This privacy policy applies to all interactions with, transactions made, and data gathered on the Site. Please review this privacy policy periodically as we may update it from time to time. This privacy policy was last revised per the date listed below.

Cookies Like most websites, the Site uses cookies to keep track of your purchases and other activity on the Site and enhance your experience on the Site. We also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, to save your password, and if you choose, to save other information so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the Site.

Please note that nowhere on the Site do we knowingly collect personal information from directly children under the age of 13.
Information Other Web Sites Collect From You On the Site, we place links to other web sites operated by other parties.

Consequently, the operators of these other web sites may collect different kinds of information about you, and may use and disclose that information in different ways than we would if it were collected on the Site. We encourage you to review their privacy policies and remind you that we will not be responsible for their actions.
How We Use Personal Information We use your personal information to help us efficiently perform transactions on the Site, to deliver the services you have requested, to contact you when necessary in connection with events for which you purchased items and services on the Site (including event confirmations, changes and cancellations), and to send you information, offers and other promotional materials. We carefully select the information we send to you and attempt to send you offers that are of value to you, such as discounts, exclusive offers or special event information.
We do not share or sell email addresses gathered on the Site.
Transactions. To process transactions on the Site, we may share your personal information with our agents, representatives, contractors and service providers so they can provide us with support services such as authorization of credit card transactions, order fulfillment and sweepstakes and promotional fulfillment. We require these entities not to use your information for any other purpose.

Newsletter. By subscribing to our email newsletter (or electing to receive communications of any kind through the Site), you consent to us providing your email to our third-party email provider to facilitate the delivery of email. However, your email address will not be otherwise shared or sold.
Exceptions. Your personal information may be passed on to a third party in the unlikely event of a transfer of ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy, of CMC. We may also disclose specific information when we determine that such disclosure is necessary to comply with law, to cooperate with law enforcement or to protect the interests or safety of Cincinnati Museum Center or other visitors to the Site.
How We Use Financial Information We use your financial information to check your qualifications, to bill you for products and services and to enable you to participate in discount, rebate, and similar programs in which you may elect to participate. By making a purchase, or engaging in any other kind of activity that uses financial information, on the Site, you consent to our providing your financial information to our service providers and to such third parties as we determine is necessary to process your transactions, as well as to your credit card issuer for their purposes. These third parties include the credit card companies and banking institutions used to process the transaction.
How We Use Demographic Information We use demographic information to tailor the Site and communications to the interests of our users. We may share anonymous, aggregated (i.e. grouped) demographic information third parties (such as grant making organizations and foundations), so that they can tailor their advertisements and communications to the appropriate audience.
Our Security Precautions Strong precautions are taken to protect the information of the users of our Site. When users submit sensitive information via the Site, that Information is protected both online and off-line.
We take credit card information security seriously and use a variety of technical solutions to make shopping safe at our Site. The Site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Furthermore, your information is encrypted and is protected utilizing the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption software.

In addition, all of the information of our Site's users, including the sensitive information mentioned above, is maintained in locked, secure facilities, whether on CMCs premises or those of the server providers with which we contract.
Note, your information may be transferred to and maintained on computer networks which may be located outside of the state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction in which you reside, and the country or jurisdiction in which these computer networks are located may not have privacy laws as protective as the laws in your country or jurisdiction.
How You Can Access and Update Your Personal Information and other Account Information We give you the opportunity to modify information you have provided to us at anytime by logging into the system and navigating to your account and selecting those portions of your account you would like to update. Please note that changing or deleting your information through your account profile will only change or delete the data in our database for purposes of transacting future business on the Site and for managing future communications from Cincinnati Museum Center. These changes and deletions will not change or delete:
A) Information already collected as part of a particular purchase in our transactions database which may be shared with third parties involved in the processing of financial transactions, as discussed above; or
B) Information that we may have already forwarded to credit card companies or any other third parties, all as provided above in this privacy policy.
