Our policy is to maintain the privacy of personal information and not to use or disclose it except as provided in this Privacy Policy.  For example, you may use this site to send us your questions or comments.  When you send us a question by e-mail, we will use your return e-mail address to respond to your question.  We will not use your return e-mail address for purposes other than as described in the following paragraph, and we will not share your return e-mail address with others except as provided in this Privacy Policy.

Users who provide us with postal addresses may receive periodic mailings from us about items that may be of interest to them.  Users who provide us with e-mail addresses may receive regular e-mail messages from us providing information about topics that may be of interest to them.

This site may display online advertisements, and we may share with advertisers the aggregated (collective) anonymous information we collect through this site.  In some instances, we may use such information to deliver tailored advertisements.  For example, if an advertiser describes to us an audience it wants to reach and provides us with an advertisement tailored to that audience, we may display the advertisement to the intended audience based upon the aggregated, anonymous information we have collected.  We do not share personal information with advertisers.

Voluntary Surveys

We may periodically conduct user surveys. We encourage our users to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve the types of products and services we offer and how we provide them.  The personal information you provide in response to a voluntary survey will remain confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a third party that we hire.  Participation in any of our user surveys is voluntary.

We take the information we receive from individuals responding to user surveys and aggregate (combine) it with the responses of other the Museum, education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our products and services, and to develop new products and services.

"Cookies" and How We May Use Them

A “cookie” is a small data file that can be placed on your hard drive when you visit a website.  We may use cookies to collect, store, and sometimes track information for statistical purposes to improve the products and services we offer.  If you are a registered user, we may use a cookie to save your settings and to provide customized access.  We may use cookies to store user preferences, to record session information, to record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, to record past activity at a site to provide better service when users return to our site, to ensure that users are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads, to customize site content based on users’ browser type or other information that the user sends.  These cookies do not enable third parties to access personal information, unless they have access to your hard drive.

Data Security

This site has electronic security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.  While we will use reasonable efforts to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally obtaining this information.  Security measures are also in place at the physical facilities where our servers are located to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of information that we have collected from you.

When we receive or transfer certain types of sensitive information, such as financial information, we will use secure servers for the payment system.  We do not encrypt unsolicited e-mail, however, so you should avoid including personal information in any unsolicited e-mail that you send to us.
