The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum ("Museum") is committed to protecting the personal information that you provide to us when using our website. The Museum does not collect personal information about visitors to our website unless you choose to provide it to us. This privacy policy describes how we handle all user information collected during your visit. Occasionally, changes in the technology, functionality, or content we provide on our website may require us to revise this policy. We encourage our visitors to return to this page periodically to learn about any changes we may have made. We collect two types of information about our website visitors: 1) anonymous information that is automatically collected from all visitors to our site, and 2) personally identifiable information that you knowingly and voluntarily submit to us ("personal information"). If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the website, read pages, or download information, we will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically.
We use this information to help us make our site more useful to visitors - to learn about the number of visitors to our site and the types of technology our visitors use. This information does not identify you personally. The Museum only collects personal information that you voluntarily provide to us. Personal information we may collect includes your name, postal address, e-mail address, preferences for types of information, or the name, address or e-mail address of a friend to whom you wish us to send information or a gift. A specific type of personal information that may be collected is financial information, https://t.antj.link/192379/9481/0?bo=2753 as further described below. If you decide to give us personal information for a particular purpose, we may contact you about other Museum programs or opportunities to support Museum programs. For example, if you do one of the activities on our website, such as post a comment, you may be given the option to subscribe to our e-newsletters or to donate funds in support of Museum programs.

You will always have an immediate opportunity to decline further communication. If you make a tribute gift, the Museum may provide your name and postal address to the family of the person who was honored by your gift. If you wish that your name or address not be shared for this purpose, please contact our Membership Division at the telephone number or email address given below. Donors who have provided the Museum with an e-mail address or whose postal address is matched to an e-mail address will receive Museum’s general news e-newsletter. If you wish to decline the e-communication benefits, please follow one of the opt-out procedures described below. Our website has pages on which members of the public are invited to comment or sex provide feedback, such as message boards. Any information (comments, photos, sounds) posted on these pages becomes public information. Please exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal information. Some of the Museum’s online programs and applications may offer educational content of interest to children under the age of 13, and the Museum may occasionally receive personally identifiable information from a child in order to respond to a one-time request or communication.
We do not use the information for any other purpose and will delete the information as soon as practical. For example, a child may use his or her e-mail address to send us a photograph for a Museum web page for students. We will use the e-mail address to send the child confirmation that we have received the photo and we will then delete the e-mail address. The Museum may occasionally provide an online interactive program for children under the age of 13 and collect personal information from these children to enable their ongoing participation in the program. To register for such programs, a child under the age of 13 may have to provide an e-mail address that we will store and use only for true love the purposes of the program. The child will also have to complete a "parent’s or teacher’s e-mail approval" box so that the Museum may notify the adult of the registration and the Museum’s privacy policy.
That e-mail will also allow the adult to consent to the Museum’s collection and use of the child’s personal information for the program, or to request that the child’s registration be revoked and personal information deleted. If the Museum becomes aware that a child has posted personally identifiable information on any of our web pages, we will delete the information as soon as practical. Financial information is personally identifiable information you submit that may include the amount of a gift or payment, preferred payment method, a credit card number, debit tracking number, or other information required to complete a financial transaction. The Museum will not disclose financial information except as necessary to fulfill the donation or order request. We collect financial information in a secure manner and discard such information after processing is complete. We employ error-checking procedures to make certain transactions are processed in an accurate, complete, and timely manner.
