We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request.

Once you opt in or become a member (unless you opt out), we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about upcoming programs, events, and exhibitions of interest. We may also contact you about changes to this privacy policy.

Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Online Payment for Membership and Other Purchases
Online order forms require personal information from you. To purchase a membership, make a donation, buy tickets to a special event, or register for free events (as required), you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to complete your registration. If we have trouble processing an order, we will also use this information to contact you.

If you share our content through social media, for example by liking us on Facebook, following or tweeting about us on Twitter, or liking a photo in Instagram, those social networks will record that you have done so and may set a cookie for this purpose.

In some cases, where a page on our website includes content from a social network, such as a Twitter feed, or Facebook comments box, those services may set a cookie even where you do not click a button.  As is the case for all cookies, we cannot access those set by social networks, just as those social networks cannot access cookies we set ourselves.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.
