required by regulatory authorities or law enforcement officials who have jurisdiction over the SBMA and its affiliates or as otherwise required by any applicable law; and

  • to the extent reasonably necessary to prevent fraud and unauthorized transactions.

Employees of the SBMA are prohibited, either during or after termination of their employment, from disclosing personal information to any person or entity outside of the SBMA, including family members, except under the circumstances described above.

The South Bay Music Association and El Segundo Concert Band embraces and is committed to diversity and inclusion within our staff, musicians, guest artists, audiences, and surrounding communities. The Association does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, religious creed (including religious dress and religious grooming), sex (including pregnancy, perceived pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, age, physical or mental disability, legally protected medical condition or information, genetic information, marital status, gender, gender identity, gender expression, military status, veteran status, or any other basis protected by federal, state, or local law.

Sexual Harassment

SBMA condemns all forms of discrimination and harassment. Because of this, we have taken a leading role in encouraging our employers to create and maintain a workplace free from sexual harassment and discrimination. We are committed to holding our employers responsible for ensuring that all our members have a safe and secure environment in which to work, rehearse, and perform.

DEFINING SEXUAL HARASSMENT

Sexual harassment appears in many forms. It includes unwelcome sexual advances and other unwelcome verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, and it interferes with an individual’s ability to perform their work. It can come in the form of “quid pro quo” harassment, where a person’s submission to or rejection of sexually harassing conduct is used as the basis for an employment decision – for example, an artistic director asking that an artist engages in sexual activity in exchange for better casting. Sexual harassment more commonly appears as sexually explicit jokes, unwanted comments or questions about a person’s body or sex life, and unwanted touching or hugging, leering or sexual gestures. Sexual harassment not only affects the target of harassment but also witnesses to harassing behavior, and it should not be tolerated in any workplace.

REPORTING MECHANISMS

If you believe that you have been subject to or have witnessed sexual harassment in your workplace, we strongly encourage you to come forward so that SBMA can work to resolve this issue on your behalf. You can report harassment in the following ways – depending on what is most comfortable for you:

  • Speak to your direct report.

  • Contact your SBMA Board of Directors.

  • Use the confidential reporting tool described below.

SBMA has provided a confidential reporting tool to receive reports of sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination. We encourage members to report any allegation of discrimination, abuse or harassment in the workplace or in work-related activities. The advantage of using this reporting mechanism is that it allows SBMA to uncover patterns of misconduct at particular companies. And, although we ask members to provide their names in the report, SBMA will keep this information confidential to the fullest extent possible.

If you wish to file a report of discrimination, abuse, or harassment using this reporting system, please send an email to inquires@sbmusic.org. Please try to include as much of the following information as possible:

  • Name and position of the person making the report;

  • Name of the employer, person/position of individual accused of misconduct;

  • Working relationship of the member to the accused;

  • Name, position and contact information of any witnesses to the misconduct; and

  • Description of the misconduct.

If you do not feel comfortable providing some of the information listed above, at a minimum you must provide your contact information so that a SBMA representative can reach out to

All SBMA Staff and Representatives receive training on the legal and contractual prohibitions against sexual harassment. We rely upon our members coming forward to report harassment and discrimination so that SBMA is in the best position to help tackle these issues in your workplace.
