Privacy Policy
Last Updated May 15, 2013
The Information We
Collect
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected by
Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh,
including but not limited to mail, telephone, email, online transactions, and
onsite visits at our museums.
Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh will only collect personal
information which you knowingly and voluntarily provide by, for example,
completing membership forms, sending emails, registering for events or other
programs, or responding to surveys. As a Member of Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, you agree,
without limitation or qualification, to be bound by this Privacy Policy.
The personal information that you supply will
allow us to appropriately respond to your requests and to provide a variety of
services at Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh.
Personal information may include name, mailing address, telephone number, email
address, and other personal contact information. Personal information
regarding your interests will allow us to provide materials to meet your
specific needs. Museum personnel may, for example, use the personal
information to customize offers and target communications through mail and
email.
Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh or its designees may, from time to
time, compile statistics on visitors to our museums and to our websites and/or
work with others compiling statistics or performing other quantitative analysis.
In these situations, the information that you provide may be used to aggregate
statistical information to analyze visitor interest or other aspects of
non-profit organization-related activities. The information aggregated
will not include any personal information as it relates to a single visitor.
If you make a purchase on-site, over the phone,
through the mail, or on-line from Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, we will ask you to provide only
the information necessary to process your order. For reasons of security,
Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh
does not store credit card information permanently on any Web server.
Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh is the sole owner of information
you voluntarily submit to us. If at any time it becomes reasonably
necessary, Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh will release the personal information
that you have provided to comply with a court order, or protect the rights,
property or safety of Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, its personnel, the users
of its sites, or others.
Opting Out
Under
certain circumstances, we share mailing information collected, i.e. during
registration processes online, over the phone, or in-person at the museums, with
reputable organizations that are not related to Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. If at any time
you do not wish to allow us to share your mailing information with other
organizations, you can call the Membership Office at 412.622.3314 or email membership@carnegiemuseums.org.
By choosing to “opt out”, the mailing information that you provide will not be
shared or used outside of Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh.
Information Security
Online information provided to Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh is transmitted
using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a proven coding system
that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send
it to us. We also protect account information by placing it on a secure portion
of our site that is only accessible by certain qualified employees of Carnegie
Museums of Pittsburgh.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
While we strive to protect your information as much as possible, we cannot
ensure or warrant the security of that information.
Information collected via mail and telephone is stored in a
PCI-compliant secure database that is only accessible by certain qualified
employees of Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh.
Information Collected
Automatically
Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh
may automatically collect information relating to visitors when they access our
websites. This information may include information on how you use our
sites, what pages you have visited, or any errors that occurred while you were
visiting our sites. This information may be used by Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh to help us in
developing content and improving our sites to create the best experience for
our visitors. In addition to information collected automatically, we may
also utilize cookies, i.e. small files sent to your browser by our website when
you visit. Cookies can be used to track usage patterns, trends and
visitor behavior, as well as to record other information regarding your
visit. For example, when you register on one of our websites, cookies
allow us to save information so that you will not have to re-enter the same
information the next time that you visit. Information that we collect
from cookies will only be used in aggregate form.
Information From
Children
Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh
does not solicit personal information from children under the age of 12.
We are concerned about protecting children’s privacy and safety and will never
intentionally ask a child 12 years old or younger to provide us with any
personal information. It is our intention to discourage children 12 years
old or younger from providing any personal information. Parents and
guardians are asked to instruct their children not to provide any personal
information in any requests they send to Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. In the event that such
information is sent to Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, we will merely respond to the
request, and we will not attempt to create a profile or otherwise retain the
child’s information.
Changes To Privacy
Policy
This
Privacy Policy may change from time to time. Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh reserves the
right to change it without notice
