We believe strongly in providing you notice of how we collect and use your data, including personally identifiable information (“PII” or “personal information”), collected from the Site. PII is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person.
We collect and store personal information and non-personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, as well as data related to your Site visit and usage.
We collect PII (including, but not limited to your name, address, phone number, email address, date of birth and billing information) that is voluntarily provided to us by you. For example, you voluntarily provide PII when making a donation, joining DMAC as a member, renewing your DMAC membership, signing up to receive DMAC E-NEWS, registering to participate in DMAC’s eMuseum My Collection feature, making an online purchase in DMAC Museum Shop, and registering for a DMAC event. We also collect credit card and other payment information when you voluntarily provide it on the Site, however we do not store this information in full; instead, we utilize credit card tokenization to maintain the ability to reference the credit card information for later use.
“Cookies” are simple text files stored on your computer for use by a browser. DMAC and our partners may use cookies. Certain Site features may only be available through the placement of a cookie, such as the use of cookies to assist in data collection and to track visitor Site usage and trends to help us better serve you. The use of cookies is a standard practice among Internet web sites; if you want to disable cookies and you’re using a web browser, check with your provider to find out how to disable cookies. Please note that certain features of the Site may not be available once cookies are disabled.
DMAC uses collected information for internal purposes to make available and to improve our high standard of reliable services. We may use such information to respond to inquiries or service requests and monitor such responses; provide information about and market DMAC products or services, resolve technical problems and manage the Site and assess its usage and calculate overall usage statistics. DMAC may occasionally use non-PII and information in aggregated form to provide statistical “ratings” to its partners and affiliates about how DMAC’s users collectively use the Site. DMAC may share automatically collected and other aggregate non-PII with interested third parties to assist them in understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services, promotions and/or functionality of the Site.
DMAC collects PII from its users in limited situations as set forth herein. Unless otherwise indicated, DMAC will only disclose personally identifiable information to third parties when required by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the etiquettes of law or comply with a legal process served on this Site. Unless otherwise stated herein, DMAC and its affiliates will not rent, sell or give your personally identifiable information to any outside party without your prior permission. DMAC may now or in the future use personally identifiable information submitted by users to contact users to provide information on internal promotions of DMAC, general DMAC information, contests and surveys of DMAC.
To make the Site more useful to users, we may offer some features in conjunction with third party providers that specialize in operating such services. For example, we may forward your financial information to a third party for services such as credit card processing. Likewise, personally identifiable information may be shared with website maintenance and security professionals for purposes of sending promotional, fundraising and membership related communications. Third party internet sites and services accessible through the Site have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent from these Site Terms. DMAC assumes no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions.
You may “opt out” of having your PII used or shared for purposes of receiving product offers via e-mail or postal mail, and from receiving product offers directly from us via e-mail or postal mail, by providing us written notice identifying which communications you choose not to receive by emailing us at aday@desmoinesartcenter.org.
If you choose not to give us your personal information at all, you can still access the Site; however, you will not be able to access areas that require registration or personal information.
We implement security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. While we take reasonable measure to ensure that other entities who provide us with website hosting and payment processing services keep your information confidential and secure, such entities’ practices are ultimately beyond our control. By using our Site, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.
Users of certain Site features, such as DMAC’s eMuseum My Collection feature and online Museum Shop, will be asked to provide their contact information, which will be used to create a user account. The user account will be protected by a password of user’s choosing. You are responsible for taking all reasonable steps to ensure that no unauthorized person shall have access to your Site password or account. You are responsible for: (1) controlling dissemination and use of your username, member ID and/or password; (2) authorizing, monitoring and controlling access to and use of your Site username, member ID and/or password; and (3) promptly informing DMAC of any need to deactivate a password.
From time-to-time, DMAC may invite users to participate in surveys posted on the Site or sent to users via email. Users may decide whether or not they wish to complete such surveys. Such surveys may ask for information on users’ background, occupation or similar questions. DMAC uses this information to help it better understand its users’ needs and interests, which in turn allows it to better meet users’ expectations. Users may decide whether or not they want to answer survey questions. No PII from the surveys is disclosed to third parties. DMAC does compile the de-identified and anonymized survey question results and may publish them or share with other third parties.
The Site may contain links to third party web sites and may redirect you to third party web sites (“Third Party Sites”). Please be aware that when you enter a third party web site, any information you provide, including financial information, is subject to the terms of use and privacy policy of that site. DMAC does not recommend and does not endorse the content on any third party web site and is not responsible for the content of linked third party sites, sites framed within the Site and, third party sites provided as search results or third party advertisements, and does not make any representations regarding their content or accuracy. Your use of third party web sites is at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of use for such sites.
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. You should be aware that the Site is not intended or designed to attract or be used by children under the age of 13.
