Your privacy is critically important to us at The Children’s Aquarium (herein referred to
as “Company”) we have a few fundamental principles:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
- We will never share or sell your personal information submitted through this website.
- We don’t collect or store sensitive information on our website hosting servers.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Company collects non-personally-identifying information of
the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser
type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.
Company’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better
understand how Company’s visitors use its website. Company also collects potentially
personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses with website form
submissions. Company only discloses IP addresses under the same circumstances that
it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that
form submission IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the
administrator of the website.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Company’s websites choose to interact with Company in ways that
require Company to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of
information that Company gathers depends on the additional information provided
through the “Message” or “Question” text area on our website forms. In each case,
Company collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill
the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Company. Company does not disclose
personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can
always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may
prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Company may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. However,
Company does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described
below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Company discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying
information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that
(i) need to know that information in order to process it on Company’s behalf or to
provide services available at Company’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to
disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations
may be located outside of your home country; by using Company’s websites, you
consent to the transfer of such information to them. Company will not rent or sell
potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other
than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above,
Company discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying
information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request,
or when Company believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to
protect the property or rights of Company, third parties or the public at large. If you are a
user of a Company website and have supplied your email address, Company may
occasionally send you an email to tell you about new products/services, solicit your
feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Company. If you send us
a request (for example via a website form, email or via one of our feedback
mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it without your personally identifiable
information in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support
other users. Company takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the
unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying
and personally-identifying information.
