I. Information We Collect
and What We Do with the
Collected Information
We do not use tracking software that can identify you personally while you are
visiting our web site. You can be assured that no personal information is
collected, retained, or used by SchulzMuseum.org.
We may perform statistical analyses of aggregate user behavior, but it is not
based on personal identifying information. This allows us to measure relative
interest in the various areas of our web sites for development
purposes. Any information we collect is used for
its own internal purposes to
improve the content of the web sites, to enhance users' experiences when visiting
our site, to customize the content and/or layout of our pages, and to provide the
services required by an individual user. Any statistical analyses of user behavior
will not be based on personal identifying information, but solely on aggregate
information. We may share this aggregate information with advertisers, potential
advertisers, or persons involved in product development or manufacture.
II. Use of Cookies
Like many other commercial sites, our site may utilize a standard technology
called a "cookie" to collect information about how our site is used. Cookies were
designed to help a web site recognize a user's browser as a previous visitor and
thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user
was browsing the site. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard
drive, pass on a computer virus, or capture your e-mail address. Our web site may
use cookies to enhance your visit. They help us see which areas are popular and
which are not. Many improvements and updates to our website are based on the
data collected through the cookies such as total number of visitors and pages
viewed. Cookies can securely keep track of selections, such as those selected in a
"shopping cart." Our cookies may collect your domain name and track your
selections through our web pages. We only use "cookies" to gather the information
indicated in this policy and do not use cookies to gather personal dentifying
information about you without your consent.
III. Disclosure to Third Parties
We disclose only in aggregate form our
statistical analyses or demographics of users to third parties, such as advertisers,
potential advertisers, or persons involved in product development or manufacture.
IV. Accuracy of User Information
Questions regarding our privacy policy, the accuracy of your personal
information, or the use of the information collected should be directed to webmaster@schulzmuseum.org

These privacy policies are effective as of April 20, 2000. We reserve the right
to change this policy as soon as they go into effect.
V. Security of Information
We use our best efforts to ensure the security of personal information
submitted by users. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of
information from your PC to our computers. Unfortunately, no electronic
communication over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we
strive to take great care to protect your personal information, the Charles M. Schulz Museum cannot warrant
the security of any information that you submit to us, and you do so at your own
risk.
