Privacy Policy

The Oceanside Museum of Art (OMA) places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This privacy policy was created in order to demonstrate OMA’s firm commitment to the privacy of our members and website users. This policy explains what types of information is collected by the OMA website (OMA Online), and how this information is used.

What Personally Identifiable Information is Collected?

OMA members and individuals that sign up to receive OMA e-communications voluntarily provide us with contact information (such as name and e-mail address). We may use this information for specific, limited purposes. You may always "opt out," either now or at any time in the future, if you do not wish to receive our messages. 

IP addresses

OMA uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer OMA Online, and for statistical metrics used to track website visitor traffic.

Cookies

OMA Online uses "cookie" messages to automatically help provide better services. They remind us who you are and your preferences for our website based on what you've done and told us before. The "cookie" is placed in your computer and is read when you come back to our website. Cookies let us take you to the information and features you're particularly interested in. They also let us track your usage of OMA Online, so we know which parts of our sites are most popular. You can reject cookies or cancel them by instructing your Web browser accordingly.

How Your Information May Be Used

We use your personal information to provide you with personalized service; to send e-mail alerts to you; to answer your requests; to process your membership application; etc. You may choose to opt out at any time, which will cease all communications from us. We may also use your information to track visitors to our website. This lets us see which of our features are the most popular so we can better serve our users' needs. It also lets us provide aggregate data about our traffic (not identifying you personally, but showing how many visitors used which features, for example) to outside parties

Email Privacy

OMA does not provide, sell, or rent email addresses to anyone outside the organization.

External Links

OMA Online may include links to external websites. These links do not fall under the OMA Online domain, and OMA is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of external websites. Your use of any linked website is solely at your own risk.

Implementation

This policy must be made available on the OMA Online website and a reference to the website link included in all communication from OMA.

Modifications

We may amend this privacy policy from time to time by posting an update on our website; please review it periodically. Your continued use of our website after the date that such notices are posted will be deemed to be your agreement to the changed terms.
