Last updated: July 30, 2018
Welcome to Museum Planner. We take privacy seriously, especially when it comes to data you provide to us.
Museum Planner (“us”, “we”, or “our”) respects the privacy of users of our website located at https://museumplanner.org (the “Site”).
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect the personal information of our users and how we handle and protect that information, and what Users can do to help protect that information.
By using the website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Collection and Use of Other Information
In addition, the website automatically collect certain anonymous information about you when you use the website. For example, the Site automatically gathers information that your browser sends whenever you visit our website. This information may include your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, information about how you navigate through and use the website, and other statistics.
We also collect information through the use of Cookies. Cookies are files with a small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site and transferred to your device. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. The Help feature on most browsers provides information on how to accept cookies, disable cookies or to notify you when receiving a new cookie. If you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some features of our website.
We also collect and use certain information that you provide when you use the website, such as when you comment on a blog post.
We aggregate anonymous information received from you and from other users to generate statistics and other information. We analyze this information to determine how users use our website and to find ways to improve the website. We may use third party services such as Google Analytics to help us collect, monitor and analyze this type of information.
User Postings
Except as otherwise expressly described in this Privacy Policy, this policy only addresses the use and disclosure of Personal Information and other information we collect from you. In the course of your use of the Services, you may elect to post or otherwise disclose information about yourself on certain features that we may make available to users now or in the future that enable users to communicate with the public at large or with a group, such as comment areas, message boards, news groups, forums, communities, personal web pages, calendars or other features. Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable web pages, that information will be publicly available and can be collected or used by others. Such postings may also appear on other websites or when searches are executed on the subject of your posting. Such activities are beyond the control of Museum Planning, LLC and this Privacy Policy. You should therefore exercise discretion when disclosing any Personal Information or other information when using the public websites.
Do Not Track Disclosure
Many browsers provide users with a Do Not Track (DNT) privacy preference. When DNT is activated by a user, the browser sends an automated DNT signal to website servers that inform those websites that the user does not want to be tracked.
Communications
We may use your Personal Information to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe link or instructions provided in any email we send.
Business Transaction
If Museum Planning, LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, your Personal Information may be transferred as a business asset.
Links to Other Sites
Our Services may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.
Legal Compliance
Although we make every effort to preserve your privacy, we may need to disclose or provide access to your Personal Information if we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with the law, such as in connection with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process.
How we handle payments
We use third party vendors for credit card transactions and billing when you register to use the Service. All credit card transactions are handled separately by such vendors through their servers. They do not share complete financial account information with Museum Planning, LLC.
International Users
Our Service is operated in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that information we collect, including Personal Data, will be transferred to, and processed, stored and used in the United States. The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your Personal Data may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to laws of the United States.
By using the Service or providing us with any information, you acknowledge that the processing, usage, sharing, controlling and storage of your information, including Personal Data, as set forth in this Policy and our Terms of Service will take place in the United States.
Children’s Privacy & COPPA
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”) imposes restrictions on commercial websites, including ours. It is our policy to be compliant with the requirements of COPPA and not to solicit or collect personally identifiable information from any child under age 13 (“Child”) without parent or guardian consent.
In fact, if you are under 18 years of age, you are not permitted to use the Service and should not send any information about yourself to us through the Service.
In the event that we become aware that we have collected personal information from any child, we will dispose of that information in accordance with COPPA and other applicable laws and regulations. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information without COPPA-required consent, please contact us by email at mark@museumplanning.com.
Security
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, and we strive to implement and maintain reasonable, commercially acceptable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information we store, in order to protect it from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. For example, all Personal Information that you provide to us on the Site is encrypted with secure server software to protect it from unauthorized access. We also have appropriate security measures in place within our database and physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that has been collected on the Site and the App. These measures include limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers, as well as electronic security systems and password protections which guard against unauthorized access.
However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and we are unable to guarantee the absolute security of the Personal Information we have collected from you. Please note that we cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to us, and you use our Service and provide us with your information at your own risk.
