Castle Air Museum Foundation, Inc. (collectively, “Castle Air Museum,” “we,” “us” and “our”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy (“Policy) is meant to inform you, as a user and/or visitor of the Castle Air Museum, the personal information we collect, use, maintain, protect, and disclose through this website, and other Castle Air Museum websites, including our Legacy Giving Campaign, that link to this Policy (collectively, “Sites”), and other offline aspects relating to visiting the Castle Air Museum.

You may provide to Castle Air Museum personal information, which is generally called “personally identifiable information.” The types of personal information we collect will depend on much you engage with our Sites and their services.

This includes third party e-commerce service providers who collect personal information necessary to process transactions, and may use the collected information to improve the services they provide. It also includes third party partners who serve advertisements across the Internet and sometimes on their websites on Castle Air Museum’s behalf. These marketing partners may use information about your visits to the Sites to personalize advertisements. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.

Unaffiliated Third Party Links
Our Sites may contain links to other websites or services that Castle Air Museum neither owns nor operates. Sites hosted by third party service providers, such as PayPal, may appear as if you are still on a Site. To tell whether you are on one of the Sites or viewing third party content, please check the URL address in your browser’s address window.
We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every third party website and service provider before providing any personally information to them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. If you choose to visit or use any third party websites, including those offered by our third party service providers or other partners, please be aware that this Policy will not apply to information that you disclose to third parties.
Cookies and Other Related Technologies
Internet cookies are small text files placed on your computer by a website you visit. A cookie contains information on you that your browser saves and sends back to a website when you visit it again. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, links web pages to web servers and cookies and may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server. We or third parties acting on our behalf collect certain computer and browser information through the use of automated technologies such as cookies and web beacons when you visit our Sites or otherwise interact with us online.
We or these third party companies may use first party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) or other first party identifiers, and third party cookies (such as Google advertising cookies and retargeting cookies) or other third party identifiers together.
The information collected using these tools may include, but is not limited to, your IP address, UserAgent, Referrer URL, ClientID, Cookie User ID, the address of the web page that referred you to one of our Sites, dates and times of Site visits, and the location of your device. Companies acting on our behalf may combine the information collected from your visit to our Sites with other information they have collected previously.
These cookies and other related technology allow third party companies to help us improve your experience on our Sites, understand how the Sites are being used, measure the number of visitors to the Sites, and supply you with advertising that is more relevant to you when you are visiting the Sites or other websites that promote our marketing campaign. We also work with third parties who may place cookies, such as retargeting cookies, on your web browser to enable us (and other advertisers) to serve you with advertising based on your search activity.
Your web browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies and how to restrict, reject or disable certain cookies. For more information about removing cookies for your specific web browser, visit allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/clear-cookies-installed.html.
Opt-Out And Do-Not-Track Signals
Do Not Track (DNT) is a web browser setting that requests that a website or web application disable its tracking of a user’s browsing data. Various web browsers (including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari) offer a “do not track” option, which sends a signal to websites visited by the user about his or her browser DNT preference setting.
We do not directly respond to “Do Not Track” signals and no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted. We do not permit third parties other than our analytics and service providers to track the users’ activity on the Sites. We do not track your online activity on other online services over time.
Additionally, you may opt-out of data collection from certain companies:
• We use Google Analytics to collect and analyze information about the use of our Sites. This information helps us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you have an account with Google you can manage your advertising settings, otherwise you can manage these settings through your web browser.
• You may also opt-out of Google Analytics by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on here. Please review Google’s terms of service and privacy policy before installing. You can learn about Google’s practices by clicking here.
• You may also opt out of the automated collection of information by certain third-party ad networks for the purpose of delivering advertisements tailored to your interests, by visiting the consumer opt-out page for the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising.
Because those opt-out pages are specific to your browser used to visit it and because we do not have control over those unaffiliated third party websites, we are unable to perform the opt-outs on your behalf.
Unsubscribe to Newsletter
If you have subscribed to our free electronic newsletter and wish to stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe to the email list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the email you receive.
Security
We use reasonable physical, organizational, and technological security measures to help protect the personal information in our possession. However, as technology continues to develop overtime, there is no storage, or transmission of data over the Internet that is guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee to providing absolute security.
Children
Unless otherwise explicitly stated, the Sites maintained by Castle Air Museum are not specifically dedicated to children and we do not actively solicit information from children. We do not knowingly collect or store any personal information from children under 16 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we may have inadvertently collected personal information from your child, please notify us immediately by sending an email at jmpruzzo@gmail.com.

We may make changes to our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, we advise that you review this page from time to time for any changes. If we make any material changes to this Policy, we will post the updated Policy here and may notify you by means of a notice on our Sites. The updated Policy will be effective immediately upon posting on this page.
