Our Policy on collecting information on the MWPAI Website

Online purchases

When you order a product (donations, memberships, tickets, classes, tours, online store products) from the MWPAI website, we will ask you to provide us with the information we need to process your membership and/or to acknowledge your purchase/contribution. This information includes your name, billing and shipping address, telephone number, email address, and credit card information to process your order. Your credit card information will be sent to our third-party payment card processors and service providers to perform fraud detection and payment processing services. If your purchase is rejected by our website because it was detected as possible fraudulent use of a payment card, and you are in fact the authorized user of the card, you can contact us at orderservices@mwpaiI.org or call (315)797-0000 for the issue to be evaluated and resolved. We do not store credit card numbers. If you choose to have your payment information saved for future purchases, and/or for members who have selected automatic renewal, we will retain payment information using tokenization technology for enhanced security. We will retain your other personally identifiable information for our records, in order to facilitate better customer service and to inform you of our products and promotional offers. In certain cases, you may be asked for additional information to complete your request, such as the names and birth dates (month/year) of your children if obtaining a Family membership or any Contributing membership with children (see “Children 12 and under”).

Online surveys

From time to time, MWPAI may invite you to participate in surveys posted on the MWPAI website or sent to you by email. You may decide whether you wish to complete such surveys, which may ask about your background, occupation, or similar questions. We use this information to help us better understand our audience, which in turn allows us to better meet your needs and interests. Information collected in these surveys is never sold or rented to third parties for marketing purposes, but we may share it with outside vendors to analyze the information we collect (see “Use of third-party service providers” below).

Online contests

MWPAI will occasionally offer visitors the opportunity to participate in online contests or sweepstakes. If you choose to enter, you may need to provide your name and email address so that we may contact you in connection with the contest. We may also request that you provide us with certain other information, such as your zip code and state of residence.

Blogs

We welcome your participation on our blogs. Some blogs are hosted by third-party service providers, and your participation on these blogs is subject to the third-party providers' terms of use and privacy policies.

Children 12 and under

MWPAI does not solicit personal information from children. Visitors 12 years of age and under should remember that they are required to obtain an adult’s permission before submitting any personal information to this or any other website.

MWPAI newsletters

MWPAI offers visitors to the MWPAI website and users of MWPAI mobile guides (downloadable app, where you may also opt-in to receive push notifications, and the devices available to visitors at the Museum) the opportunity to subscribe to one or more of our newsletters or announcements, a service hosted by a third-party contractor that has agreed to use the email address you provide only to send our newsletters and announcements to you. If you opt-in via the subscription form found in the footer section of any page on the MWPAI website, you will receive MWPAI’s occasional notices and newsletters. If you opt-in via the subscription form in the footer section of the store.MWPAI website, you will receive those newsletters that match your chosen interests. You may subscribe or unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions on our newsletters.

Emailing MWPAI

If you send an email to MWPAI, your message and email address may be saved and we may send you emails in order to respond to your message. Any material, business information, ideas, concepts, or other information sent to MWPAI by email will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary. We will only use the information provided in your email and your email address to improve the MWPAI website, services, and products, and to fulfill or respond to your requests for products, services, or information.

Site usage information

As is the case with many websites, our servers automatically collect your IP address when you visit our website, and we may associate that with your domain name or that of your Internet access provider. We may also capture certain “clickstream data” pertaining to your website usage. Clickstream data includes, for example, information about your computer or device, Web browser and operating system and their settings, the referring page that linked you to the website, the pages or content you see or click on during your visit and when and for how long you do so, items you download, transactions you complete, and any search terms you have entered on the MWPAI website or a referral site.

Among other things, this information enables us to generate analytics reports on the usage of our website. We use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to do this. To opt-out of your MWPAI website usage being included in our Google Analytics reports, you may follow the instructions at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

In addition, we may deploy various tracking technologies on the website to collect additional information about your website visits. For example, The MWPAI website uses technologies such as “cookies” and “pixel tags” to improve the functioning of the site and your experience and to learn how visitors are using our website. Cookies are small data files that are automatically sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies enable us to remember what items are in your shopping cart and to personalize your experience. Pixel tags are tiny graphical images embedded in emails or web pages. Pixel tags are used to determine what parts of a website a visitor has viewed, or whether an email was successfully opened. These technologies are used to gather information to analyze traffic to the MWPAI website, to improve our content and navigation, to enhance our marketing efforts, to personalize your experience, and to provide online display advertising and/or offline communications tailored to your interests based on your online behavior. Google Analytics cookies expire 24 months after being set.

A Facebook pixel is code on the MWPAI website that helps us to track conversions from Facebook ads, to optimize ads based on data collected, to build targeted audiences for future ads, and to market to people who have already engaged with the MWPAI website, such as by making a purchase.

MWPAI also works with third-party analytics and marketing entities that use technologies such as cookies and pixel tags on our behalf. For details, see the Use of third-party service providers.

These tracking technologies may be deployed by us and/or by our service providers—such as Google Ad Manager, Facebook, and Instagram — on our behalf to collect or receive information from our website and elsewhere on the Internet, and to use that data to provide measurement service and target ads. These technologies enable us to assign a unique number or identifier to you and relate your website usage information to other data about you, including your personal information. These technologies also enable us to recognize you when you access our website using different Web browsers and different computers or devices. You can opt-out of the collection and use this information for ad targeting at aboutads.info or networkadvertising.org or youronlinechoices.eu.

Third-party ad servers and networks

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website and elsewhere online. These third-party ad-serving companies include Google Ad Manager, Facebook, Instagram. We may collect, use, and share personal data from and about you with these entities, to personalize and show ads to you and others on our website and elsewhere online, and to measure their impact. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites, the region of the country or world where your IP address indicates you are located, as well as other information about you in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. These companies may employ cookies, pixel tags, and other tracking technologies to cause relevant ads to be displayed to you. By using our website or transacting with us, you agree to this. We encourage you to read these businesses’ privacy policies to learn about how they treat your information; https://policies.google.com/privacy, https://www.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy, https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875. 

For more information about third-party advertisers and how to prevent them from using your information, visit the NAI’s consumer website at networkadvertising.org/choices/ or Aboutads.info at aboutads.info/choices/ or Your Online Choices at youronlinechoices.eu.

Social media

We maintain a presence on several social networking platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and we also incorporate some third-party social networking features onto our website. Through these platforms and features, we receive some personal information and some useful information about you, and this Privacy Policy applies to that information as well. In addition, these third-party social networking platforms have their own privacy policies, which explain how the third parties that provide them will use and protect your information. The information we receive from third parties may depend on the privacy settings you have on the third-party platform.

Do-not-track disclosures

Some Web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” (DNT) signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how Web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. We currently do not change our tracking practices (which are explained in more detail under “Site usage information” above) in response to DNT settings in your Web browser.

Our third-party partners, such as Web analytics companies and third-party ad networks, collect information about your online activities over time and across our website and other online properties. These third parties may not change their tracking practices in response to DNT settings in your Web browser, and we do not obligate these parties to honor DNT settings. We utilize Google Analytics for our Web analytics, and you can opt-out of your MWPAI website usage data being included in our Google Analytics reports by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Our policy on the use and disclosure of the information we collect on the MWPAI website and elsewhere

MWPAI uses the personal information you provide to us for internal purposes, such as completing and tracking your transactions, analyzing trends, and collecting statistics. MWPAI may also compile and provide aggregate statistics about our visitors, customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to third parties, but these statistics will not include any personally identifying information.

We may share the names and postal addresses we receive from members and donors with other nonprofit organizations. If you do not want to have your information used in this way, you may send an email message containing your name and postal address to membership@MWPAI.org. We may also share information about our members and donors with third-party vendors who help us analyze and understand our donor and membership base.

We may share personal information and transaction history of our customers, donors, and members with third-party data analytics firms that combine it with information received from other organizations and businesses and derive and report to us, and to other organizations and businesses, recommendations regarding marketing initiatives, such as information about individuals’ contact information and likelihood to purchase products or to support nonprofit causes by making donations and purchasing or upgrading memberships. If you do not want to have your information shared in this way, you may send an email message to donotshare@MWPAI.org containing your request to opt-out of this sharing, along with your name and email or postal address in your account with us, so that we can locate your account in our records and honor your request to opt-out. If, however, your information has already been shared by us in this manner, we may direct you to the relevant third-party data analytics firm to submit your opt-out request.

After you make a purchase on the MWPAI online store, we may share your name and postal address—but not your email address—with other organizations or companies whose products might be of interest to you. The policies of these organizations and companies may differ from ours. If you do not want to have your information used in this way, you may send an email message containing your name and postal address to donotshare@MWPAI.org. MWPAI may release account information when such release is reasonably necessary to comply with the law; enforce the terms of any of our user agreements; or protect the rights, property, and safety of MWPAI, the users of its site, or others.

If you have provided us with your email address, we may send you emails in order to alert you to information, events, activities, or programs at or related to MWPAI that we believe may be of interest to you, or to alert you about sales or other promotional events at the MWPAI online store. If you do not want us to use your email address to contact you for these purposes, you may send an email message containing your name and email address to privacy@MWPAI.org.

We may combine information you give to us online, offline, in our stores, at the Museum, or through our catalogs. We may also combine or supplement this information with publicly available information and additional information we receive from or have cross-referenced with our third-party vendors and others. We use this combined information to enhance and personalize your shopping experience with us; to communicate with you about products, exhibitions, or events that may be of interest to you; or for other promotional or Museum-related purposes.

Your California privacy rights

California’s “Shine the Light” law, Civil Code section 1798.83, requires certain businesses to respond to requests from California customers asking about the businesses’ practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for the third-parties’ direct marketing purposes. Alternately, such businesses may have in place a policy not to disclose personal information of customers to third parties for the third-parties’ direct marketing purposes if the customer has exercised an option to opt-out of such information-sharing. As discussed above, if you wish to opt-out of our sharing of your information with third parties for the third-parties’ direct marketing purposes, please contact us at donotshare@MWPAI.org.

Use of third-party service providers

From time to time, MWPAI retains qualified third-party service providers to help us manage the MWPAI website and allow us to better serve our visitors, customers, and others who contact us. These may include third-party contractors who assist us by processing registration and ticketing for the Museum and for certain events or courses. We also engage third-party vendors to analyze the information we collect on the MWPAI website and through other resources for marketing or similar purposes. We also use third-party service providers to process your payment transactions and detect possible fraudulent use of a payment card. These service providers receive the information you enter into our website, and information about your payment card, purchase, mobile device, computer, software and their location, for fraud detection purposes. By submitting your information to make a purchase, you agree to this. MWPAI requires its vendors to maintain the security of the information to which they are provided access and restricts the vendors from using the information in any way not expressly authorized by MWPAI.

We may contract with third parties who use cookies, clear gifs, device fingerprinting, and other online tracking technologies to collect information on our behalf. These parties are required to maintain the confidentiality of this information. If you would like to opt-out of this use of your information, you can change the preferences of your browser so that it does not accept cookies. We may contract with companies or others to provide certain services, including data management, promotional services, etc. We provide these service providers with the information they need to perform these services, but we restrict the vendors from using the information in any way not expressly authorized by MWPAI.

We also contract with third-party vendors who process applications for Museum employment or opportunities to participate in Museum-related activities. MWPAI requires its vendors to maintain the security of this information and restricts the vendors from using the information in any way not expressly authorized by MWPAI.

Linking

Please be aware that the MWPAI website may contain links to other sites operated by third parties over which we have no control. Once you leave the MWPAI website, the MWPAI Privacy Policy will not apply, and you access such sites at your own risk.

Different rules may apply to their collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information. We encourage you to review other websites’ policies before revealing any personally identifiable or sensitive information. MWPAI does not control, and is thus not responsible for, the content or privacy practices and policies of such other sites, and under no circumstances shall we have any liability whatsoever for the activities conducted by or at any website accessed from or through the MWPAI website.

Security

The MWPAI website uses various measures designed to secure information. However, there is no such thing as 100% security. If you prefer, you may also place an MWPAI order, membership gifts or class sign up by phone at (315) 797-0000. It is important for you to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to use a known and trusted secure connection and to log off when finished using a shared computer. You should be aware that there is always some risk involved in transmitting information over the Internet. There is also some risk that others could find a way to thwart our security systems. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security and privacy of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

Please be advised that when placing an online order through the MWPAI online store, your personal data will be protected in accordance with United States law, which may not require the same level of protection as is legally required in other countries, such as countries in the European Union.

Revisions to our privacy policy

Please note that MWPAI may revise its privacy policy at any time, without notice, such changes to be effective immediately upon posting on the MWPAI website. Such revisions may arise in response to changes in the law, policy, or other factors. We encourage you to periodically visit this page to review our most current policy. In some cases (for example, if we significantly expand our use or sharing of your personal information) we may also tell you about changes by additional means, such as by sending an email to the email address we have on file for you. In some cases, we may request your consent to the changes.
