What information do you gather automatically from visitors?
We use your IP address (the series of numbers
associated with your individual computer) to help us maintain our site and
identify problems with our server. Your IP address does not disclose any
personally revealing information about you.
We do not use cookies (cookies are small
pieces of information that a website places on your computer's hard drive so we
know it's you when you visit) at the present time.
As our website continues to grow we may use them if we feel they
will enhance your visit to the Barnes Foundation website.
What information will you ask me to provide?
As of now, we do not gather any information about you when you visit our
gift shop. As our website continues to grow we hope to offer you a full
service on-line shop! At that point you will be
asked for some general information which will enable us to provide
you with this individualized service. We gather contact information (like your
email address, name, shipping address), financial information (like your credit
card number and expiry date). We will only use this information in the course
of providing our service to you. Should this entail sharing information with
professional advisors or consultants, the sharing will be limited to
demographic (non-identifying) information, for research purposes.
How will this information be used and who has access to it?
The information we gather will be used
solely to complete your transactions in our gift shop and reservation sections.
As our website continues
to grow, we may use your contact information to send you valuable updates and
timely notices of promotions. Our site will provide you with the opportunity to
easily refuse to receive different types of
communications from us.
In the event that you decide to order items
from our gift shop, you will be asked for your financial information (like
credit card number and expiry date), which is encrypted via a secure server and
sent to a third party intermediary for processing. This information is used to
bill you for those items you choose to purchase. Before entering your financial
information, you will be transferred to a secure server to ensure that your
transaction is secure. This ensures that your information is encrypted
and cannot be read by others when you initiate
your order. You will know you are in secure mode when the tiny padlock icon -
located at the bottom or top of your browser - appears "locked."
The information we
collect from you is for internal use only. We use it to
improve the content and functionality of our webserver, customize the
content or layout of our pages for each individual customer, notify customers
about updates to our website, or to contact customers for marketing purposes.
The specific information we collect is not shared with other organizations
without your explicit consent and is only ever disclosed in situations where
required by law. We will never release your personally identifiable information
to an external organization without your prior consent.
Can I change the information I have already given you?
You can change your purchase information by
calling the gift shop at (610) 667-0290, ext. 1880.
