Website usage information

SIDZ automatically collects certain information to help us operate and provide the SIDZ website to you. As is the case with many websites, our servers automatically collect your IP address when you visit our website, and we may associate that with your domain name or that of your Internet access provider. We may also capture certain “clickstream data” pertaining to your website usage. Clickstream data includes, for example, information about your computer or device, Web browser and operating system and their settings, the referring page that linked you to the website, the pages or content you see or click on during your visit and when and for how long you do so, items you download, transactions you complete, and any search terms you have entered on the SIDZ website or a referral site.

Among other things, this information enables us to generate analytics reports on the usage of our website. We use Google Analytics to do this.

How Personal Information is Used


SIDZ is committed to protecting the privacy of its website visitors. If you provide us personal information we will use this information to respond to your inquiry or request, or to fulfill your order, or to resolve any issues related to your website visit or online exhibition attendance. We may also use it to contact you to provide information about other SIDZ activities, programs and fundraising opportunities, products and special events that may interest you. We may combine information you give to us online, offline or at SIDZ events. We may also combine or supplement this information with publicly available information and additional information we receive from or have cross-referenced with our third-party vendors and others. SIDZ will never sell your personal information.

With Whom Personal Information is Shared

SIDZ does not share your personal information with other organizations, such as other non-profits or museums. However, SIDZ may engage third-party vendors in order to help us manage the website, process online and offline transactions, better respond to the needs of our visitors, and enhance our marketing efforts, which may require the sharing of some of your personal information. We and our third-party vendors or partners may use analytics data for a variety of purposes such as to improve the design and content of our website, to help us learn things like what pages are most attractive to all of our visitors and what content visitors like to see, and to gauge the success of our events and exhibitions.

SIDZ may also use or disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to applicable law or comply with legal process served on SIDZ; (b) protect and defend SIDZ’s rights or property, the website, or SIDZ’s users; and (c) act under emergency circumstances to protect the personal safety of SIDZ affiliates, agents, or the users of the website or the public.
