Privacy Policy
At the NYU Straus Music Institute, we value your privacy and are committed to safeguarding your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website (https://nyustraus.org). By using our website, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form. Additionally, we collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data; it only indicates the post ID of the article you just edited and expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or other articles. Embedded content from external websites behaves exactly the same as if you had visited those websites directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with that embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction with embedded content if you have an account and are logged into the external website.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments, instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. This file will include any data you’ve provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the revised version will be effective from the date stated at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
