Privacy Policy

The Historical Society of Hammonton (HSH) strives to protect the privacy of its website visitors.  We are committed to delivering a safe and valuable experience when visiting the HSH website.  HSH collects both statistical and personal information on this site.

Disclaimers

HSH is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.  Information on this website is presented purely for educational and informational purposes.  Use of this website is subject to the provisions of this privacy policy.

HSH cannot guarantee the website will be error-free.  However, every reasonable effort is made to ensure the content is accurate, reliable and complete.  This includes correcting any errors that are brought to our attention. Anyone is free to contact us at info@historicalsocietyofhammonton.org if an error is noticed.

Statistical Information

Like many other websites, HSH collects statistical information as users navigate the site.  This information is analyzed in aggregate – that is, we collect information about thousands of site visits and analyze it as a whole.  We use these statistics to help make our site more useful to visitors and to improve the services we offer.  We may share aggregated information, which does not contain personal information, with other organizations.

Personal Information

When you visit our site, we do not collect any personal information about you unless you voluntarily choose to provide us with the information.  You may visit many of our pages anonymously.  However, there are some portions of the site that ask for personal information.  These include when you register on our site, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, send a donation, or fill out a form.

When ordering, registering, subscribing, donating or purchasing on our site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, or credit card information.  Credit card information is used only for your intended purchase (i.e., store purchase or donation).  Contact information is used to respond to your inquiries and to send products and services requested from our website.  We may also use it to contact you to provide information about other HSH activities, programs, fundraising opportunities, products, and special events that may interest you.

Email Lists

The purpose of our email list is to keep you updated on exhibitions, events, and special offers.  This is an opt-in service where our customers have full control over their subscription.  The information you provide us will be kept confidential, and HSH will not sell your email address.  You may modify or cancel your subscription at any time.  If you provide your email address, HSH may periodically contact you with special offers and updated information.

Any emails we send to you will include a link in the footer of the email where you can opt out.  If you wish to be removed from the mailing list, you may also do so by contacting HSH directly or emailing info@historicalsocietyofhammonton.org.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that a website or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

We use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart, understand and save your preferences for future visits, and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.  HSH does not use cookies to store any personal information about a user.

Privacy

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information.  This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.  We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.  However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites.  These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites.  We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.  Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.

Revisions to Our Web Policies

Please note that HSH may revise its privacy policy at any time.  Occasionally, changes in technology, functionality, content we provide, laws and/or HSH policy may require us to revise policies and practices on this page.  We encourage you to periodically visit this page to review our most current policy.  Your continued use of the site shall constitute your acceptance of any such changes to this policy.
