Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2, 2026

El Sistema Texas operates elsistematexas.org. This policy explains information handling when you use our website, contact us, subscribe to updates or follow links to our online services.

Information you provide

When you submit an inquiry, join our mailing list, use the website chat or complete a program, volunteer or donation form, the information provided may include your name, email address, telephone number and the details you choose to share. Program forms may also ask for student and parent or guardian information. Review the fields and notices on each form before submitting it.

How information is used

Information submitted to us is used to respond to your request, communicate about the programs or activities you have asked about, administer registrations and donations, and provide updates you request. Please contact us if your contact details or communication preferences change.

Forms, payments and other providers

Some website features and links use third-party services, including online forms, our contact management and messaging platform, payment processors and YouTube videos. Information you enter in those services is also handled by the relevant provider. Review its privacy notice and any information displayed at the point of collection. Payment details should be entered only through the designated payment service, not by email or website chat.

Cookies and embedded content

Our website and embedded services may use cookies or similar technologies for site functionality, preferences and interaction with embedded content. Hosting and service providers may process technical information such as an IP address, browser details and pages accessed. Embedded videos and other third-party content can collect information as if you had visited the provider directly. You can manage cookies through your browser settings; restricting them may affect some features.

Children and families

Parents and legal guardians should complete inquiries and registrations involving a child. Please share only information relevant to the request. If you have a concern about information relating to a child, or believe information was submitted without appropriate authorization, contact us so we can review it.

Your choices and requests

You can use the unsubscribe option in our marketing emails or contact us to change your communication preferences. To ask about information we hold, request a correction or deletion, or ask about record retention, email info@elsistematexas.org. We may ask for information needed to verify that a request concerns your own records or a child you are authorized to represent. Some records may need to be retained for administrative, accounting, legal or security purposes.
