You can withdraw your consent by contacting us by email at communityartscommission@gmail.com or through our online contact form.

Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a "Do-Not-Track" ("DNT") feature or setting that you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored or collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your preference for your online browsing data to not to be monitored or collected. If a legally required standard for online tracking is adopted in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.
California law requires us disclose how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there is not currently an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website. If we make material changes to this policy, we will post revisions here, so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.
