SECURITY
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit personally identifiable information via the Website, we maintain a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information 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 closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or 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
CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY
We do not knowingly market to or solicit information from children under 13 without parental consent. We recognize that protecting children’s identities and privacy online is important and that the responsibility to do so rests with both the online industry and with parents.
Internet safety for children. The Internet is a public network. Children’s access to the Internet can allow them to visit inappropriate Web sites and be exposed to unwanted risks. COPPA, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, protects children under the age of 13 from the online collection of personal information. Learn more about COPPA on the Federal Trade Commission’s Web site. Parents can be proactive by installing filtering software that gives them more control over their family’s Internet experience.
Cyber ethics for children. Cyber ethics is the practice of being a good citizen on the Internet superhighway. Children should understand the rules of the road, too. Learn more by visiting the U.S. Department of Justice’s kids and youth Web site Children’s Online Privacy.
OUR ENTERPRISE PRIVACY POLICY FOR CONSUMERS
In addition to the protections you enjoy through our Online Policy, your online activities may also be covered by the MUSEUM’S Enterprise Privacy Policy (“Enterprise Privacy Policy”). The Enterprise Privacy Policy explains our collection, use, disclosure, retention and security of consumer information online and offline, and applies to MUSEUM’S products and services offered within the United States or worldwide for consumer (not business) purposes.
RETENTION OF INFORMATION
We retain all of the information we collect under this Online Privacy Policy for as long as there is a business need for it. In addition, we have a record retention policy that generally implements the broad range of regulatory requirements imposed on service providers for record keeping.
If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us at (313) 875-2264 or contactus@motownmuseum.org.
